At his cult “Pabst Audience” in the Berlin Winter Garden, the author, director and vaudeville inventor Markus Pabst appears in a white religious habit. And hangs upside down on the trapeze to explain to the audience: “I want to see the world upside down: Those below are then above!” In his texts, too, he likes to read words backwards – that’s how “life” turns into “fog”.
He is presenting a homage to the word, somewhere between stand-up comedy and poetry slam, on February 6th in the Gop, when he invites the people of Munich to the “Markus Pabst Audience” – and asks such existential questions as those about the best-selling toilet paper . That’s right, that actually means “Happy End”https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/.”I’ve been writing lyrics for others for years, but when I speak my lyrics myself, I notice that they usually come across even more strongly. Because I know best what I meant by that,” says Pabst.
