SYNOPSIS

Made famous by Dieter Nuhr’s show on German TV channel Ersten and the triggering of a series of anti-Semitism scandals, cabaret artist Lisa Eckhart is touring Germany with a live program in summer 2022. Scenes and milieus come together in the audience of the despotic stage character. Who has gathered there? Who laughs with whom? And about what? Starting with a performance in a rented university lecture hall in Hildesheim, Andy T. and his team travel across Germany and draw an alarming picture of right-wing ideas and group dynamics in a self-proclaimed „centre“ of society.
