Das Orakel spricht

Information
More detailsLiv Strömquist is one of the most influential comic artists of our time. She inimitably transfers social discourse into the art form of the graphic novel and combines sociological and philosophical theories with pop-cultural references. She tells her stories with an infectious delight in exaggeration. …
Her latest book takes aim at the ubiquitous happiness research and (self-)optimization mania of recent years: it’s not just advice books that are flooding the non-fiction market, celebrities and normal people alike are also quick to come up with THE formula for a “better life”. Why is the human need to give advice so great? Nobody is bothered by the fact that the tips promise the same thing in the ultimate promise, but demand completely contrary conditions on the way to the goal. Strömquist tells the story of seven “influencers”: from 14th-century Saint Catherine to former British Duchess Meghan Markle and Rollo Tomassi – who has some peculiar tips for men on how to attract women.
After two successful Strömquist adaptations for the theater, director Katrin Plötner is now continuing her exploration of the author in Graz and, together with her artistic team, is creating a multi-perspective evening of theater with music that promises to be both insightful and fun.
