On Monday evening I was testing my poor, but growing French knowledge via attending the Didier Eribon à propos de `Retour à Reims´ at KAAITHEATER - a great institution, which promises to offer quite a lot and highly diverse program. This eve is the season’s kick-off with a series of #conversations To Authenticity … and beyond! where the invite artists and intellectuals to talk about their approaches to increasingly exploited word and its implications.
After missing Eribon’s visit to Vienna at the Academy of Fine Arts a few months ago I took the chance to listen to him at KAAI. At least I’ve read the book by Eribon - so I’ve been astonished how much I understood from the talk he had with the journalist Béatrice Delvaux from Le Soir. They focussed their conversation on the discourse around the class systems and its limits and shifts… How is it possible that former French communists now vote for the far right Le Penn for instance?
It was a big pleasure to attend this evening and I am very much looking to the next event at KAAI.
