SALON on Sunday with Peter Strasser and Florian Scheuba

The contemporary update of the historical "Salon": Anna Luca Krassnigg invites personalities from art, literature, and science every Sunday to discuss pressing questions in light of the season's motto. This time, we are enriched by Daniela Strigl, Klaus Theweleit, Florian Scheuba, Lisz Hirn, Jonas Grethlein, and numerous other forward-thinking individuals.

Sunday, March 1st (11:30 AM) "Nothing More Monstrous Than Man" with Peter Strasser (Philosopher) and Florian Scheuba (Cabaret Artist)
On the first festival Sunday – following the premieres of Qualtinger's "Volksfest" and Kleist's "Penthesilea" – we will discuss the strange abysses of humanity, whether from a moral, social, or political perspective. What mechanisms and structures promote the terrible possibilities of humanity, and which can prevent them or even help develop its positive potential? And what role does humor play in the face of the monstrous?
We seek answers with the well-known Austrian author, legal and religious philosopher Peter Strasser and the combative stage magnet Florian Scheuba.

The form of the salon, which undoubtedly has a theatrical quality, aims at a dual event: the stage experience as a spark and the public salon as a ritual to further develop and let the experienced resonate.

With her renowned guests, theater maker Anna Luca Krassnigg explores variations of the monstrous and seeks answers to the eternal riddle of humanity's dual nature: in ancient myths, in Austria, in complex relationships of war and love, and in the monstrous events of our times.
