Philipp Schaller from the Herkuleskeule Dresden "You me too!"
In his own, hilariously wicked way, the artistic director of the Dresden Herkuleskeule, performer and author of many programs, shows: There is no simple view of the world - there are always two sides. This is political cabaret that is not banal and applause-seeking sabre-rattling, but rather pointedly wields a fine satirical foil. The fact that he strives to do justice to different perspectives also brings him contradiction and criticism - from those who do not like to accept opinions other than their own - regardless of whether they are on the left, right, across or in the green command post. "But that in particular is a distinction and a unique selling point," recently enthused MDR Kultur, for example. Philipp Schaller mocks the hypocrisy of the so-called enlighteners. This evening is a friendly, bitterly angry reckoning with social impositions, the armament mania, the denunciation of dissenters and a media landscape that demands diversity everywhere, just not diversity of opinions. The audience is delighted: yes, heavy political fare can sometimes be served that easily ...
No, Philipp Schaller doesn't berate "those up there", he takes aim at himself: ruthless and highly comical!
