Three Times Left is Right

The left is in an identity crisis, new right-wing political parties successfully claim the revolutionary attitude that used to characterize old left-wing parties. The old is dying, the new cannot be born. In Three Times Left is Right, Studio Julian Hetzel asks himself: how can we live together with people who hold completely different views than we do? A couple lives on tense terms with each other. With their opposing ideas, they embody the challenge of living together with incompatible ideologies. A family portrait that explores the relationship between populist right and progressive left. What if your moral compass shifts? What if you think left but act right, or vice versa? What happens when polarization becomes so extreme that we no longer see the difference? What if it happens under your own roof? This performance is an invitation to the audience to explore ideological conflicts in which violence is normalized. Three Times Left is Right transforms the theater into a speculation space and stages a disturbing future scenario. Everything has an end – but a sausage has two. I love to hate you. I hate to love you. Met Josse De Pauw & Kristien De Proost “Hetzel succeeds in twisting political left and right into one theatrical sausage. (…) This is the kind of bread and circuses for which theater was made.”-★★★★★ De Standaard)
