// Panel discussion as part of Resistance now! Tour in cooperation with Wiener Festwochen //
The current leading European director Milo Rau will present his latest production Medea's Children at Prague Crossroads. At the same time, he is coming with his discussion project Resistance now! A tour that aims to bring together representatives of institutions, artists and activists. They share their visions of a common solidarity response to the danger posed by new nationalism in the fight against attacks on freedom of speech.
Together we will ask what is the role of theater in the 21st century, what can we as a cultural sector structurally to do to support the free, creative and independent theater scene in Europe and what is necessary to protect it from politically motivated attacks like we experienced this summer in Slovakia. We unite to better understand each other and to fight together for the universal utopia of enlightenment, the idea of Europe as a continent of democracy and joint cooperation.
