Invitation to a Birthday Party for Charles Darwin
12 February 2009
On 12 February 2009 he would have turned 200. To get to know him better, we are showing the docudrama “Charles Darwin – The Devil’s Chaplain?” (“Charles Darwin – Kaplan des Teufels?”) by Eike Schmitz and Susanne Utzt on Thursday, 12 February 2009 at 8 pm.
Afterwards, a number of important questions facing humankind will be settled. (Darwin’s question of whether earthworms are musical will be put to the test in this context.) However, it is not the law of the strongest that applies, but the Highway Code.
(The compulsory wearing of hats is waived for once, but dress appropriate to the occasion is welcome.)
Please bring neither candles nor earthworms.
Note:
The subject has been approached with deliberate irony here, as the artists wished to convey the serious point of the matter in an unconventional way.
