Free Beer - OR: THE FINAL DAYS OF DEMOCRACY,
Wald4tler Hoftheater OFF-Production

📷 Valentin Steiner

A raucous celebration! There’s free beer! But eventually a subtle feeling creeps in that something isn’t quite right. Can we still party carefree when the downfall of democracy—or perhaps even all of humanity—is looming? This time there’s no comet like in Nestroy; everything is home‑made, à la Karl Kraus. Reality overtakes satire—so what then?

A production that teeters between intoxication and loss of reality, blending immersive theatre with improvisation to create a unique live‑theatre experience that unfolds in the moment. The entire courtyard of the Hoftheater becomes the stage, the audience the plaything of escalation. Co‑direction is handled by a drunken version of ChatGPT, inspired by the new U.S. administration: Nuclear‑level stuff at its finest!
