Christiane Rösinger/HAU

Venue: HAU1

With “Die große Klassenrevue,” Christiane Rösinger brings a modern agitpop revue to the stage that questions today's class relationships with music and humor. Together with experts and a band, she unmasks the myth of the middle class, addresses social inequality and talks about exit instead of advancement.

In 1924, Erwin Piscator's proletarian “Revue Roter Rummel” premiered in front of an enthusiastic working audience in Berlin. More than 100 years later, musician and author Christiane Rösinger brings a contemporary agitpop revue to the stage, which sheds light on today's class relations through the unscrupulous use of all acting options. Seven experts and one band deconstruct the “middle class myth” and the fashion term “classism,” refute the persistent legend of advancement through achievement and education, provide therapeutic help for left-wing hereditary shame and share with the audience the rich experiences of precarious life. Exit stories instead of promotion stories! The authors Stefanie Sargnagel and Paula Irmschler as well as well-known collaborators from the successful productions “City under Influence” and “Planet Egalia” will be there.
