In the organizer's words:

Lobbying versus corruption - cultural seismograph of a society

Where does legitimate representation of interests end - and where does corruption begin?
This question is the focus of the concert reading with business criminologist Dr. Uwe Dolata, who is one of the most prominent voices in the field of compliance, corruption prevention and business ethics.

Using concise examples from business, politics and administration, Dr. Dolata shows how lobbying can function as a necessary component of democratic decision-making processes - and when it becomes a threat to transparency, fairness and social trust. Corruption does not appear to be a marginal phenomenon, but rather a cultural seismograph that reveals undesirable developments, shifts in power and moral fault lines in a society.

The reading combines scientific analysis with comprehensible language, pointed case studies and surprising perspectives. Musical elements lend the evening additional depth and create space for reflection - between insight, irritation and hope.

An evening that is as informative as it is powerful, making it clear why the fight against white-collar crime is worthwhile: for the rule of law, for equal opportunities and for trust in our social institutions.
