Ulan & Bator - Undsinn
The world is upside down. Is it possible to laugh about it without switching off your mind? Is it possible to forget oneself in lightness without resorting to escapism?
It is! Just experience Ulan & Bator. Their answer to any existential crisis is: Undsinn!
In times of existential crisis: Undsinn!
After Wirrklichkeit, Irreparabeln and Zukunst, the new program of the two award-winning clowns among intellectuals, artists among comedians, Dadaists among jokers. An evening that stimulates both the laugh muscles and the mind equally.
“The heirs of Monty Python” (Süddeutsche Zeitung from 27.05.2024)
Only a few stage artists can be said to have created a completely unique art form. Ulan & Bator have been working for more than 20 years on their “Krazy Kabarett” and are unique in the German-speaking area. “In the realm of nonsense,” writes the Süddeutsche Zeitung on the occasion of the premiere at the Münchner Lustspielhaus on May 25, 2024, “the real world is reflected as an absurd, grotesque parody.”
“A highlight of the season” (Münchner Abendzeitung from 27.05.2024)
Brilliant theatrical craftsmanship without interjections, light changes, and props – the joy of performance that Sebastian Rüger and Frank Smilgies unleash as Ulan & Bator on stage in scenes, songs, dances, and grotesques is already legendary. The new program also fascinates with musicality and captivating pace. As silly as it is demanding, the two actors constantly create new worlds, shimmering across all genres – a wonderfully ephemeral stage art that becomes tangible in the moment between artists and audience.
“Ulan & Bator are too true to be crazy.” (a fan)
A soothing middle finger towards digital recyclability, a counter to every AI, a delightful bow towards the witty with breathtakingly lasting effect.
