Creative chaos as a mirror of politics

Whether « Bavaria celebrates » or « Bavaria Eiert » is still open after this Bundestag election – at least at the Politician deraille on the Munich Nockherberg. Because with the traditional Singspiel, the CSU This time with a big show your own election victory and the future chancellor Friedrich Merz (David Zimmerschied) to celebrate – and also find the right coalition partner. But somehow everything doesn't really work-including the crashing « F » at the « celebrates » lettering in the show decoration.

The result is a creative chaos on stage-this is probably also reflected in the challenge for the Singspiel author duo Stefan Betz and Richard Oehmann this year. Even during the rehearsals, the piece had to be rewritten almost every day to keep up with the rapid political development. A lot is currently in German politics – and thus also on the Nockherberg.

So Michaela Kaniber (Judith Toth) and Dorothee Bär (for the first time Double by Eli Wasserscheid) as an Upper Bavarian-Franconian women's power duo of the CSU through the wild stage show. « We at the Christian-Social Union work a lot with illusions, » explains Bär right from the start.

« Magic Markus » makes superfluous laws disappear in the Elvis costume

So « Magic Markus » Söder (Thomas Unger) in the Veitshöchheim Elvis costume makes superfluous laws disappear. « Humility comes from courage, » he also explains immensely-and gives the « demütiger ». The doppelganger Meanwhile, against Söder: « I become a chancellor and you post your break bread. »

The selected traffic lights Olaf Scholz (Nikola Norgauer), Christian Lindner (Christian Pfeil) and Robert Habeck (Thomas Limpinsel) also complain about their fate from the Nockherberg. Alice Weidel (Alida Will), as an apocalyptic hobbyhorse, cannot be tamed with sugar pieces by Friedrich Merz. And Saskia Esken (Natalie Hünig) gives the « show girl of the SPD for Frohsinn » in fun patterns (« Hallöle »).

« In the end it can be true that everyone swimming, no matter which party? », It is all about in the final song. But the solution is approaching – in the form of a huge cannon: « If we have to swim, why not in the money? » Doppelganger-Merz Keck. But what the whole borrowed coal for? No matter, says « Magic Söder »: « We flood the pool of possibilities with a trillion. »

Fasting preacher Schafroth: « Politics without a detour via the brain directly into the gut feeling »

« Politics without a detour through the brain directly into the gut feeling » had previously held Maxi Schafroth as a snappy fasting preacher of the political prominence gathered in the Paulaner Fests Hall. In contrast to the Singenspiel, which was characterized by federal politics, Schafroth especially read the Levites of the Bavarian state elite. Söder's ministerial team, for example, reminds him of his time as a valet, he stabbed: « Task: stand on the side and on command to the boss. »

CSU parliamentary group leader Klaus Holetschek gives « the cuddly » as a tactic against his own powerlessness, which « teases the Söder tribe teasing like an ivy ». Above all, Söder himself got his fat from Schafroth: « With you the choice slogan 'You know me' a completely different effect », he said to the CSU boss with a view to his « 180-degree turn at the debt brake »: « According to the motto, whoever believes that he has promised what I promised is to blame. »

And because Söder also had to « reluctantly give to Berlin », he lives as Ludwig II « after the humiliated monarch, so intensely that even the right beard grows overnight ». But Schafroth, Fasten preacher here since 2019, also struggled with the current world circumstances: « While I have to knock everything around with you all over the world, should I deal with you? »

A « lactose intolerant Allgäu » that has shot the wheel of time too quickly?

« Did we turn the bike too quickly? » He even asked self -critically – which already begins that not a « Gwamperter Mönch with an old Bavarian dialect », but a « lactose intolerant Allgäer, who does not take 60 kilos on the scales » at Nockherberg on the sermon. « Never before », like the recently, he « saw a combination of so much good intentions and skittling inability in the implementation ».

« It is not so easy to always hit the right tone, » he warned the assembled political prominence at the end of his sermon: « But not to look for him, I can't let that go. »
