I want to hold seat with Marcus Steinweg, Gwenael Morin and his theater company, at the Swiss Cultural Center for an 8 weeks period (from December 4-January 30, 2005). With this daily presence and production, I want to de-idealize Democracy and destabilize democratic good conscience. I am in revolt against the utilization of direct Democracy, I am in revolt against the absurdity of direct Democracy today in my country, Switzerland, and I am in revolt against the election of Christoph Blocher to the Federal Council." Thomas Hirschhorn Thomas Hirschhorn publishes every day (except Monday) a free newspaper "Swiss Swiss Democracy" Marcus Steinweg gives every day (except Monday) a lecture at 4:00 pm / free admittance Gwenael Morin plays everyday (except Monday) Guillaume Tell at 7:00 pm / free admittance, with Gregoire Monsaingon, Julien Schwinte, Fanny De Chaille, Julian Eggerikx, Juliette Galamez and Eric Forterre |
