ONKel fISCH "Hoffnung - ein Serviervorschlag"

ONKeL fISCH call themselves the standard-bearers of hope in the German satire scene - and their motto is: there's always time to despair later. Complaining about everything is just too easy: climate change, war, the AfD, Donald Trump, or Germany's latest entry at the Eurovision Song Contest. Many people feel they're already standing at the edge of the abyss. Maybe - but the view from the edge is famously the best.

Whether the glass is half full or half empty doesn't really matter. What counts: we have something to drink! The duo spreads their message with fun, singing and dancing - sometimes at Germany's pace, sometimes in slow motion. Heiner Müller once said that optimism is merely a lack of information. ONKeL fISCH add: so is pessimism.

Modern cabaret that'll have you rolling in the aisles, somewhere between expectation and attitude.
