Aliosha Biz - Local Tax

Directed by Omar Sarsam, after the surprising success of his first program "The Fiddler Without a Name," violinist and cabaret newcomer Aliosha Biz returns to the local cabaret stages with the program "LOCAL TAX." But what does "return" mean? He wasn't really gone. He seamlessly picks up where he just left off. His signature characters, such as the Eastern oligarch who advises an Austrian politician, or the Catholic priest from Burkina Faso who studied mechanical engineering in Petrozavodsk during his youth, are, of course, part of the journey. New to the mix are a strange philosopher who earns his living during the day at MA 48, and a disillusioned Cuban revolutionary who emigrates to Carinthia and wants to join the BZÖ. Whether all these characters will actually make it into the final version of the program, whether the local tax is merely what one pays in addition to the hotel bill during a summer vacation, and whether it can be settled solely with money will be revealed in the end. Maybe. There will, of course, still be music – after all, Aliosha has never stopped being a fiddler!
