Opening of the Legal Symposium

-
Erwin-Schrödinger-Saal
Plenary /
German and English language

”Counter” from Robert Prosser leads us in performance along the rhythms of voice, percussion and combat and into the very heart of boxing: not the clichéd myth, but the direct confrontation of two opponents – the standout experience that becomes possible in the ring.
