Olaf Schubert und seine Freunde
Jetzt oder now!

That a towering intellect like Olaf Schubert has an answer to every question is considered common knowledge. But now Schubert takes his next great leap. He asks questions. Important questions - like this one: "Jetzt oder now?". A question that itself raises questions. The fact that the snake ends up biting its own face in the process is entirely the artist's intention.

Almost as a side effect, he has created a show title with an international ring to it. This tells us that Schubert has become multilingual - if not outright bilingual. Having reached the very tip of the globalization iceberg, the whole world now lies before him.

And yet the exceptional artist stays true to his roots - he still plays concerts in Germany, not many, but around 745. This proves he has achieved what few manage: staying grounded despite enormous success. He wants to be an Olaf you can actually reach out and touch. Sadly, as he recently admitted to a major news magazine, almost nobody does.

On stage, Schubert reinvents himself completely - which is precisely why he remains exactly the same. He follows his own path without wavering, but he is not the type to cross red lines. No - he undermines them. Yellow lines, on the other hand, he simply jumps over. This allows him to shift boundaries, even invisible ones, in all directions at once.

How he pulls it off, he probably doesn't know himself. Watching him do it during the show is a spectacular thing, not least because a joke or two gets fired off along the way.

Almost everyone who has ever seen him live - his grandmother included - comes away deeply moved and says: Thank you, Olaf!

His friends Jochen M. Barkas and Herr Stephan are, of course, along for the ride as always.

Suitable from age 12
