Instructions for destroying a democracy
What happens when satire becomes power? Klara Milkowski is witty, clever – and dangerous. After a media scandal, the celebrated stand-up comedian loses her television show and becomes an overnight icon of "freedom of speech."

PUTSCH
What begins as a personal retaliation develops into a political avalanche: Klara rises to become the chancellor candidate of a populist party – and drags democracy, the media, and morality down with her.
In a rapid-fire exchange of wit, anger, music, and razor-sharp dialogue, Alistair Beaton and Dietmar Jacobs show just how thin the line between entertainment and power has become. The boundaries between satire and seriousness, activism and showmanship blur – until nothing seems certain anymore.
Following the success of "Cardinal Error," the renowned writing team delivers another highly topical, relentlessly funny, and simultaneously unsettling comedy. An evening that will have you laughing – and lingering long after the credits roll. Because democracy isn't a given, but a daily struggle.
