Konfetti!

"The mad are multiplying, therapists are running short, and soon we'll run out of confetti too... Donate confetti, novelty items, and anything that can be turned into good cheer. A laughing bag costs just five euros and brings so much joy. Help now and you help twice over. Donate confetti!
Always show the inessential, the superficial, the unimportant. The other thing - the important thing - happens out of sight. You draw attention to the wrong place at the right time. And that's really all there is to it."

Ingrid Lausund deploys five archetypal characters and reaches into the bag of tricks: confetti flies like a smoke bomb, and the lazy magic by which populist leaders turn the trivial into the momentous, distract from real problems, and sow confusion is laid bare without mercy.

"Konfetti! - A Magic Evening for the Politically Bewildered" is a bracingly funny lesson in camouflage, deception, and counter-enlightenment in the global age.
