Andreas Müller & Klaus Birk - HomeLändZack
Capitol Lichtspieltheater, Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany
32.5 €
Parody. Comedy. Cabaret. With Klaus Birk and Andreas Müller.
Two men, two dialects, one goal: explain the world - or at least the Ländle. Klaus Birk, Tübingen's cabaret grandmaster, and Andreas Müller, radio star and parody pro from Baden-Baden, pull off the impossible: mutual understanding across dialects - and beyond. They speak Swabian, Badensian, standard German, Länd, Bünd and European English (even if England has left the EU). And what do you know - they get each other! Without subtitles, even.
In HomeLändZack! they bring order to chaos - or at least a solid dose of chaos to order. With sharp wit and dry humour they dissect the skilled-worker shortage, healthcare policy and intergalactic migration strategies - because somewhere out there there's surely an alien with a completed vocational qualification. There's too much bureaucracy, but no specialists left to dismantle it. Traffic jams everywhere - because roads are being rebuilt to prevent future traffic jams. Special funds are raised - to hide special incompetence.
And suddenly animals are turning up everywhere: beavers, raccoons, wolves, lynxes, bullfrogs, flocks of crows and hares. What are they trying to tell us? Maybe: "You're not alone - we're right behind you - ready to bite you firmly in the backside".
Birk & Müller blend a sense of home with a view of the world, parody with poetry, chaos with insight. Because after one election comes the next, and whoever laughs last has at least understood.
HomeLändZack! Regional development aid. We don't get worked up. We stir things up. With heart, wit and a buttered pretzel.
