Presented by Alexander Nym (Germany)The Jewish mystical tradition of the Quabbala is a somewhat riddled source of inspiration for contemporary artists. From literature to film, “QBL” has left a trace of hints and references, and especially so in the world of (alternative) pop music. Cultural theorist Alexander Nym explores the usage of quabbalistic references in recent contemporary music production, from Leonard Cohen to Current 93, from David Bowie to The Cassandra Complex, and from Madonna to Zero Kama.
Part of the Gothic Identity Lecture Series
During the 31st Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Gothic Identity will organize a series of lectures and discussions in English, that will focus on several aspects of the gothic identity including its history, the use of political or spiritual symbolism, and the deeper artistic concepts. We are happy to announce a new, larger location for this year, conveniently close to the Pagan Village and the Agra. Free entry with a WGT wristband.
