Christiane Rösinger / HAU – Die große Klassenrevue

In the organizer's words:

With "Die große Klassenrevue", Christiane Rösinger brings a modern agitpop revue to the stage that uses music and humor to question today's class relations. Together with experts and a band, she debunks the myth of the middle class, addresses social inequality and tells of dropping out instead of rising up.

In 1924, Erwin Piscator's proletarian "Revue Roter Rummel" celebrated its premiere in front of an enthusiastic working-class audience in Berlin. More than 100 years later, musician and author Christiane Rösinger brings a contemporary agitpop revue to the stage that illuminates today's class relations with the unscrupulous use of all the possibilities of acting. Seven experts and a band deconstruct the "myth of the middle class" and the fashionable term "classism", refute the persistent legend of advancement through achievement and education, provide therapeutic help for left-wing hereditary shame and allow the audience to share in the rich experiences of a precarious life. Exit stories instead of stories of advancement! The writers Stefanie Sargnagel and Paula Irmschler as well as well-known comrades-in-arms from the successful productions "Stadt unter Einfluss" and "Planet Egalia" will be taking part.
