to us and the next on d, w, w. this is the, is available to them and it has never been since the germans monumental novel is a 100 years old, but still has a lot to say about the present. to $52.00 total chaos, the disintegration into escape has them. a satirist goes too far and then you have to investigate the calls about the guns and that must be more than a tire jokers has a host of eccentrics looking for their nation. been showing the protection i'm afraid of the reality out there and a pop icon from iran who lends her voice to the fight for freedom. the welcome to the arts unveiled

the 1st to a highly topical novel about war. hate speech. the rise of populism. a deadly pandemic and society on the edge of a press. it sounds like we're talking about today, right? actually it's all in a novel published a 100 years ago. the magic mountain by thomas model is on the full addresses, issues that still concern us today. issues we still discussed with great enthusiasm . oh, great hostility. i don't mind this novel come better explained to us problems. we're currently experiencing things of warriors today. people are also taking a closer look at the books we're out of which have always been can. okay, so i think it's a fascination read and the novels it has many interpretations. it has many layers in many things. it's also a 1000 pages long. it's a literal literary,

heavy weight. so what makes it worth the reading or even a secondary the magic mountains, $100.00 your anniversary is being marked with an exhibition into last month hometown and flew back with stage production. even a sequel, not written by someone's by himself, obviously. but 1st, what's it about? okay, what's at the same? it's the swiss alps at a sanatorium that's a kind of health resort or clinic where people think the fresh air will cure them of long disease. and there was plenty of long disease at the time, 2 months, months such as novel and $19.00, oh, $7.00, winter, berks and los is still a leading cause of death in europe. and the best treatment people can get if they can afford it, is breathing good air and just waiting around to get better. and they can wait a long time, answer if the story is young here, some us months, main character who goes to visit his sick and cousin. how does the people we meet this character, hans cast or 9 who travels into this world and ends up staying for 7 years and is

confronted with all the ideological political and philosophical debates of the time? that's i. what's funny about the book is, even though has kind of stop as actually healthy, she really gets into the santa torrie, the people, their philosophical debates, and just the culture of being a patient. there are strict health for teens luxurious meals obsessive temperature and taking the ends up and living like one of them, the ones on the end thoughts and then in an isolated hermetically sealed place. the questions of humanity are played out on all possible levels. even the cons, billing was progress, science love plays a major role. this is very present. and so all the big topics and so most mind creates 2 character patients of the clinic who really are polar opposites and their philosophies, sets and brittany on the one hand, p stands for progress and individual freedom for in the light. and then there's now

stuff she wants to see society dominated by it. so tower, terry and rosie to talk with her and resumes were starting to take power in europe at that time with the rise of communism as fast as, as concerns cast off as caught between these 2 that the whole novel revolt around the decision which site to take, but at least both these characters become a 100 concepts, mentors and he's really torn between the 2 philosophies. eventually search most of debates turn violence to rival space, often a do. and that's just the beginning of the violence. the book ends in 1914 with the start of world war one has cost or disappearing. and so the chaos of battle. when the magic mountain came out, it quickly became an international best seller, translated into many different languages. and over the decades influential people have claimed it as their favorite book, like american critics, susan sontag, who said she'd read it 7 or 8 times in span. big fan clubs cropped up in schools and universities. and there's no,

you don't have to have 3 talk trips in nature to understand to them this month because there's a lot of iron in human in his work. no more. it's about very serious things. but the book itself is an enjoyable experience. and there was some really hilarious things from you in the so in the i meant that you send us a copy of cc, much one group of people who didn't think the magic mountain was funny. it was the tourism board and thought both switzerland, they thought the books made the town look bad. they actually asked another big german writer of the time college tests not to write a novel that paints of the town in a better way. thomas mine live quite a while born in 1875 at the beginning of the german empire. his diaries reveal that he was bisexual at a time when that was not accepted. in 1929 he won the nobel prize for his novel vote in books. later the fled nazi germany with his wife, katya, a jewish convert to christianity, and there are 6 kids. so let's take

a step back in 1912, katia of mine had been diagnosed with tuberculosis and told him as mine went to visit her at a sanitarium and of a switzerland that became has an inspiration defense who fed up with mon, it's all coincidence. and so we imagined he must have sat there for years, thinking about how to do it. but it's all coincidence that's so 5 original a wanted to write the magic mountain as a short story on. and it turned into a 1000 page novel insight. and it took him 12 years to write it. he was interrupted by world war one, but also he was going through a shift in his own mindset. when he started writing the book, he was very pro war said 15 in 1914 thomas monta allowed himself to be carried away by the and suzy as him for war that was driving many intellectuals officers, writers and artists of the time. so he was in the front line of advocating for it. and in 1918 when germany was defeated, it was a lost cause and he went to

a very isolated who must monthly hold, those mountains switch sides, and the 1920s. he became one of the most eloquent defenders of the republic and by the 1930s during his exile and the united states. a true believe it and democracy it will come. when the nazis came to power in 1933, thomas, my left germany with his family move to switzerland, pen to the united states and later back to switch. busy from us mind advocated for tolerance and human dignity, and somebody died and 1955, which almost month broke the magic mountain. and she was thinking about his own process of political transformation. he puts a lot of the old, him, the pro war him, that he distance himself from, into the character of nafta. left me hand to muslim watson price is the most about thomas. mine is honest and sincere willingness and courage to change his mind. to put his views, the task again and again, and to write that news,

use one and to stand up for those new views until until you revise them again. i think of the some of the magic mountain reflects exactly that in this up when the magic mountain came out in 1924 european society was really on edge versus feeling like today. actually, the restlessness of heightened tensions, existential dread, and the feeling that society could go off the rails. best of luck and at least what was in the air, he writes in the novel, you can sense of tremendous on ease of fear of the future. and suddenly there's the situation at the end of the novel, where things are unraveling, uncertain as to where they start hitting each other, where they're cursing at the steps where the craziest ideas of merch off and people are literally losing their minds. boston is walters. someone's mind writes about total polarization division. people who stopped listening. cuz now i'm actually cuz

the tipping point today and this time of great eligibility, all you have to do is turn on any evening talk show and you'll see that people are interrupting each other, not listening. look, just yelling else. opinions that go to holland, muncie politics falling into populace, and what we now call hate speech and this information. this is the tensions and the dangers that are later going to lead to the fall of the weimar republic. germany's 1st attempt, real parliamentary democracy, ended with the nazi here is coming in, if you can follow it in vivid detail. he describes it with a tremendous aesthetic sense and tremendous psychological insight. to me creates an atmosphere where at the end, you just wonder who will shoot 1st, 1st in the jewel, and then at the very end, the war in which the whole thing culminates. pursuits 1st, even today we see people turning the violence and they can't get their way with work. they'll get and i think it's sadly current and we should keep that in mind

a not in a good way. it's been a century a 100 years and was still at the same place. he was stuff and then use me. yes them or is couple. see what, at the end of the magic mountain to him, us mon asks, out of this universe of feast of deaths, out of this extremity of fever, tingling the rain washed evening sky to a fiery glow. may it be that love one day. so now we should be ashamed of humanity that we still haven't done since the books. great final question after this universal feast of death. may it be that love one day shall mount this question about the horrible 20th century the 21st century starting the exact same way with the next universal feast of death and do crating them. the middle east with the models of mine was also ahead of his time when it came to sexuality. earlier. novella is 20, a career guy and death in venice at strong homo, erotic under the magic mountain contains motifs that are obviously clear best such

as long as it gets one of the books greatest strengths that it breaks every cliche, especially when it comes to questions of how to talk about in the body sexuality under offices? i'm sick, so they keep, the warranty comes custom, falls in love with a woman, but i'm so shocked. but she reminds him of a male classmates that he wants. fans defies the. the question of what a man is, what a woman is, what's masculine, what's feminine, and what is perceived as attractive, erotically attractive? all of that is fluid here. and gender fluidity was not mainstream. thomas monster and homosexuality was totally tab boot for most of society. is i think, was a criminal offense. in the 19 twenty's thomas mind campaigned against paragraph $175.00, which criminalize homosexual relationships and act towards month own desire for man was something she lived out and secret to the outside world. she was an upstanding, heterosexual citizen, with a wife and 6 kids. love,

hates politics and passion. they're all here in the magic mount someone's mind leaves it up to you though, how you want to interpret that. i'm just going sometimes we have to find out own way just like the characters in the story. it can. i think that in times of the fake news and everything happening quickly. this idea of having to read with critical lies and do that for ourselves and stay awake. that is the most current seeing what the numbers and that's what i liked the best. okay, so i sort of myself do i. e s was located monumental style and in case the idea of reading a 1000 pages seems overwhelming my document. you can always skip a hand these lots of readers have told me which parts they skipped, but i thought tom and then i'll some people may skip over parts of months master piece, but others give themselves permission to write part to that is quite simple, is that the tool must month conference, the magic mountain top to is about to be published. the also is not until last

month, right to and such harvest time. stone is the bold pretend the audience is skeptical from canada. so it was clear to me from the get go that certain cumulus circles would suspect i was failing, the german nest stayed on the best of crating a literary relic by simply hanging to on. it's the that's the junk, the hen dying of the sick, out of its time, strong because no stranger to provocation. in the 19 ninety's, a studio brown he's spouse, hold people with telephone pranks, fold them with a documentary about his band factors, and landed in the best set of this 20 years ago with his level flight just mind to me as a means as my vegetables and now the magic mountain to get up in front of i had the idea from the outset that the title in the cover would be in the type face of the arnold schwartzenegger auction, who to terminate or to in order to underlined the identity of i'm so i'm scared a small minded to even more from the perspective of your own entrance. and is it

all just provocation? oh, does it reflect some of the magnificence of the original $156.00 original passages from told us minds magic mountain on moving into the new book, and the cost of characters from the senatorial baton in modified, folded, hands cast off is now what starts up 1000000 that having us psychological crisis, all united custom, the original custom was lost in the turmoil of the 1st world war. and my own as high drink is also last hyperlink, you know, for me. but i won't tell you how, how v, as long as they're today to the colors, this is killed with antibiotics. so hind total cost is patients suffer from burnouts. the new mass disease display, the willingness to prevent a hunched old is aware of his responsibility as to most months successor. when he get 5 percent of the we're on the risk of getting myself into trouble, then i'd rather not then heavy. okay, that will keaton. before i make

a fool of myself, the other one, which one, if you have the audacity to call the book the magic mountain to the school system, then it has to be more than just accommodating that tar joe cancelled. and with some of the funding you have to do with justice on funding that i faxed in these books. his work doesn't do justice to the length of the original. the magic mountain to has a me, a 280 pages, but still in coats that this will help his read. just persevere to the end. and now to an exhibition in munich that celebrates being different curtain up for eccentricity in disneyland. oh must of cut on an unlocked little coffin colony. eccentric office and creations come together that she dissolved and exuberant and the delight and sell style. nice things. been shots i do protection. i'm afraid of

reality out there. that's why i love masks, costumes disguise, as opposed with gestures. extensive sentences defies all conventions. they get half of this cards bessie, they have a need for ever more idiosyncrasy. yeah, i can send for them to conceptual personalities. don't want to exclude anything. i'm still not sick, even though i create a world where everyone is. welcome. yes, to all the different, bold, unconventional dice this. yes, to all, that's a yes to all. that's preventative. open the borders. anything goes other to the says that this is sentence is in manipulative sentences that sac i tells you, find your own way. and they're the ones that create isa and of dealer. and bassett is pablo. have been in the living work of all sorts of also events worldwide for over 30 years. when it was, we going to cost all the use solar energy to change something. so even the smiles

we put on her face has changed something. so and that it was a life spent and like on the opposite side is a female. it's an invention as an art figure with our work of art is can we really take risks in everyday life? i think on the one hand, it's a form of cedar and staging, but at the same time it's also real life. i start this all. this is the video collection living load eccentricity comes from the creek, x country to step out of the center. we distance ourselves from what we think of as normal because of its limits, because the polar band might not be a predator it's hold, but would rather be advancing back what that think it extent does it as soon as guides and interesting, concentric personalities do take certain risks when they go out in public, the c 5 are different when they stand out,

the f e w naturally attract attention to origin or even regression from others spot . then on more thought off the i can someone from the end of the. busy eccentric aesthetics of freedom, the title of the exhibition in unique? well, some of the schools, a political dimension. people like sofia's do some issue courageously and even passionately. some thoughts, social conventions, all in a way immune to censorship. especially my boyfriend, for example. michael tooth is also a political act for me because firstly, suddenly i was interested in what happens when i make myself ugly on purpose. what does that do to me? what does it do to my life, to the people around me? if i directly and quite clearly refused to even look at myself with your patriarchal glasses, with your beauty still, and it's just, it's a personal statement that i don't even recognize your normal as normal guys as the eccentric can also be disturbing. like on the ordering books,

gynecology chat and instruments of torture and pleasure. o chloe, my seeming be pulling the graphic and yet strangely bloodless. we offer us some tight interest of the gods, scandalously, eccentric, and current hail bodies are exposed to violations and turned into fetishes. the reactions of the audience were extreme dizziness painting. i know i feel that you don't have to go into the hosting or, and it wouldn't. i mean it's not just about provoking for the sake of provocation, thoughts from so not but about doing something different. and that's us, and it's not something non normative. so it's a tool and eccentricity seems to stem from a deep and the need to need to express an intrinsic law. get mentioned a few is, are people who feel safe in the world that they have to find for themselves and then in the world that others have defined for them. if in the a tab,

at the same time eccentric students need to follow his oldest titles, it's enough recognition for them that we see there odessa, t and brilliance tomorrow. don't know what makes the exhibition in the seniors we see here so attractive. and so they are who they are, the volume outcomes, they don't want to be any different, but in order to search who they are with us. and that gives us courage and we want to support that. but this exhibition he's always doing well with the states and you know, and, and encourage people to become a little more colorful types of in the, maybe just the tests which are on to iran where single goose was silenced by the state

before be also sure everybody knew where the mega mega focused on the not just in her home country ever run in the 19 seventy's produce, was touring all over the world. now she's saying combine that documentary goose made a fire. a company is the 74 year old at one of our last concerts in frankfort on sales or story record over time. so will you listen to whether it be western music or the ring and music to go? she was always the thing, like many others. i felt very close to the decision maker at the premier in this discharge center. the goose is their 2nd major film for center and the subject close to heart. this is, um,

is the fact that i was able to make a film with a person who spanish nation based on his childhood. and that i was able to know to need to tell her story. but the story of a people to that's obviously capital for me. i'm something that will always be with me. on the biggest page on that in my mission big night, father introduced her to the stage when she was just 2 years old. who made the lead from child start to international stuff, combining persian lyrics with papa john's is on this walk makes good to special. on the one hand, of course, it's hot out acting, her singing her music of her incredible presence on stage. and on the other hand, i think it's her incredible biography, the biography she says with many office it's in a run that people try to come down to somebody has to silence her to break hash, but the goose has never given the meals. it's

a cultural icons forced to live in silence for more than 2 decades. since the 1979, there's dominic revolution that our homeland ever won them. when you get this with forming new i buy new books theater. i get tentative and sealing chain. you done a supplemental cab cut or hats in the sun hops special. assume the the take care of them to the k, a google store. you have them as in the cushion, but the get cut off and i did show them big on down the but i'd be states close to 21 years. asterisk in 2000. she was granted permission to leave for north america. she gave her 1st concert in front of 15000 people in toronto. she has not returned home since

the judge didn't get this. i think she also embodied the longing for freedom held by many a rainy is the current situation. the political situation and the wrong has been a hosted situation for 46 years. i think so since i spend the life and shelters of a unifier tardies a day came to germany with our family at the age of 17. a studies theater film director. today she runs a production company in heidelberg, but never let go for homeland. in 2006, she went to around as a filmmaker and producer until the political situation became increasingly tense. i press college was destroyed and thrown in my face the spanish that's and that wasn't true. i had a lot of trouble that i was also arrested. and then when the pressure on me in the room became too much, i resigned and decided to come back to your own back to which i actually wanted to

do this. let's say i feature length films long. so i want to take a piece of voice. filming irena in june and mazda nearly died under suspicious circumstances after being arrested for not wearing a huge of the, the goose made of fire. the ceiling that a strong woman and an icon or music can next generations. and stands for the hope of a free motor and run the goose dedicated the frankfurt concert to jean and mazda. i mean the
