“Herr Karl”: Cabaret in the Faith Church

On Saturday, November 8th, the Protestant Faith Church will become the stage for the cabaret “Der Herr Karl”. The performance is directed by Andreas Vitásek, one of the two actors, and is part of the cultural events accompanying the commemoration of the November pogrom in 1938. Tickets are available in advance for 19 euros, while they cost 22 euros at the door. Admission to the performance begins at 7 p.m.

The cabaret is based on a piece by Helmut Qualtinger and Carl Merz, which is in its fifth season and addresses current social issues, including phenomena such as anti-vaccination activists and state objectors.
