To mark Kaaitheater’s thirtieth anniversary we are holding two colloquia: one on the historical concept of the ‘avant-garde’ and whether the term is still of any relevance (22/9) and one on the artist and his relationship with society (29/9). These two afternoon events comprise talks, statements and debates.
