Artists from different branches of the theatre network mitos21 began to devote themselves to issues surrounding European identity and its future in 2013. This project will now be continued in the form of a speech marathon devoted to this subject area at a location within the Großer Garten which will be designated as a “speakers’ corner”. Citizens of Hanover are also invited to participate with their own contributions. No applications are necessary for participation and no time limits will be placed on the lengths of the speeches. Material will be provided for participants to make posters to support their statements. There will be no censorship: as in Hyde Park, only the public incitement to violence is forbidden. Lectures by the members of mitos21 will be interspersed in improvised alternation with speeches by the public. Space for sitting, lying down and refreshment facilities will be provided.
