Look forward to a fast-paced, sharp-witted and delightfully offbeat road trip through Germany and the major issues of our time! “Beyond Germany” takes you on a cabaret journey through a country caught between crumbling infrastructure, a shortage of skilled workers, political trench warfare and everyday madness - pointed, topical and full of humor. What on earth is going on in Germany? The railways are struggling with delays, bridges are crumbling, and when it comes to the right political course, of course everyone knows exactly which way things should go. Left, right, center, up or down - there is certainly no shortage of opinions and supposed truths. And while Germany is still arguing with itself, the world around it is no less crazy.
