Slippery Slope

In the organizer's words:
Drama

Almost a musical
by Yael Ronen and Shlomi Shaban | with the collaboration of Riah May Knight and Itai Reicher from the English by Irina Szodruch
In German | on selected dates with live audio description in German, with prior stage tour

"Cancel culture", "political correctness", "old white men". This highly entertaining satirical musical by Yael Ronen and Shlomi Shaban takes a biting look at one of the big questions of our time: Who is actually allowed to say what? Formerly famous musician Gustav Gundesson is planning his comeback after being "canceled" for abuse of power. Not so easy, because almost all of his songs fail for a comeback concert due to cultural appropriation. Yet fans used to sing along enthusiastically to songs such as the Bedouin hit "Eye of the Camel". Gustav had only meant well and wanted to save his marriage to Klara and his lover Sky from the clutches of the music industry. But while Sky pushes ahead with her solo career on social media and the successful editor-in-chief Klara smiles at her husband's mid-life crisis, Klara's employee, the journalist Stanka, senses her next big revelation. With plenty of wit and acumen, "Slippery Slope" sends its characters onto the thin ice of current debate culture. Who took advantage of whom here again? Or more importantly: who is selling their story best? The satirical revue about the desire for simple truths was invited to the Berlin Theatertreffen in 2022 and is now coming to the Altes Kino Franklin. This content has been machine translated.
