Description
Journalist and author Alice Hasters has been engaging with our Festival theme for a long time: the question of why we feel at home – and why not. In her most recent book, she sheds light on an »identity crisis«: the stories about who we are conflict in a complex present. At the opening in the Beethovenhalle, she reflects on ways out of such crises – and on how art and music can help shape an open home.
