BECOMING JUDITHA! A guide to hatred

The content on this page was translated automatically.

Music theater based on the oratorio Juditha triumphans devicta Holofernis barbarie by Antonio Vivaldi and HASS. On the power of a resistant feeling by Şeyda Kurt.

Hate is not allowed. Hate is ugly and far too strong a word anyway.
But it grows within us: in our unease about patriarchy and neoliberalism, in our bewilderment about femicide and rape culture, in our anger at Nazis, at people like Elon Musk and those who emulate him. But where does this hatred lead? Can it do more than divide and destroy?

Following in the footsteps of Juditha, who cuts off Holofernes' head, we search for the link between hate, care and community. This new piece of musical theater is a guide to a resistant feeling, based on the book HATE by bestselling author Şeyda Kurt (Harper Collins), because perhaps a hatred that rebels against indifference is not so bad after all, but can be the "promise of a future worth living".
