Benefit-banquet with rembetiko and Philosophy for Help for Refugees Basel
To bring CULTURESCAPES Greece to a close we invite you to a «convivial evening of drinking and intellectual conversation», according to the literal translation of Symposium. Following the example of the Platonic banquet, where at a richly laid table Phae-drus, Agathon and Socrates debated about «Eros» and the apparent contradiction of physical and spiritual love, Stavros Chrysafidis, after his two month long residency at the Markthalle Basel and Klara, will cook a multi-course meal in the Druckereihalle in the Ackermannshof, for the benefit of the Basler charity Help for Refugees. Niggi Ulrich will lead us through the evening and moderate philosophical, political and musical inputs. With contributions by Stefan Brotbeck and Suzann-Viola Renninger about love and a contribution by Sibylle Benz to her projects in Greece. Music by Conrad Steinmann (flute), Vassilis Varvaresos (piano) and Rembetiko with Paparouna.
