Volkmar Staub - Ausbaden

A separatist satirade

Who has always had to pay the price throughout history? We from Baden!
The Alemanni - the people after whom the entire Federal Republic is called Allemagne or Alemania abroad - are a perpetually underestimated, overlooked folk on the southwestern fringe of Germany. Volkmar Staub puts his home corner of South Baden under the microscope as a case study in German sensibility during the first quarter of the 21st century. What does a Badenian do in the world, and what does the world do to a Badenian? Alemanne or Globalemanne? - that is the question.

A cabaret evening about identity, the obsession with belonging, and the search for meaning. At the same time, an absurd gallop through Baden's history - from the proto-Alemanni in the Havel marshes to cuckoo-clock Alemanni in a Venezuelan mountain village, from the revolutionary jesters' parade of 1848 to the march on Moscow under Napoleon - told with pace, cunning, and shamelessly plausible tall tales.

Volkmar Staub pursues the 3 most important philosophical questions that drive every Alemanne: Where do we come from? Where are we going? And above all: What are we drinking with it?

A heady political-satirical delirium - intoxicated by sheer delight!
