Alter Ego

KARL, UDO, FRIEDRICH, ANDRÉ AND I
Cabaret solo by and with Thomas Müller
Directed by: Stephan Reher

Are we already living in Udo Lindenberg's colourful German Republic, now that twelve-year-old girls greet each other with "Ey Alter!"? Does it, like everything else, have to do with sex and Freud when we're pleased that as Frederick the Great we can say things that otherwise only Thilo Sarrazin might say? Have we arrived in Europe because our most famous German is a Frenchman by choice and our favourite violinist is Dutch? And if politics leads to me being beside myself and no longer knowing who I am - does that make me a split personality?

I don't know. I need to ask myself all these questions!

Thomas Müller has been appearing alongside Hans-Günther Pölitz for two Zwickmühle programmes. Here he performs solo - and shows more of his characters. Müller's Alter Ego, plain and simple.
