Urban Priol - Im Fluss.

CABARET
URBAN PRIOL
IM FLUSS.

Im Fluss. Fresh every day, always up to date!

You can't step into the same river twice, said Heraclitus - all being is becoming. Think of Stuttgart 21 and you'll see the old Greek had a point.

"All being is becoming" - that's the conclusion Urban Priol regularly reaches when he sits down to write his press release just before the deadline.

Like a river in constant flux, his current show never stands still. With eagle eyes, the cabaret artist tracks the steady stream of political events - from the stagnant waters of the grand coalition, through the meandering trickle of the traffic-light government, to the intellectual shallows of the far-right swamp. Priol is always on the pulse of the moment, spontaneous and topical, often mocking faster than his shadow can think. He rumbles, thunders, flashes - and like a cleansing storm, leaves much bathed in a bright, cheerful light. Boundlessly, the master of parody ploughs through the night, cuts through complex connections and turns murky whirlpools into clear spring water. He throws himself into the waves of daily madness with relish, dives into the depths of the absurd, lampoons with gusto, and has just as much fun as his audience.

"Im Fluss." is like a rafting trip - racing over drops and past boulders through wild, foaming rapids. Come along! Follow the motto of another great Greek philosopher, Costa Cordalis: "Get in the boat tonight!" You won't regret it.
