Nitsch meets Köhlmeier

18.07.2015

Under the title »Nitsch meets ...« Hermann Nitsch regularly invites famous personalities to Mistelbach to exchange thoughts. The event series begins in July 2015 with the author Michael Köhlmeier - who is famour for his novels but also for his re-narrations of Greek Mythology. As Greek Mythology also play an important role in the Orgien Mysterien Theater, created by Hermann Nitsch, it will stand in the center of the discussion.

„greek tragedies demonstrate the battle of the tragic confrontation with being. the god of theater is DIONYSUS, the drunk vintner torn apart in excess, who renews himself in the world. battle demonstrates metaphysics, brings them to their reality. it is also a result of battle, when the life energies sublime themselves to overall love."Hermann Nitsch
At the beginning of the event Michael Köhlmeier will give an introduction in Greek Mythology, followed by a discussion between him and Hermann Nitsch, which will be moderated by Michael Fleischhacker, chief editor of nzz.at. At 6 p.m. (before the start of the event) the visitor can take part in a guided tour around the Dionysosweg, which is located directly behint the museum.
If the weather is fine, the event will take place on the piazza outside the nitsch museum.
