Die SchMERZtherapie - Kabarett-Theater DISTEL

What a mess the voters have made! How do you build a government out of a result like that? Sure, a grand coalition is always an option - but even those have rarely run smoothly in the past. How do you govern together when the culture of debate in the high house is practically underground? The Bundestag president sentences three MPs to stay after class. Listening exercises, trust-building, trying to see things from the other side. The new government is supposed to be a love match, not a shotgun wedding.

But who can actually work with whom? Grand coalition, Jamaica, traffic light or blackberry coalition? What colour combinations are even possible in the newly elected Bundestag? Are the firewall barriers solid concrete or just lightweight panels?

In SchMERZtherapie, politicians, service staff, moderators and historical figures all collide - debating and probing who is friend and who is foe. At some point, time even starts running backwards. Until someone cries - and it might just be the therapist.
