Happening at the theatre
Basel in the 20s. A few young people move into the city. They go in search of the others who live and work here: in nail studios, on the street, in formerly squatted houses, in leisure facilities, parks, in parallel worlds. It is also a journey into the history of the city. And it is not only characterized by the increase in money, but also by people and groups, the so-called violent youth of the 1980s and subsequent years, who campaigned for a fair distribution of wealth and for the recognition of diversity: for the distribution of goods, housing, education and culture. Basel, like many cities throughout Europe, has repressed political rebellion in recent years with high levels of police violence. Who still dares to stand up against this and where are the spaces to argue with each other beyond scandalization? The history of all cities is always also a history of structural violence and social differences.In reality and in people's everyday lives, they become normalized and are often not even perceived as such.As self-proclaimed counter-violence, the «violent» youth usually reaps incomprehension and contempt.Yet «youth» itself is as threatened as the climate. What does youth mean when there is no longer a viable future?The bourgeois part of society could at least recognize its seismographic function when it comes to putting its finger in the undeniable wounds of society.This is the ode. Who makes the city this city and what do people need to live?
