50 JAHRE MATHIAS RICHLING IM RENITENZTHEATER

Crime thriller atmosphere on the cabaret stage: Mathias goes to the crime scene in Berlin, but also on the international stage, to track down the roots of evil in politics and society with a detective's instinct. The perpetrators are known, but as in any crime thriller, the question arises as to whether the perpetrators are sometimes also victims. German politicians, but also Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, among others, are wanted in the new Richling program. But Richling also relentlessly analyzes the victim side: the voters who no longer know who or what to vote for; the taxpayers whose money ends up in the hands of terrorists via dark channels; the an-everything sticklers who lose sight of their goals...

Richling, who is celebrated by many critics as the best parodist on the German cabaret scene, brings his latest observations into literary form as always (there are already master's and doctoral theses on his texts). Author and SWR presenter Günter Verdin directs. One critic describes Richling's art of transformation as follows: "He doesn't even need a big mask to do it, the change of voice and posture and the use of a few gestures are enough to recognize who he is sketching and caricaturing through humorous and sometimes bizarre exaggeration."
