Natürliche Intelligenz – letzter Versuch!

Probably the last cabaret show in the history of humankind to have been created entirely without artificial intelligence (AI). For that reason alone, you should go and see it! No Google, no Tinder, no Metaverse.

It’s not just since ChatGPT that natural intelligence has been just as threatened with extinction as leopards, orcas and care workers for the elderly. There are 25 billion chickens in the world, but only 1,000 mountain gorillas left. Our children are getting dumber and dumber, adults are running after populists, and influencers confuse the number of their followers with their IQ.

In the face of the rampant stupidity of politicians, neighbours and former US presidents, who wouldn’t constantly want to exclaim: ‘Lord, rain brains from the sky!’

Robert Griess once again mobilises all reserves of natural intelligence to provide answers that are as amusing as they are surprising to the big questions: Did God create us, or is God the first AI invented by humans that has seized power? How do we want to live? Who do we want to be?

In the end, the ‘analogues’ oldies and digital natives must decide: would they rather be a chicken with all its needs met in a battery farm, or one of the last, endangered mountain gorillas living in the wild?

Robert Griess is one of the sharpest and funniest cabaret artists in Germany. According to the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, he is “Cologne’s quickest and cheekiest talker”. The Süddeutsche Zeitung even writes: “When it comes to making the world a better place, Griess is the man of the moment!”

For 30 years, his motto has been: “Satire can do anything – except be boring!” He always manages to entertain his audience with wit and relevance, and to make the status quo dance with his unrivalled humour.

Awards and prizes. On tour nationwide. Radio and TV appearances. Founder of the legendary ‘Schlachtplatte’ ensemble. Author of books (‘Köln’, ‘Stappers Revolte’), screenplays (“Käpt’n Blaubär”), columns (including in manager-magazin, Handelsblatt, Brigitte) and plays. His work “Berlin@Play” was invited to the 10th Theatre Olympiad in Budapest. He divides his time between Cologne and ships.

“Robert Griess’s new programme once again showcases Natural Intelligence at its very best, just before it burns out.” – Stephen Hawking (frontman of The Black Holes)
