THE AMPLE THERAPY
Until someone cries
The coalition is at an end. The divorce papers are on the table. Christian Lindner already has a new profile on Parship.
The row in parliament continues. Bärbel Bas sentences three bullies to detention. Team-building, as it is called in modern German, to ensure the parliament's ability to work again, to regain proximity to the people. Because after the election is before the new election.
But between exercises in trust and building bridges together, chasms are opening up. Politicians who have lost their way meet burnt-out typists and historical figures. At some point, it is no longer even certain whether time is running forwards or backwards.
Will the MPs manage the traffic light therapy - or will the therapy manage them?
Until someone cries. Maybe the therapist.

In light of current events: DISTEL wouldn't be DISTEL if we couldn't react just as quickly to sudden drumbeats in the big political circus. The text was already revised on the night of the "traffic light shutdown" so that the first new version could be performed the very next evening. Since then, we have been following the events and continuing to spin them through our satire mill - until the bitter end. And beyond.
