Sarah Bosetti - Make Democracy Great Again!

In the organizer's words:

Sarah Bosetti is an invention of her parents. She has been around since 1984, half man and half woman, first studied film directing in Brussels and then moved to Berlin, where she has since warmed herself in the spotlight of the reading and cabaret stages to save on her own heating costs.

In addition to appearances on ZDF (Die Anstalt), ARD (Nuhr im Ersten, Ladies Night), 3sat, ZDF.kultur and WDR, she is a columnist for radioeins (RBB) and is currently touring Germany with her solo program "Ich hab nichts gegen Frauen, du Schlampe!". Her first novel "Mein schönstes Ferienbegräbnis" (Voland & Quist) was published in 2015, followed by the book "Ich bin sehr hübsch, das sieht man nur nicht so" in 2017 and this year's "Ich habe nicht gegen Frauen, die Schlampe!" (both published by Rowohlt Verlag).

Make Democracy Great Again!
Words against the end of the world


What do AfD voters and climate activists have in common? The fear that the world as it is will end. A divided society my ass! Whether right or left, "old white man" or young "woke" woman, cargo bike fan or anti-vaccination activist: we are united in our fear of a bleak future.

But Sarah Bosetti is not in the mood for fear and gloom. And she has a better idea! If we don't like the future as it's being painted, then we should paint a brighter one and work towards it. If nobody wants democracy anymore, we should not give up on it, but make it better.

"Make Democracy Great Again!" is a funny, biting and stirring plea to save democracy. Sarah Bosetti gives politicians communication lessons, invents the best fake news, writes reflective demo posters and shows why it is a privilege to be allowed to get up from the sofa.

Sarah Bosetti is a satirist, author, poet and reluctant feminist. She has been awarded the Grimme Prize, the German Television Prize, the German Cabaret Prize, the Joachim Ringelnatz Prize for Poetry and the Dieter Hildebrandt Prize, among others. She writes and hosts the monthly late night show "Bosetti Late Night" (3sat), the weekly satire format "Bosetti will reden!" (ZDF) and the extra3 podcast "BosettisWoche" (NDR) and is regularly on live tour throughout the German-speaking world.

"So when the shit hits the fan ... it wasn't Sarah Bosetti's fault." - Marc-Uwe Kling
