The university newspaper zwoelf in the winter semester 2024/25: in a new look and new format - on the topic of "foreign"

"A stranger is only a stranger in a strange place," replies the pupil Max to his teacher in the lesson invented by the Munich comedian and actor Karl Valentin in 1940. The curious and absurd nature of the scene and its wordplay acrobatics alludes to the universal experience of otherness, the exclusion of others and the search for identity. Not only in social contexts, but also in artistic processes, foreignness leads to irritation and inspiration. The essays in the thematic section fremd der zwoelf examine this from the perspectives of philosophy, diversity and theater theory as well as a look back at musical romanticism.

We also dedicate a special focus as a SPECIAL to the pop course, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary. As usual, you will find portraits of new female professors who will be teaching at the university from the winter semester 2024/25: Miriam Dreysse is setting up the new teaching degree course in theater, Jutta Toelle is teaching in musicology. From the HfMT's, as always, varied repertoire, we recommend the five productions by music theater directing students, who will present their final production this semester as part of the junges forum Musik + Theater series.
