Magdeburg, Germany
The Zwickmühle is Magdeburg's best-known political cabaret theatre, with roots going back to the 1950s. It stages satirical programmes that take aim at local, national and international affairs - performed in a small, intimate hall that seats only a few hundred guests. The venue has become a fixture of the city's cultural life and regularly sells out its runs.
The 60th programme of MAGDEBURGER ZWICKMÜHLE marks the venue's 30th birthday with a satirical tour through three decades of German politics, performed by Marion Bach, Heike Ronniger and Hans-Günther Pölitz.
Marion Bach and Heike Ronniger bring their eleventh joint cabaret show to Magdeburg - sharp political satire about frustration, absurdity and the lack of direction in contemporary Germany.
