VON ALLEN GUTEN GEISTERN

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

"Have we taken leave of all our senses?" That's probably the question of the moment. From Musk to Merz, we're watching the return of the aggrieved man, while autocrats East and West shred democracy and the smallest grand coalition in history throws 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.

Because despair isn't a solution, the award-winning author and cabaret artist picks up his accordion, packs reason, solidarity and composure, and prescribes himself optimism. In his search for answers, Jochimsen wanders through suburbs and fairgrounds, pays tribute to politeness and other forgotten virtues. An evening without a safety rail - laid-back, funny and hopelessly hopeful.
