Three Times Left is Right is a performance about radical opposites living together. Inspired by a Viennese couple (she is a pioneering thinker in the Identitarian movement, he is a cultural science scholar with a communist background), theatre maker Julian Hetzel examines the proximity of hatred and love and how the private becomes political.

How do we coexist with those whose beliefs are worlds apart from our own? Three Times Left is Right focuses on a couple at odds. German theatre-maker Julian Hetzel was inspired by a Viennese couple for his play: while she is a leading intellectual of the new right, he is a cultural scholar with a communist past. Three Times Left is Right is a family portrait that magnifies the fractures of society, the challenges of living together with irreconcilable positions. The performance invites the audience to confront the proximity of love and hatred, polarisation and the normalisation of violence in ideological conflicts. What happens when our moral compass is shifted, when we are no longer able to clearly recognise the difference between right and left? The theatre becomes a space to speculate about an unsettling future scenario. As the German saying goes: there's an end to everything, but two to a sausage – as the performance shows.

Triggerwarning: Three Times Left Is Right is an urgent and darkly humorous piece about polarization.
