’68 turns 50 and the children of the “children of Marx & Coca Cola” now have children or their own. They will learn about the year 1968 in the same way that earlier generations did about the year 1848, as Hannah Arendt assumes: “Failure as Chance!” Yet it is precisely those failed revolutions, which leave traces and establish an ‘invisible republic’. What did they say about 1848? “A spectre is haunting Europe…” And so andcompany&Co. set out this spring in search of an imaginary movement, whether in Frankfurt, Sofia, Berlin, Prague or at the very spot of Dany Cohn-Bendit’s secret border crossing on the Bridge of Europe in Kehl. At the places of the uprising, they will repeat those past events as ritual. The borderless Europe – is it that ‘invisible republic’? In form of a lecture-concert-performance, andcompany&Co. present a preview of their revolution revue “INVISIBLE REPUBLIC”, to be shown at Mousonturm at the end of the year.
