I Like Art and Art Likes Me Het Zuidelijk Toneel / Silke van Kamp

Joseph Beuys caused a sensation in the arts after the Second World War. He believed that every human being was an artist and could change the world through art. That is why he wanted to admit everyone to his classes at the art academy. Had Adolf Hitler, an aspiring painter who was rejected twice by the art academy, become a dictator? As a Nazi leader, Hitler relied heavily on art as a propaganda tool and labeled all art that did not convey the Nazi ideal as 'degenerate'. Besides being an artist, Beuys was also a political activist and co-founded the German Greens. In *I Like Art and Art Likes Me* , art is dragged out of its safe reserve and used to wage an ideological war.

Silke van Kamp is a sucker for rewriting stories. Last year, she caused a sensation with F*CK LOLITA , for which writer Annet Bremen rewrote the story of Nabokov's iconic novel heroine Lolita together with her. Now she is organizing a fictional encounter that could have changed the course of history if it had taken place!
