Sarah Bosetti - Make Democracy Great Again! - Words Against the End of the World

Make Democracy Great Again!
Words Against the End of the World

What do an AfD voter and a climate activist have in common? The fear that the world as we know it is going to collapse. So much for a divided society! Whether you're on the right or the left, an "old white man" or a young "woke" woman, a cargo-bike enthusiast or an anti-vaxxer - we're all united by our fear of a bleak future.

But Sarah Bosetti has no interest in fear and gloom. She has a better idea. If we don't like the future being painted for us, we should paint a nicer one and work towards it. If nobody wants democracy anymore, we shouldn't give up on it - we should make it better.

"Make Democracy Great Again!" is a funny, sharp and rousing plea for saving democracy. Bosetti gives politicians communication coaching, invents the most creative fake news, writes thoughtful protest signs, and explains why being able to get off the sofa is actually a privilege.

Sarah Bosetti is a satirist, author, poet and reluctant feminist. She has received numerous awards including the Grimmepreis, the Deutschen Fernsehpreis, the Deutschen Kleinkunstpreis, the Joachim-Ringelnatz-Preis für Lyrik and the Dieter-Hildebrandt-Preis. She writes and hosts the monthly late-night show "Bosetti Late Night" (3sat), the weekly satire format "Bosetti will reden!" (ZDF) and the extra3 podcast "BosettisWoche" (NDR), and regularly tours across the German-speaking world.

"Well, if it all falls apart one day... it won't be Sarah Bosetti's fault." - Marc-Uwe Kling
"Sarah Bosetti has developed a form of cabaret and satire unlike anything seen before." - Jury Dieter-Hildebrandt-Preis
