Forum Burgenland – 1st edition

THE AGE OF LESS – IS LESS THE NEW MORE?

This was the topic of the 1st edition of Forum Burgenland, part of the new umbrella brand Burgenland. The umbrella brand tries to establish Burgenland, one of the beautiful regions in Austria, outside of Austria as a region that stands for clever growth. Including ideas of young entrepreneurs, artists, residents and many more people who live here.

In the mid of April 2015 I was asked to hold a speech of five minutes fitting to the topic of THE AGE OF LESS, on the 30th of April in Raiding.

The speech was part of a contest for young ideas.

This is a creation of Caroline and Eva-Maria Biribauer, April 2015

In the first place I wanted to create a performance together with my sister Caroline Biribauer, who is an architect and entrepreneur.
We wanted to show two very different personalities, one who is calm, the other who is outrageous, constantly aiming for more and more and more. After the breakdown follows the gnosis, reduction, contemplation and cooperation.

But reality overwhelmed us and we didn´t have the time to rehearse. Caroline told me she wouldn´t come.
So I decided to go alone.

My plans changed and I left away the performance. I left away everything and decided to come very simple, as only myself. I decided not to be part of the contest and not to be judged by the audience, since I find daily judgement one of the biggest problems of society.
So I spoke about freedom, which is to be found outside of our evalutation system.

Freedom as the highest achievable goal.

Freedom bigger than love.

Freedom, nothing else.
