Reading and discussion

The fundamental values of the European Union are freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law. But what will happen in the future to the dreams and hopes of people who want to build a common Europe on these values? Will a post-national democracy prevail or is there a threat of a relapse into a Europe of nation states? In his essay "The World of Tomorrow", Robert Menasse explains and defends the European idea, but also invites us to criticize and overcome the systemic contradictions of the Union. Robert Menasse reads from his essay and his novel to accompany our production "The Enlargement": What will the Europe of tomorrow look like?
