THe power of the Enlightenment - WALKING WITH KANT
Hendrik Aerts as Kant
The Power of Enlightenment – Walking with Kant
Einstein Forum Potsdam
August 24 to September 25, 2024
To mark the 300th anniversary of Immanuel Kant’s birth year, the Einstein Forum will present an installation by the artists Saskia Boddeke and Peter Greenaway. The Power of Enlightenment – Walking with Kant will run from August 24 to September 25 in the historic orangery on the grounds of Potsdam’s Neuer Garten park. The celebration will also include three international conferences and a host of theater and music performances.
At the center of the program is The Power of Enlightenment – Walking with Kant. Boddeke and Greenaway use their characteristically immersive, opulent, and multimedia-inflected language to comment on Kant’s demand that we use reason to guide our actions. The Einstein Forum invites the public to think about Kant’s most important philosophical ideas amid artistic impressions of light, sound, and movement.
