Cabaret with Alfred Dorfer

In "GLEICH," Alfred Dorfer, a master of satirical art, once again demonstrates his unique ability to blur the lines between reality and fantasy. What initially feels like a classic one-man play quickly reveals itself to be an intense and absurd playground of thoughts, where Dorfer juggles a variety of characters, narrative threads, and time levels. "GLEICH" is a piece that cannot be easily categorized. From the grandmother to the innkeeper to the bear – Dorfer slips into various roles in the blink of an eye, as if he has never done anything else. However, "GLEICH" is more than just a collection of characters and quirky moments. It is a confrontation with time and reality itself, a piece that raises questions and continually makes the audience doubt. Can we truly take what we see at face value? Or is it merely a fiction spun by Dorfer that subtly holds up a mirror to us? With training in pantomime and acting, Dorfer masterfully masters the art of facial expression and body language. Yet it is his sharp-witted dialogues and precise word choice that make him a true master of satirical art. Throughout, Dorfer has continually developed his own narrative style, thereby carving out a distinct voice in the German-speaking world. His art is a blend of absurd humor, philosophical thoughts, and deep reflection on society. The "thought gymnast," as he is often called, makes precise turns between the lines, keeping his audience oscillating between laughter and contemplation. In combining a keen eye, intelligent satire, and physical expressiveness, Dorfer has developed a unique style that many find incomparable and singular. Alfred Dorfer is one of the most prominent figures in the German-speaking cabaret and theater scene. In a world characterized by fast-paced trends and superficialities, Dorfer remains true to himself and his sharp-witted humor. What makes him unique is not only his ability to pinpoint what many others overlook but also the way he transforms his observations into art.
