“The New World” is a Russsian-German project of the “Territoria” festival and the “Nordwind” festival. It is a series of three theatricalized discussions. Representatives from Russia and Germany are in the center of each discussion. Moderator and curator of the Russian part is Konstantin Bogomolov who has long been known not only as one of the leaders of a modern Russian stage direction, but also as a brilliant showman.
Topics of the three nights are banded with a concept which is essential for the era of globalisation – a free market. It is seen as a universal mean of a mutual exchange not only of goods, but also of ideas, emotions and world views…
The second night MARKET OF FEARS The modern world has entered the era of instability and new challenges. And importance of collective phobias, which overwhelm the society, has grown. Many of them depict real dangers of a modern civilisation, others are a result of political manipulations or the power of the media and social networks.
