Olaf Schubert and his Friends
Now or now!

That a thinker of Olaf Schubert's calibre knows the answer to every question is common knowledge. But now Schubert is taking the next big step. He asks questions. Important questions, like - "Now or now?". In other words, a question that questions itself. That his tail bites his face in the process is precisely the artist's intention.

Almost casually, he created a programme title with an international ring to it. This shows us that Schubert is by now multilingual - if not bilingual. At the very top of the globalisation iceberg, the whole world lies open before him.
Yet he remains true to us, because he also gives concerts in Germany - not many, but roughly 745. This proves he has achieved what only a few manage: to stay down to earth despite gigantic success.
He wants to be an Olaf you can touch. Unfortunately, hardly anyone does, as he recently confessed to a major news magazine.
On stage, Schubert reinvents himself completely once again, and that is precisely why he remains exactly the same. He follows his path consistently, but he is not one to cross red lines. No - he undermines them.
Yellow lines, however, he jumps over. This enables him to shift boundaries, even invisible ones, in all directions at once.

How he manages this, he probably doesn't know himself. But watching him do it during his show is a grand fascination, because even this or that absurdity gets detonated in the process.

That is why almost everyone (even his grandmother) who has ever seen him live simply says, deeply moved: Thank you, Olaf!

His friends Jochen M. Barkas and Mr. Stephan are, of course, with him as always.
