Schauspielhaus Zurich: Rudolf comments on ideology gossip
“I distance myself from the abridged presentation of my statements in the local media,” said Rudolph in an interview with the Tamedia newspapers. According to media reports, last week he complained about the suppression of political opinions that he did not like at the Schauspielhaus, many were reluctant to represent their views. It was about changes to institutions in the entire German-speaking area, not just in Zurich, said Rudolph in an interview published on Friday.
With his statements he also wanted to shake up those who would be afraid to speak out. They should get out of the corner and face the discourse, Rudolph said. “I welcome the discourse of opening up to people who previously had too little space and representation.”
Yuvviki Dioh understands that such processes can be unsettling. “If you want to make marginalized positions visible, that also means something for the privileged position,” said the communication scientist. People might be afraid of saying or doing something wrong. “Sensitization is a difficult and also painful process.” However, it is crucial to develop an understanding of one’s own role in the social environment.
