Becoming Equal

Rosa Mucignat

Why is there so much global inequality? What would an equal society look like? What do the terms liberty and equality mean to you today?

Cine Lumiere II

Join us to explore the ‘Manifesto of Equals’ (1796), a founding text of anarchist, socialist and communist revolutions, through translation, a short film, and an interactive discussion. Award-winning translator Cristina will lead a mini-masterclass on how to translate the Manifesto from its original French, based on a new translation made by students from around Europe, and invite the audience to experience and reflect on the act of translating, as well as respond with their own interpretations. Everyone can take part, even if they don’t know French. This will be followed the ca. 15 min film “Writing on the Sand”, by members of the French theatre collective<a href="https://laphenomena.fr/compagnie/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> La Phenomena</a>. Inspired by this translation and the Manifesto’s call for radical equality, the film – also a collaboration with students – recounts a struggle for collective ideals constantly hindered by the entropy of everyday life.
