Jess Jochimsen - Von allen guten Geistern

Jess Jochimsen
VON ALLEN GUTEN GEISTERN
Cabaret. Songs. Slides.

Jess Jochimsen confronts the spreading mental and emotional glaciation with his distinctive blend of sharp political satire, beautiful songs, and hilarious slides.

"Have we been abandoned by all good spirits?" That seems to be the question facing us given the state of things. From Musk to Merz, we witness the return of wounded men, and while we watch in real time as autocrats in the West and East shred democracy, 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 cannot do the job? And capitalism, climate change, and bachelor parties are still here too.

But since despair is no solution, the multi-award-winning author and cabaret artist picks up his accordion, packs enough reason, solidarity, and equanimity, and prescribes himself optimism. Because: who or what exactly are these good spirits that abandon us? And why always all of them at once?

Searching for answers, Jochimsen wanders through suburbs and fairgrounds, pays homage to courtesy and other forgotten virtues, and promises an inspiring evening against the daily indignities. Relaxed. Funny. And hopelessly optimistic.

An evening without railings.
Celebrate as if there's a tomorrow!

Press: "Jochimsen is quirky, poetic, and keenly observant. [...] And what he finds is like his programme: tragedy and hilarious." (Frankfurter Rundschau)
