VON ALLEN GUTEN GEISTERN

Jess Jochimsen takes on the creeping freeze of minds and hearts with his own blend of sharp political satire, achingly beautiful songs and hilariously funny slides.

"Have we taken leave of all our senses?" That's the question the current state of affairs seems to demand. From Musk to Merz, we're watching the return of aggrieved men, and while you can watch in real time as autocrats East and West shred democracy, back home the smallest grand coalition in history is throwing a 90s party on credit. Was it really wise to elect a chancellor who proves almost daily that he's not up to the job? And capitalism, climate change and stag parties are still very much around...

But since despair isn't a solution, the award-winning author and cabaret artist picks up his accordion, packs enough reason, solidarity and composure, and prescribes himself optimism. Because: who or what exactly are these good spirits that keep leaving us? And why always all of them at once?

In search of answers, Jochimsen wanders through suburbs and fairgrounds, pays tribute to politeness and other forgotten virtues, and promises an uplifting evening against the ongoing absurdities. Laid-back. Funny. And hopelessly hopeful.

An evening without a safety rail.

Celebrate as if there's a tomorrow!
