Krass Festival: Das Wort als Widerstand

At the beginning was the letter - then came the word [machina]

At a time when simple answers seem to be louder than the multifaceted reality, the KRASS Festival is all about articulation, because what remains unspoken also remains unshapable. The word can become an instrument of division. Words can hurt and cause pain. That is why the KRASS Festival is on a quest for good words that promote understanding and spark dialogue. These are speeches, positions, voices, and texts that are not satisfied with one-sidedness, but seek unity and a common force. Like an avalanche of vocabulary, a lake of warm alphabet soup. Immerse yourself in extraordinary artistic positions on unification, intervention, and stirring up the present. The festival is an invitation to listen radically, opens up spaces for counter-speech, and sets the stage for conversations without a fourth wall. The word as resistance: International voices and amazing storytellers from literature, performance, sociology, music, film, and politics present magical music nights, forgotten stories, bitterly true comedy, and surprising reality checks await.
