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!
