As the global liberal order ends, join rockstar philosopher Slavoj Zizek as he seeks signs of the world to come.

Erudite and comic, ironic and profound, philosopher Slavoj Zizek has travelled into territory where few of us dare to tread – and aged 77 he shows no signs of becoming less provocative.

As terrifying phenomena – economic wars, fascism, techno-feudalism, land grabs, planetary destruction and genocides – overwhelm us at every turn, Slavoj joins us to ask: What can we do to stem the flow of despair?

For Slavoj, the time has come not to look backwards to history for guidance, but for signs from the future hiding our present. Could it be that the realm of fortune tellers, star gazers and conspiracists is more predictable, knowable even, than we’ve allowed ourselves to think? From Gaza to Iran, Ukraine to the streets of Minneapolis and Venezuela to Sudan, we find unfathomable and brutal events that, without decisive action now, will remain our future.

This will be an evening of dark humor to help us survive in a dark era. Slavoj will remind us why he is widely known as the ‘most dangerous philosopher in the West’: but also prompt us to action, resistance, and the fragile possibility of hope. Don’t miss it.
