matthaei & konsorten: Idiotie + Widerstand - Der Frühjahrssalon – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin
Program
matthaei & konsorten:
Idiotie + Widerstand - Der Frühjahrssalon
Idiotie + Widerstand - Der Frühjahrssalon
A live radio show that tests individual resistance in the heart of our rapidly growing controlling society: We are celebrating the proud peculiarity that refuses to conform. We reject the sexually charged nature of efficiency and are hammering out skewed models for the bar at the end of the assimilation. We will eavesdrop on the voices of foreign beauty – in the walk-in studio with various theorists, artists and practitioners of idiocy. Updates here - soon!
BY AND WITH Klaus Janek, Milena Kipfmüller, Jörg Lukas Matthaei, Monika Rinck and guests
Produced by matthaei & konsorten and SOPHIENSÆLE.

Director JÖRG LUKAS MATTHAEI specializes in interventions in urban landscapes. Based on documentary research on various topics, his productions create dense thematic spaces that can be experienced sensually. For his excursions into different worlds of imagination, Matthaei is always on the lookout for wayward ways of seeing and living that inspire resistance in our smoothed-out world and weaves these into his works in the form of interviews and short lectures. Under the label MATTHAEI & KONSORTEN Jörg Lukas Matthaei works together with artists from different disciplines. Since 2000, almost 50 works of various orientations have been created: From productions for the stage, installations and discourse productions to the development of new formats for urban landscapes, which have been a focus of the work for several years. Stagings by matthaei & konsorten can be encountered in all places that also occur in the lives of their actors or visitors. Recent works include COOP3000 eine neosolidarische concerngründung (Urban Arts Ruhr), BAILE BASSENA (Vienna Festival), URBAN MAGIC (Bangalore) and with the Sophiensæle most recently Im Apparat der Kriege (2014 Sophiensæle + radio version for rbb and others) and Verschwörung der Idioten. Between 2015 and 2016 they regularly presented the Idiotensalon at the Sophiensæle. matthaei-und-konsorten.de
