Mensch, du hast Recht! – ein Konzert in 30 Artikeln

Who knows all 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Who still believes in its power and effect today? Who hears them, listens to them and makes them heard? What do they sound like and where are they?
The group «Matterhorn Productions» around director Ursina Greuel seeks a musical approach to the utopia of human rights. A utopia that once managed to unite countries and stand up together for more humanity in the world. A utopia in which fewer and fewer people believe. A utopia that becomes more necessary every day. A utopia that needs new strength. A utopia that is worth listening to, integrating into everyday life and never letting go.
«Mensch, du hast Recht!» is a quiet and tender evening that touches in its vulnerability and at the same time gives strength.
