They are discontented, reject today’s social order, and have voted for the Right recently: young men. Hardly any other demographic contributes more to the rise of right-wing parties, both globally and here in Austria. After working with left-wing youth, Michiel Vandevelde, Pankaj Tiwari, and Eneas Prawdzic have immersed themselves in the opposite camp. The result is a confrontational and physical performance featuring five young men. They demand an end to liberal democracy and believe they will soon be in the majority. Violenza 2025 is a disturbing preview of what could happen if their predictions prove correct.
