"I was surprised and upset to find out that the SH Landestheater was engaged in a fight for its survival. The wonderful SH Landestheater and its orchestra provides an incredible service to so a large area and population that it's hard to image Schleswig-Holstein without it. Art and culture cannot be considered as ancilliary to life. Since the beginning of mankind, we have always made art. It is as big a part of what it means to be human as eating and breathing. If we abandon culture and art, we are in essence abandoning hope for a civilized life. The SH Landestheater must be saved for the people of Schleswig Holstein."
