In this series, the aim is not to train people out of saying ‘um...’ – it is actively sought!

What does a safer space for uncertainty look like? Is that possible on stage?

Zurich artist Fatima Moumouni is finally continuing her series of discussions, ‘The New Uncertainty’! In it, moments of conversation that are allowed to be thoughtful, self-critical and decidedly insecure are brought to the stage – guests and moderator are equally unsettled. And then they reflect together publicly, because when it comes to progressive discourse – almost by definition – there is still much to think about, beyond the pitiful WHAT CAN YOU EVEN SAY TODAY?

The theme of this issue: ‘Love’
This issue explores big questions about the nature of love in the world: What exactly is true love? And will it save us all? What does it actually mean to love ‘against society’ – for example, between people who occupy very different positions in society? What does love have to do with access? How much of our private lives do we share in the political sphere? And can we simply enjoy ourselves?

Guest in this edition: Kübra Sekin
Kübra Sekin is a presenter, actress and performer. She works from a disabled, queer and migrant perspective and campaigns for the inclusion and visibility of people with disabilities on social media, on stage and in public spaces.

As an actress, she has appeared in productions such as ‘Pauline’ (Disney+), ‘Malibu’ (ZDF), ‘Blindgänger’ (cinema) and ‘Die Anstalt’ (ZDF). She has hosted numerous cultural events, award ceremonies and specialist conferences, and contributed to the books ‘Angry Cripple’ and ‘Bist du behindert oder was?’.
