''Swiss-Swiss Democracy wants to go beyond Democracy; it is not a provocation. I am in revolt against the utilization of direct Democracy, I am in revolt against the absurdity of direct Democracy today in my country, Switzerland, and I am in revolt against the election of Christoph Blocher to the Federal Council.'' T. H.
"SWISS-SWISS DEMOCRACY wants to go beyond Democracy; it is not a
provocation. I want to hold seat with Marcus Steinweg, Gwenael Morin and
his theater company, at the Swiss Cultural Center for an 8 weeks period.
With this daily presence and
production, I want to de-idealize Democracy and destabilize democratic
good conscience. I am in revolt against the utilization of direct
Democracy, I am in revolt against the absurdity of direct Democracy today
in my country, Switzerland, and I am in revolt against the election of
Christoph Blocher to the Federal Council."
