Andreas Vitásek - Der Herr Karl

Currently as at the premiere! The cabaret legend Andreas Vitásek embarks on the ultimate horror show of Austrian atrocities – a must-see for all citizens! When stupidity becomes law, MR. KARL becomes a necessity! Whether it’s the resurrection of the neighborhood watch in disguise as hipster-Bobo-helicopter parents, anti-vaxxers, Kleinwalsertal fanboys (and girls), state refusers, or Ibiza minimizers – the list of Austrian atrocities is long and keeps getting longer. Who could be more fitting to poke at the wounds with his Viennese sausage fingers than MR. KARL, and who, if not Andreas Vitásek, should bring the eternal denouncer out of quarantine and onto the suburban stage? Even though the schilling had to give way to the euro and Facebook has long replaced the gossip column, there is still no shortage of turncoats and informers today – whether in online forums or at press conferences – Vienna remains Vienna! "That's not who we are. Or is it? MR. KARL is a tried-and-true navigation aid in the search for the Austrian soul. Times may change, but some things remain. Or, as Bertolt Brecht said: 'The womb still is fruitful, from which this crawled.'" (Andreas Vitásek)
