THE ISTER is a 3000km journey to the heart of Europe, from the mouth of the Danube river in Romania on the Black Sea, to its source in the German Black Forest inspired by a lecture course delivered by Martin Heidegger on Fredrich Hölderlin in Germany in 1942, the year the Nazis settled on the 'Final Solution'. The lecture course focused on a poem by Hölderlin: The Ister. Marrying a sweeping philosophical narrative with a classic European pilgrimage, THE ISTER invites its audience to participate in some of the most provocative questions of contemporary philosophy. These questions - of home and place, culture and memory, of technology and ecology, of politics and war beckon us now as they did Heidegger in 1942. |
