Buschwerk - Storm-Proof Satires of Wilhelm Busch

Norbert Eilts presents with his Wortkino word theatre a refreshingly comic and melancholic journey through the life and work of Germany's greatest satirist. Wilhelm Busch's grotesque depiction of human malice and pettiness retains its unforgettable comic power. Yet despite the many witticisms in his art, life held no punchline for this Lower Saxon bearded humorist, caricaturist and cartoonist. His incomparable humour sprang from an existential grappling with the ambivalent nature of humanity, and it continues to provoke liberating laughter.
