Alfred Dorfer

In his current satirical one-man theatre, Alfred Dorfer slips elegantly into a wide variety of characters in rapid succession, as we have come to expect from him. In addition to grandmothers and landlords, we also get to see bears, carp and sunflowers. In "GLEICH", a story is told with numerous narrative and temporal digressions. Can we take what we see at face value? In any case: the time levels blur into one another, as do poetry and wordplay, philosophy and fantasy.
The satirist with a penchant for socio-political themes is unique in the German-speaking world with his characteristic form of presentation. The Viennese has benefited from his training in pantomime and acting. With sympathetic aplomb and a great deal of self-irony, Alfred Dorfer, as a precise observer of our everyday lives, takes aim at social trends as the rhetorical brother Leichtfuß. He plays amusingly and skilfully with his audience. Nothing and nobody is safe from his unexpected trains of thought.
Thought gymnast Alfred Dorfer is legendary for his acerbic humour and merciless gaze and has found his personal style through a characteristic form of presentation that many consider incomparable. This opinion was also shared by members of the jury for the German Cabaret Prize, the German and Bavarian Cabaret Prizes, with which he was honoured, as well as the Swiss Cabaret Prize Cornichon.
