Cabaret with Urban Priol

You cannot step into the same river twice, says Heraclitus, all being is becoming. One thinks of Stuttgart 21 and realizes: the old Greek was right. “All being is becoming” – this is the conclusion Urban Priol regularly comes to when he sits down to write his press text just before the deadline. Like a river in constant change, his current program is also. With eagle eyes, the cabaret artist follows the steady stream of political events, from the stagnant waters of the grand coalition to the meandering trickle of the traffic light government, all the way to the mental shallows in the brown swamp. Priol is always in touch with the times, often mocking faster than his shadow can think, spontaneously and current. He rumbles, thunders, flashes, and like a cleansing storm, makes much shine in a bright, cheerful light. Boundless, the master of parody plows through the night, summarizing complex contexts and transforming opaque, murky eddies into pure spring water. With joy, he plunges into the waves of daily madness, diving into the abyss of the absurd, indulging in playful mockery and having as much fun as his audience. “In the river.” is like a rafting trip that leads at a rapid pace over steps and past boulders through wildly foaming rapids. Come along! Follow the motto of another great Greek philosopher, Costa Cordalis: “Get in the boat tonight!” You won't regret it.
