Welcome to Mount Average. In this performative tour, Julian Hetzel takes us on a factory visit that confronts us with our own ideologies. The theatre creator grinds statues of rulers, dictators and tyrants into pulp in order to give them a new, meaningful purpose. 

Mount Average questions acquired rights, traditions, privileges and wealth, ideologies and totalitarian ideas – aspects present in every (post-colonial) society. In this industrial environment, the clash between a static past and a fluid present creates a productive form of friction that stirs up the dust. With KVS face Pitcho Womba Konga.

Julian Hetzel’s performances are attempts to unravel the world, while also trying to offer strategies for transforming it. His work gives us speculative methods that teach us to deal with both the traumas of the past and the challenges of the present. The future is in our hands. 

Extra
