Three Times Left is Right
New right-wing political parties are successfully claiming and appropriating the vocabulary and revolutionary posture of old leftist movements, while the left is undergoing an identity crisis. The old is dying, and the new cannot be born.
This performance takes the audience on an ideological Möbius strip, revealing how ideas and people shift—leading to the formula: Three Times Left is Right.
In a time of growing polarization and the rise of radical right-wing, nationalist political movements, Studio Julian Hetzel creates a performance about the challenge of coexisting under one roof with radical opposites. A family portrait that examines the relationship between populist right and progressive left.

I hate to love you."
