Drei Mal links ist rechts
In English language with German surtitles.
In their new performance, Studio Julian Hetzel asks: How do we coexist with those whose beliefs are worlds apart from our own? “Drei Mal links ist rechts (Three lefts make one right)” focuses on a couple at odds. Torn between conflicting beliefs, they embody the challenge of living together under irreconcilable ideologies. A family portrait that magnifies the fractures of society.
„I love to hate you. I hate to love you.“
A performance that takes you along a political Möbius strip. What if your moral compass shifts? What if you think right but act left—or the other way around? What happens when polarization becomes so extreme we can no longer tell the difference?
This performance is an invitation for the audience to explore ideological conflicts in which violence is normalised. “Drei Mal links ist rechts (Three lefts make one right)” turns theater into a space for speculation to stage an unsettling future scenario. Everything has an end – but a sausage has two.
“Drei Mal links ist rechts (Three lefts make one right)” will premiere on 17.05.2025 at the Wiener Festwochen and will subsequently be shown in Leipzig and Utrecht (SPRING festival).

Julian Hetzel is a performance maker, musician and visual artist. He develops works on the interface of theatre, music and media with a political dimension and a documentary approach. At Residenz, he recently co-produced the pieces “All Inclusive” (2018), “Mount Average” (2021 / 22) and, together with Ntando Cele, “SPAfrica” (2023).
Trigger warning: Three Times Left is Right by Studio Julian Hetzel is a radical, provocative, funny, ambiguous piece about polarisation. An unorthodox family portrait that functions as a magnifying glass for society. Can we live together with people whose beliefs are diametrically opposed to our own?
