The SUPERZART* Festival invites you to the lecture performance: "Zeitenwende.

The Bundeswehr, anti-feminism, right-wing thinking - the new normal? Violence against bodies and against feminist utopias is omnipresent. How can we prevent ourselves from getting used to it? What happens when emancipatory demands meet the old script of masculinity and militarism?

At a time when men are supposed to be "defensible" and Germany "fit for war" again, the performance "Zeitenwende" examines the complex relationships between masculinity, violence and militarization. Inspired by the ideas of historian Klaus Theweleit, Fikri Anıl Altıntaş and Katharina Wisotzki create a picture of the situation of violence that focuses on individual and social relations of violence.
"Zeitenwende" tells fragmentary stories about masculinity and violence: from soldierly bodies and hierarchical masculinities to violence against women and queers. The performance is dedicated to the question of what it actually means to be a man in a world that regards male violence as normal and femicides are part of everyday life. "Zeitenwende" is a call for social desertion; a demand to stop accepting violent narratives and realities of life.

We need to talk: The TALK will take place afterwards with the contributors.

With: Fikri Anıl Altıntaş, Katharina Wisotzki
