Gauting - How beneficial it is in times of ever new superlatives to listen to someone who has still kept his feet on the ground: Over the years, the cabaret artist Christian Springer has matured into a kind of “demythologizer from service”, into one who knows cast-iron supposed truths Asks a question that turns the neoliberal sounding old saying “The early bird catches the worm” into reverse and writes the fundamentally nervous self-optimizers in the studbook: “The late worm fools the bird.” So take a deep breath, you hectic people - it's all half as wild !
"Busy! 35 years of cabaret "was chosen by the man from the Munich railway workers' quarter Berg-am-Laim as the working title of his bosco guest performance, which has been postponed over and over again due to the coronavirus. Experience the musing of this great disenchanter, who opposes the big-headed and the wide-legged of this world with his indomitable defiance. Springer's keynote is that of a gentle, all the more persistent relativization, his core narrative that of the imperfection of human beings: "What did we choose?" of the voter, nicely currently bundled in the statement Habemus Habeck!In the course of the evening you will see Springer constantly tigering across the stage and watch him wrestle with things, almost physically turning them back and forth: Whether we have “become smarter, more relaxed because of Corona”? Not necessarily, says the lecturer and mentions players' women as indicators of increased intelligence. The real victims of the pandemic are the burglars anyway - because everyone is always at home and the grandpa now even populates the basement with his model railway.The real victims of the pandemic are the burglars anyway - because everyone is always at home and the grandpa now even populates the basement with his model railway.The real victims of the pandemic are the burglars anyway - because everyone is always at home and the grandpa now even populates the basement with his model railway.
At such moments, Springer shows that in “real” life, too, he looks at those who hardly anyone else has an eye on: This time he is promoting his aid to Syria, which has existed for ten years, but he does not fail to mention that he has two Flies to Beirut times a month. He was even there with fire fighters from Gauting, they had donated a vehicle that was discarded in Germany, but still functional, which is now helping to save human lives: "That was a moving moment," says Springer, pausing for a moment, looking at the ground Program.
His humanism has always been highly consistent and not just verbal: because of the former egg-throwing of Franz-Josef Strauss, who was actually hardly to be missed (the raw eggs went wrong and allegedly met Gerold Tandler), the young student in Munich was refused a degree in Arabic studies. A career as a cabaret artist was thus presumably mapped out, the biographical break and possibly deep-seated intellectual phantom pain perhaps also: “We're no good, can't do anything, don't want anything. There is so much hope in us, but why do you think we chose a job that doesn't start until eight o'clock? ”He says, slightly sarcastic. On this occasion, he also does away with the pious lie that the artist lives from applause: “We live from money!“And then it continues with the shaking of all the self-pleasing certainties: The bicycle - an invention from the Stone Age. The beer tent - basically a legacy of the Turks before Vienna from 1683. The bad performance of the Union - there was no beer tent election campaign due to Corona. And: “The Bavarian Alps were not raised by the CSU!” Yes, the Bavarian is a Syrian by his roots anyway. Springer works with facts against myths that have become stone, but if necessary he also constructs in an ingeniously entertaining, absurd way when the facts sometimes still have to be straightened out. The monstrous story of the monastic fasting with fish, in which the abbot baptizes a fat pig with the name "carp". Very detailed the history of the "German" national anthem,which in truth goes back to a Croatian love song - Springer's balance sheet after all the hollow pathos and behavior: "Better to shut up and play better!"
When he has got people off their pedestals again, he reminds the bosco audience towards the end of the evening in good Bavarian language: "Culture means keeping together." Springer's constant appeal to tolerance is not to make any distinction between people, who may make their way to us as refugees: "Be a little nice to them - the relatives are coming!" He even told Seehofer about this in a letter, 80 pages long.
This is how books are made.
Habemus Springer!
