The power of enlightenment - Walking with Kant
by Saskia Boddeke and Peter Greenaway
To mark the 300th anniversary of Immanuel Kant's birth, the Einstein Forum is presenting the art installation "The Power of Enlightenment - Walking with Kant" by Saskia Boddeke and Peter Greenaway in the Orangery in Potsdam's New Garden. A supporting program with three international conferences, art, music and theater performances celebrates the achievements of the most important philosopher of the Enlightenment.
The installation in five multimedia spatial images comments on Kant's appeal to base our actions on reason. Boddeke and Greenaway are known for their immersive, multimedia and sensually opulent spatial installations. In impressive impressions of light, sound and movement, the artists unfold a panorama of Kant's most important philosophical ideas.
Extraordinary musical performances and a lecture will be held in the exhibition rooms on several evenings. The first highlight is a theater piece specially arranged for the occasion by composer and singer Daniel Kahn, who interprets Daniel Kehlmann's bestseller Tyll musically. The second musical event is a new interpretation of Mozart's Magic Flute by the British chamber opera ensemble Wild Arts, accompanied by a lecture by philosopher Martha Nussbaum from her forthcoming book on opera.
Idea and scientific direction: Susan Neiman, Director Einstein Forum
Curatorial direction: Cilly Kugelmann
