Loving play between politics and provocation: world premiere in Vienna!

Museumquartier, 1070 Wien, Österreich - Today, the play "Three Times Left Is Right" by Julian Hetzel celebrated its world premiere in the Museum Quarter's hall. The piece addresses the political tensions of a Viennese couple with different views. As reports vienna.at, the director Hetzel has a communist past, while his partner has oriented himself to the right. The main actors, Kristien de Proost and Josse de Pauw, are a couple in real life, which gives the staging a special dimension.

The piece is created as a documentary fiction and deals with relevant social issues such as child rearing, migration and freedom. Provocative elements such as inappropriate language and body shaming are also part of the performance. The spectators are called for solidarity and experience a staging that begins with a lecture on normalization and represents everyday situations of the protagonists. Further performances are scheduled for May 18 and 19, 2025, each at 8:30 p.m. The performance is listed in English with German overtitles.

social issues in focus

The topic of body shaming, which also occurs in Hetzel's piece, is not only relevant on stage. According to a report by [srf.ch] (https://www.srf.ch/kultur/bodyshaming-nie-nie-schoen-genug-warum-so-dewauen-ihren-Koerper-Koerper, many women have a disturbed relationship with their body, which often begins in childhood. In her autobiographical book "The Eternal Insufficient", the actress Saralisa Volm shares her experiences with eating disorders and the struggle for self -acceptance. The pressure to correspond to a certain ideal of beauty has increased through social media in recent years, which significantly influences the self -image of many women.

Elisabeth Lechner, a cultural scientist, confirms that women are evaluated from an early age in terms of their appearance, which leads to a distorted self -image. The beauty industry benefits from this self -hatred and sells products for supposed self -optimization. In order to act against these tendencies, Volm emphasizes the importance of questioning the influence of social media and dealing with art that shows different body pictures.

The influence of the media and ideals of beauty

The topic of beauty ideals also becomes clear in the discussion about formats such as "Germany’s Next Top Model". According to [now.de] (https://www.jetz.de/kino/nora-schirner-pricht-ueber-ihren-film-film-bist-bist-schoen- mediale-schoenheit- and-fatshaming), viewers voluntarily switch on, although the programs do not directly contribute to improving the situation. Such formats convey values such as "as you are, you are not enough", which increases beauty thinking in society.

beauty should not only be measured on physical characteristics, but also on inner satisfaction and character. A healthy self -image can lead to real satisfaction. Critics often judge strictly and need breaks to concentrate on the positive again.
