Cottbus Piccolo Theater Youth Dance Company’s Powerful Performance
Witness the breathtaking energy as 11 young dancers of the Cottbus Piccolo Theater youth dance company take to the stage in their latest production, “Move On Move Over.” This theater piece delves into the themes of time, war, and migration, capturing the essence of today’s complex world.
Director Reinhard Drogla considers this production the highlight of the upcoming season, emphasizing the importance of youth in shaping our future. Despite political shifts towards the far-right populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the region, optimism prevails.
However, with the AfD gaining ground in recent elections, concerns loom over the impact on the cultural sector. The party’s views on culture, immigration, and nationalism draw criticism from experts who warn of parallels to past ideologies.
As the Brandenburg state braces for crucial elections, cultural figures like Arnold Bischinger, director of Beeskow Castle, fear potential backlash from the AfD. In the face of right-wing aggression towards critical art and cultural diversity, the future of cultural institutions hangs in the balance.
Join us in celebrating the transformative power of art and diversity as we navigate through challenging times with hope and resilience.
