Elevate's festival theme 2020 is "Human Nature". What's your second thought about it?

We are cyborgs.


And your first?

„We blew it.“ (Easy Rider)


Quo Vadis Humanity? In 2009 Elevate's main theme was the climate crisis. 10 years have passed. Whats your take on the next 10?

We need a revolution, get rid of capitalism.


The relationship of humans and technology - more reasons to be pessimistic or optimistic? Can you name some?

Technology makes us dumber, but live longer.


And our relationship with nature? Of course we are "part of it", but....where are we going?

Because we lost touch, nature gets angry. We have to ask for forgiveness.


"Psycho-spiritual crisis", "a psychotic society",... How bad is the status quo of humanity?

Joker is a big hit, even though the script has flaws.


A message to the Elevate Festival community? What can we do?

Read „Blitzed - Drugs in the Third Reich“.


Elevate features many amazing artists in the music & arts programme. Can we meet you on the Dancefloor too?

If you play the right music, why not.
