Valeska Gert Guest Professorship
Saar Magal
Opening Lecture
The seminar by Israeli choreographer Saar Magal explores the three monotheistic world religions from a philosophical and literary perspective: What are the powers of imagination that sustain the order and reality of the world? What happens when they lose their hold on living tradition? What brings change or leads away from it? Magal develops performative and scenic techniques with dance studies students in Berlin and physical theatre students in Essen.
