19.09.2025 – 25.09.2025
The second edition of the Dachstein Dialogues is dedicated to the theme ‘Who belongs to us?’ The international festival for tolerance opens up spaces for encounter and exchange with around 20 events. The discussion formats, plays, lectures, concerts and school projects in Filzmoos and Ramsau am Dachstein deal with belonging and exclusion, community and society, migration and otherness, self-images and projections, but also solidarity and inclusion. The opening speech will be given by the writer Eva Menasse, one of the most important and incisive voices of her generation, who repeatedly reflects on belonging, identity and memory in her literary and essayistic work. Other expected guests include Raoul Schrott, Ebrahim Afsah, Judith Kohlenberger, Maja Haderlap, Solmaz Khorsand, Shila Behjat and Cornelius Obonya, with musical accompaniment provided by Reinhard Latzko and Anton Gerzenberg, among others. On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the Peasants’ Wars, which marked the beginning of two centuries of religious violence, exclusion and expulsion in the region and whose consequences continue to shape coexistence today, the Dachstein Dialogues facilitate an exchange in a historical and philosophical context. After an eventful past, Filzmoos and Ramsau now stand side by side and want the festival to be a model for respectful exchange and diverse coexistence.
