What is a democracy? How is it different from other forms of government?
“The Constitution - A Question of Its Constitution” is an entertaining and fun theatrical production focusing on the pillars of a democratic state and presented in a unique approach. What is behind the term constitution? Why do we even need one? In principle, it's just a set of rules that defines the way people should co-exist.

As part of a classic Doppelconférence (in which one performer takes on the role of an intelligent, educated individual and the other is not as bright), Barbara Novotny and John F. Kutil will take the audience on a captivating journey behind the origins of the constitution. They are accompanied on stage by talented students from “Die Rose” school. “The Constitution - A Question of Its Constitution” is a compelling, out-of-the-ordinary production about the essence of democracy, sparking a sense of curiosity and awareness, and bringing seemingly “dry” articles and laws to life on stage. The production is an inspirational theatrical experience providing an extraordinary opportunity to discover the constitution in a completely new way.

Several performances will be held in partnership with the Children's Culture Week Linz, opens an external URL in a new window.
