Der Bätchcast live: Mit Annika Brockschmidt und Anja Rützel

In the organizer's words:

A furious stage show between pop culture and politics, naked skin and Bible verses, romantic illusion and harsh reality.

When pop culture and politics cuddle, it is most intimately in the US "Bachelor" universe. While the German version fulfills the classic escapism promise of the trash genre, the original unabashedly serves the values of an extremely conservative, white, patriarchal, Christian and heavily airbrushed America - and is therefore unintentionally political.
Annika Brockschmidt, expert on America's religious right and author, and Anja Rützel, long-time trash TV chronicler and journalist, pool their journalistic expertise in "The Bätchcast", explain the political dimensions of trash TV and dissect what is for many a surprising propaganda tool of the US Republicans, camouflaged behind tearful rose awards and ball gowns. With plenty of visual material, re-enactments, clear words and humor, they reveal the deep political dimension of the US Bachelor universe: a platform on which evangelical world views, reactionary role clichés, unattainable images of beauty and white supremacy are more or less subtly smuggled into the living room.

On Monday, October 27, at the Centralstation.
