Volkmar Staub - Laughing means showing teeth

Ridiculing the powerful and laughing with the powerless - that is cabaret as Volkmar Staub understands it. Of course, it is also about the usual suspects of daily politics and the emerging militarized new world order. Turbo capitalism is racing around the globe at excessive speed and with excellent networking. Is the digital journey only ever going downhill? Or will ever-improving human technology save us? AI or IQ - who will have the upper hand?
He who laughs shows his teeth. Possibly as a forewarning that you could also knock your teeth into the victims. Cabaret is the culturally sublimated devouring of prey. And our current affairs are found food.
Those who are funny and have mastered the weapon of the word do not lash out and shoot. We satirists are just a punchline-hitting combination. Fun preachers against hate preachers.

From the stage, from above, Staub calls out to us all: Laugh up, stupid people of this world!
