On to the big showdown! Whether in Augsburg, Paris, Tokyo or New York: rents are too high! Corporations are buying up houses, tenants are being thrown out and forced out of their neighborhoods. The law of the jungle prevails! But who is to blame for the misery? Greedy landlords or affluent hipsters? Inactive politicians or drag queens? After the resounding success of "Kampf um Augsburg" at the Brechtfestival 2023, the wrestling format inspired by epic theater celebrates its entry into Brecht's Kraftklub. In the "Battle for the City", cultural struggle becomes class struggle again. Be there when the little people free themselves from the clutches of the powerful and put the ideology of the market in a headlock!
On to the big showdown! After the resounding success of 'Kampf um Augsburg' at the Brechtfestival 2023, the wrestling format inspired by epic theater is celebrating its entry into Brecht's Kraftklub. Whether in Augsburg, Paris, Tokyo or New York: rents are too high! Corporations are buying up houses, tenants are being thrown out and forced out of their neighborhoods. The law of the jungle prevails! But who is to blame for the misery? Greedy landlords or affluent hipsters? Inactive politicians or drag queens? In the 'battle for the city', the culture war becomes class war again. Be there when the little people free themselves from the clutches of the right and put the ideology of the market in a headlock!
Büyük kapışmaya doğru! Brechtfestival 2023'teki "Kampf um Augsburg "un büyük başarısının ardından, epik tiyatrodan esinlenen güreş formatı Brecht'in Kraftklub'ına girişini kutluyor. Augsburg'da, Paris'te, Tokyo'da ya da New York'ta: Kiralar çok yüksek! Şirketler evleri satın alıyor, kiracılar dışarı atılıyor ve mahallelerinden zorla çıkarılıyor. Orman kanunu hüküm sürüyor! Peki bu sefaletin suçlusu kim? Açgözlü ev sahipleri mi yoksa varlıklı hipsterlar mı? Aktif olmayan politikacılar mı yoksa travestiler mi? "Şehir için savaş "ta kültür savaşı yeniden sınıf savaşına dönüşüyor. İnsanlar kendilerini Sağın pençesinden kurtardığında ve piyasa ideolojisine kelepçe vurduğuna tanıklık edin!
