Three times left is right

21.10.25 — 22.10.25

In a time of increasing polarisation and the emergence of right-wing radical, nationalist, political movements, Studio Julian Hetzel creates a play about the challenges of living together with radical extremes in one home. 

The new right successfully claims and appropriates the vocabulary and the revolutionary attitude of the old Left; while the Left is experiencing an identity crisis. The old is dying and the new cannot be born.  

Three Times Left is Right is a family portrait that explores the relationship between the populist right and progressive left. A project about the proximity of hate and love; an investigation of the economy of polarisation.

This performance invites the audience along an ideological moebius strip that traces how ideas and people shift – leading to the equation: three times left is right.  

“I love to hate you.  

I hate to love you.”

  • Hetzel manages to twist political left and right into one theatrical sausage, rivalling both Werner Schwab and Quentin Tarantino. This is the kind of bread and games theatre was made for
