Trigger warning: This piece is a risky attempt at dialogue in times of growing polarization. But who is being warned about whom or what? Inspired by the relationship between a left-wing cultural theorist and an author from the New Right, Julian Hetzel has developed "Three Times Left Is Right (3xL=R)", a provocative two-person play that negotiates world politics at the kitchen table: Kristien de Proost and Josse De Pauw slip into the roles of this unusual married couple and throw themselves into an intimate duel about political convictions, family closeness and the rift that runs through both society and the private sphere. Torn between opposing convictions, they embody the challenge of living together with incompatible ideologies. Where does the private sphere become political? How do you bring up your children when you adhere to completely opposing world views? And what role does love play in this?
A rapprochement as a balancing act in the midst of growing social division and an invitation to the audience to become active - as spectators, as citizens, as human beings.
