Art foresees a lot of things that will only come to society and politics later, is the formula.
Even if dark literature is most obviously mentioned, such as "1984" or "Fahrenheit 451", less all the networks and initiatives in which artists and art mediators work on ideas for tomorrow.
These days the Alte Oper Frankfurt invites you to the ideas marathon to think about the future of the city together.
The fact that there is a lot of potential in such joint considerations is basically as old as making art itself. The fact that manifestos or visions of the future in writing and images is more of a more recent thing.
A couple of hundred years old.
So far, however, the artistic gift of foresight has not been used to predict the federal election and its outcome.
In this respect, the last citizens' meeting in the “Dionysia” series is trying something new.
In the summer building at the Kaiserlei between Frankfurt and Offenbach, you can spend the afternoon of the federal elections discussing the future of society.
The performers who appear then seem to know a little more.
For 7 p.m. they announce: Speech by the future Chancellor.
