Each activists and artists in their own way, Édouard Louis, Geoffroy de Lagasnerie and Milo Rau discuss the possibilities and internal contradictions of politically committed art in three short podcasts. What role do documentation and truth play in the face of a boundless concept of art?Is art conceivable as a hermetic space - or deeply enmeshed in social events? What can art contribute to strategies of resistance?

In their first conversation, they problematise the contradictions of the bourgeois regime of representation and distributory logic of the artistic field. A transcript of their conversation will be published with “L’Arche” as a book and constitute the starting point of a staging by Milo Rau together with Édouard Louis.

Moderation: Laura Cappelle

Aesthetics of Resistance - Part II

Sun, 28 Feb, 4 pm
Aesthetics of Resistance - Part III

In the tradition of the conference series »School of Resistance«, lawyer and ECCHR Deputy Legal Director Miriam Saage-Maaß, curator and artist Lara Staal, and political scientist Surer Mohamed join dramaturge Kasia Wojcik to discuss the possibilities, conditionings, and problems of transnational justice. How can debates about global (in)justice be addressed with aesthetic means, but also scientifically and legally? What would a global jurisdiction mean? Are projects such as the »Congo Tribunal« breaking ground in creating utopian possibilities for a new law?

The discussion will be held in English. 

Willy Decker’s stunning production of Verdi’s unforgettable drama stars the riveting singing actress Natalie Dessay as Violetta.

Exhausted by her restless life as a courtesan, Violetta knows she will die soon. But then she meets the young and idealistic Alfredo (Matthew Polenzani), who offers her true love—with tragic consequences. Dmitri Hvorostovsky is Giorgio Germont, Alfredo’s stern father, and Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi is on the podium.

Discussion with Juliane Rebentisch, Andres Veiel and Milo Rau

Together with philosopher Juliane Rebentisch and documentary filmmaker and Academy Member Andres Veiel, Milo Rau talks about art as a transformative practice shaping and creating reality. Can art intervene in social orders through creative interventions in order to question, overturn or even tear them down? Does committed art thus herald the future – or is it merely a substitute and melancholic remnant of revolts that have failed in realpolitik?
