Die SchMERZtherapie

The smallest grand coalition in history wants to govern the country. Resistance is inevitable, because the culture of debate in parliament has hit rock bottom. The verbal skills of many backbenchers are now worse than those of Bushido and Dieter Bohlen—well below par.

A seminar is in order! Trust exercises, confrontations, building bridges. And so three members of the Bundestag are sentenced to “SchMERZ” therapy.

But they’re not the only ones—the chancellor is also practicing anger management—until the therapy robot burns out. Markus Söder, Heidi Reichinnek, and Ms. Strack-Zimmermann engage in a competition to sing the swan song of their respective parties, while Lars Klingbeil prints promissory notes for the federal budget. Lucky for him that Peter Zwegat can no longer intervene.

In *SchMERZtherapie*, you’ll witness just how closely dreams and trauma are intertwined, because in every pain… there’s a little bit of Merz.

But don’t worry: the difference between pain and a joke is just one letter.
