Oti Schmelzer - "Lustig und ventil"

Lustig und ventil

"Live every day as if it were your last. Most problems sort themselves out - you just have to stop getting in the way."

Even if your teeth sleep in a separate room, that doesn't make you old. Complaining is the great national pastime right now - thinking never will be. If you think the glass is half empty, just pour it into a smaller glass and stop moaning. For women: complaining about men gets you nowhere, you have to learn to work with the material available. And for the men: I won't say a word, but what I'm thinking - it's grim.

This show covers everything that occupies the Franconian folk soul. Oti Schmelzer, the people's philosopher, lets historical and contemporary episodes drift across the stage in his inimitable style - accordion in hand or not. No matter how heavy the world feels, "it'll be alright" is his motto. Or, more precisely: Schackalacka.
