About the performance
The production is 1 hour and 15 minutes long.
The cabaret Realists (by Jure Karas) depicts the world as a chaotic reality in an absurd time: everything is sinking into the abyss, people prefer spending time in shopping malls, reality shows present the only truth, there is less and less work, only death and credit are inevitable, and we still believe that all dreams come true without effort. Discrimination, prejudice, deviance, dysfunctional interpersonal relationships – all of these are presented by the Realists with a lot of humour, parody and musical interludes, proving that not everything is lost as long as one can laugh at oneself.
"Director Alenka Hain has staged a cabaret with abundant facial expressions and dramatic gesticulation. Actors stand between and on the wooden boxes, sometimes almost overstepping the bounds of political correctness." Tina Perisutti, Kronen Zeitung, 30 December 2023
