ANGELALAND
A piece of contemporary history with specially selected music
Juliane Hendes

Angela Merkel brought together what could not be together. Sometimes what didn't even want to be. Even within herself. She was the country. The whole country. "Our" Angelaland. Karl-Konrad will place this famous Angela at the centre - his and ours. He will let the historical events pass in review, while asking: what has become of us Germans, and what remains? "The thought of Angela Merkel brings a sense of security." Or does it? This will be a reckoning. Angela was always there with us, after all. Do you remember the world in which our Angela took care of our problems? The fisherman from Stralsund will deliver a pointed settling of accounts - he knew her, drank wine with her, laughed with her, and knows exactly what a funny person Angela is. From the perspective of society's margins, the author lets Karl-Konrad trace the path of "our country" to the here and now. In the end, one question remains, reaching further than any chancellorship: who are we now, and what do we make of it?

For everyone aged 14 and over who wants to experience history with a wink toward the future - toward our "later" - and stop kidding themselves.
