Three Times Left is Right

Three Times Left is Right is a project about the proximity of hate and love. In their new work, Studio Julian Hetzel explores the economy of polarisation.

While the new right successfully claims and appropriates the vocabulary and the revolutionary attitude of the old Left, the Left is experiencing an identity crisis. The old is dying and the new cannot be born.
This performance invites the audience along an ideological moebius strip that traces how ideas and people shift – leading to the equation: three times left is right.

In a time of increasing polarisation and the rise of radically right-wing, nationalistic political movements, Studio Julian Hetzel creates a performance about the challenge of cohabitation between radical opposites under the same roof. A family portrait that explores the relationship between the populist right-wing and the progressive Left.

“I love to hate you.
I hate to love you.”

Three Times Left is Right will premiere on 17.05.2025 at the Wiener Festwochen, Vienna (AT).
German premiere: 22.05.2025 at Schauspiel Leipzig (DE)
Dutch premiere: 29.05.2025 at SPRING Festival Utrecht (NL)
