Around his production of THE HAMLET MACHINE, director Oliver Frljić and the philosopher and activist Srećko Horvat create a two-month interdisciplinary programme on Europe in the 20th and 21st centuries. The series of the Burgtheater events EUROPE MACHINE deals with the continent’s violent history and disturbing present across all genres – but not least with its positive perspectives. In various formats – discussions, readings, film screenings, performances and a conference – numerous guests from literature, science, art, and journalism will be invited to develop ideas for the future from a critical analysis of the past.
