BACKSTAGE Festival 2026 »Zwischenräume«
Pressure, pressure, press on everything. Press, press yourself.
Others are pressing. Where is the press when you need it?
Where is the truth? It's currently unemployed! Jackhammers in East and West.
Paying so much tribute that the fish in Greenland stink and penguins dance with pedophiles under the Northern Lights.
Is it actually possible to dance on the volcano of politics? Sure, if you're the sulfur yourself!
All of world history has been and continues to be a succession of contempt, greed, and cruelty!
Why should anything change right now?
But isn't there a moment when everything seems to fall into place, when systems of oppression can be overthrown from within?
Completely without oppression and lies, without torture chambers, no piles of corpses on the dusty streets of dictatorships.
We are advancing! We have everything we need: Our clarity after the anger, our knowledge of the enemy. We have learned from him.
Perhaps this is the last attempt, this moment in which we all realize something: OURSELVES!
