Antigone is furious. At a lecture on the European legal tradition, she has to spontaneously speak up and express her displeasure. The audience is confused. Romeo, in love, sneaks onto a summing-up lecture on economic and monetary reform as the perfect opportunity to confess his love to Juliet and interrupts. The Doctor, who asks his Woyzeck about the peas, is removed from the lecture on microplastics and thrown out of the hall. The respective dialogue partners do their part and answer on further lecture stages of different colors. An experimental discourse collage with unexpected bridges. A discourse about discourse. Sensual objections into the intellectual. Disruption as an expanding moment. What can art do in the field of knowledge. And what exactly not.

The video installation "Romeo vs. Juliet" is the current project of the duo Mailand/ Innenhof, the artistic collaboration of Günther Mailand (*1988 Ludwigsburg, lives and works in Leipzig) and Hans Innenhof (*1989 Augsburg, lives and works in Leipzig), existing since 2015. By means of actions and interventions in public spaces, the duo moves in an interdisciplinary way at the interface of visual and performing arts. They are particularly interested in theoretical questions of political economy, materialist social theory and aesthetics in capitalism.
