STREITKLUB – S. Rudat & das (i)dentityteam

Participatory Pop-Up Performances on the Topic of the Culture of Debate

Accessibility: with open audio description and induction loop technology. Wheelchair accessible at additional performances on September 12 at the Alte Feuerwache and on December 12 at the FFT Düsseldorf

When social currents drift further and further apart, dialogue is essential; but we—as a collective society—aren’t particularly good at debating.
So what can we do? Practice.
Welcome to the Streitklub: We are artists. We think in terms of utopias; theater is our profession, and conflicts belong on stage.

Come join the club—we’re practicing how to argue.

 Everyone is welcome in the Streitklub, as long as they play by the rules in good spirit.
First rule of the Debate Club: We talk about it!
Second rule of the Debate Club: We do NOT NOT talk about it!
Third rule of the Debate Club: …everyone joins in!

We’ll provide your “sparring partners,” with whom you can practice arguing in a relaxed setting.

Are you in—or have you been in—a conflict that you can’t resolve, or can’t resolve satisfactorily? Doyounever argue and want to stand up for yourself better? Do you argue fiercely, and does it often backfire? Come join us—we’ll argue for you and with you.

Send your conflict to mail@s-rudat.com
