How art makes responsibility visible in times of hybrid wars

With Staging Evidence: Art in Times of Hybrid War, FFT Düsseldorf opens a focused, politically charged evening within the framework of Shift the Vibe that includes a keynote, performance lecture, and performative reflection. The work of Magda Szpecht directs attention to war crimes, human rights violations, and the question of what role art and theater can play in an era of digital disinformation.

An art experience between research, stage, and present

The short, precisely structured lecture performance condenses complex topics into an intensive examination of empathy, public space, and democratic perception. It is precisely the combination of theoretical thinking and artistic form that makes the atmosphere of this evening’s exhibition so special: Documented research, political urgency, and aesthetic experience encounter each other in close quarters.

Magda Szpecht: Theater as resistance, analysis, and contemporary art

Magda Szpecht, an award-winning director and author, works at the intersection of theater, journalism, and digital counter-propaganda. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, she has combined artistic means with activist practice in projects such as Cyber Elf, Spy Girls, and She Stands in the Middle of the Battlefield. Her works are acknowledged internationally and represent a form of contemporary art that brings together fact-checking, media criticism, and performative presence.

The evening is part of the festival Claiming Common Spaces and is thus embedded in a program that brings together encounter, conversation, performance, and collective experience. In the interplay between FFT and tanzhaus nrw, a space is created where contemporary art does not remain detached but makes political and social questions immediately tangible. For visitors, this provides a compact access to a current, international form of theater and discourse.
