HYPOTHETICALS #4 REVOLUTION & EVOLUTION

An Aarhus 2017 Commission
THE HYPOTHETICALS
Presented by Aarhus 2017 with Clement Kjersgaard

Revolution and evolution - About change. 

We love innovation and revolt, we cherish all the rebels and the people who "break the limits" and "think outside of the box". At the same time, we are astounded when things ACTUALLY do change. 
We have invited national and international thinkers to examine the theme "Revolution and Evolution", and discuss what real change is, and where it should stem from. 
Join in when Margrethe Vestager, Lone Frank, Vincent F. Hendrick, Lina Ben Mhenni and many others take the stage at Aarhus Theatre. The day is moderated by Clement Kjersgaard. 

We will break with tradition and start Monday 27 November at 2pm. 
Give your everyday a shake up and broaden your horizon with 6 hours of thought provoking talks and debates. 
Café Hack will be serving warm revolution soup for everyone during the break. 

Price: 300 kr. (incl. food)
