Brilliant and provocative, German artist Julian Hetzel – known for his politically charged works with an almost documentary approach, ranging from theatre to performance, music and visual arts – directs Three Times Left is Right, a show that depicts a disturbing but plausible future, inviting the audience to confront ideological conflicts in which violence has become normalised.

How can we coexist with those whose worldviews are radically opposed to our own? The new work by the Studio Julian Hetzel company revolves around a couple in conflict. Divided by irreconcilable beliefs, the two protagonists embody the difficulty of sharing a space – intimate or social – under irreconcilable ideologies. A family portrait that amplifies the fractures in society: 'Ti amo quando ti odio. Ti odio quando ti amo“. A performance that draws the audience along a political 'Möbius strip”.
What if our moral compass changed direction? What if we thought right but acted left – or vice versa? What happens when polarisation becomes so extreme that boundaries are no longer distinguishable?
