URBAN PRIOL - Im Fluss, täglich frisch

You can't step into the same river twice, said Heraclitus - all being is becoming. Think of Berlin's airport saga and you'll agree the old Greek had a point.

"All being is becoming" - Urban Priol reaches this conclusion regularly when he sits down to write his own press release just before the deadline. His new show is like a river in constant flux. The cabaret artist keeps a sharp eye on the unrelenting current of political events, even if Germany's grand-coalition politics of recent years felt more like a reservoir than a flowing stream.

Priol is always on the pulse of the moment - spontaneous and topical, he often fires off a quip faster than his own shadow can think. He grumbles, thunders, and flashes - and then, like a cleansing storm, leaves many things looking surprisingly bright.
