Cabaret

Admit it, you've just read "Power to the People" and have been singing John Lennon's wonderful song in your head. But this title is not a misprint, because Philipp Weber's cabaret piece is all about the little "booger", which according to the dictionary describes an "inconspicuous and pathetic little person". Yet it is actually the task of democracy to form the self-governing people, the sovereign sovereign, out of the isolated tiny people. But how quickly does the booger become the rabble? It is not only since yesterday that political scientists have been warning us that more and more Germans are becoming increasingly weary of democracy. How can that be? Isn't democracy the fairest of all forms of government, because only it can guarantee that citizens are not governed better than they deserve? According to unofficial surveys by the German government, 75 percent of Germans believe that three quarters of Germans are total idiots. But who is actually in charge here? The people, the rabble or the boogers?

The answer is simple: Philipp Weber. At a time when representatives of the people and shysters are praying about the crisis in bourgeois society, the cabaret artist practices the most valuable democratic virtue with his audience: humor. After all, aren't comedy, wit and esprit the most dazzling weapons of a defensible democracy? And those who can smile at their own thoughts and actions with the necessary irony will not fall victim to their own narrow-mindedness. True democrats primarily laugh at one thing: themselves. So join in the laughter and protect democracy!

Last time it was a problem to get tickets in advance with the Get2card Card because you have to pick them up beforehand. It is not possible to collect them on the evening of the performance. They refuse to do that. I will therefore avoid the theater. It is simply environmental pollution to go there once, pick up the tickets and then go back again to see the performance. Obviously they don't want guests with this discount in their house. Then just don't.
get2 comments: the offer description clearly states "Tickets only on sale - subject to availability". Unfortunately, it is not possible for ufaFabrik to reserve the tickets until the day of the event, as in the past some of the tickets were not collected and the organizer was left holding the tickets. Nevertheless, get2Card holders are always welcome at the ufaFabrik!

Beim letzten Mal war es schon ein Problem mit der Get2card Card hier Karten im Vorverkauf zu bekommen, weil man sie dann auch vorher abholen muss. Es ist nicht möglich, diese dann erst am Abend der Vorstellung abzuholen. Da weigert man sich. Daher werde ich das Theater meiden. es ist einfach Umweltverschmutzung einmal hinzufahren, die Karten abzuholen und dann noch mal hinzufahren und sich die Vorstellung anzuschauen. Offensichtlich möchte man keine Gäste mit dieser Vergünstigung in seinem Hause. Dann halt nicht.
get2 kommentiert: in der Angebotsbeschreibung ist klar deklariert "Tickets nur im Vorverkauf – Verfügbarkeit vorausgesetzt". Das die ufaFabrik die Karten bis zum Veranstaltungstag reserviert, ist leider nicht möglich, da in der Vergangenheit die Karten zum Teil nicht abgeholt wurden und der Veranstalter auf den Tickets sitzen geblieben ist. Dennoch sind get2Card-Inhaber in der ufaFabrik immer herzlich willkommen!
