Das Festmahl der Semele

Semele, daughter of the goddess Harmonia and mother of the god Dionysus, organises a feast to which she invites people from different eras. Plato, Ignatius of Loyola, Nietzsche, Schiller, Johanna Schopenhauer, Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, Freud, Paula Fichtl and Marilyn Monroe are invited.

Philosophers usually deal with the existential thoughts of their time. Does God exist? What is it that we call the soul and why do we need others to be happy? Questions that have not only moved poets and artists for centuries. They will be re-examined at this extraordinary feast where time and space play no role. What is usually discussed abstractly in philosophy books is discussed here in a lively and controversial way over wine and bread.
