Mole installation to mark the premiere of the new programme at the Stuttgart Renitenztheater

At the Stuttgart Renitenztheater, rehearsals have started for the new cabaret show "Der Maulwurf – Wühlkommen in den Verhältnissen" [The mole – welcome to the circumstances]. The premiere and debut performance of the media satire, authored by René Sydow and Daniel Hedfeld, and directed by Hans Holzbecher, one of the most successful German directors, is scheduled for 8 December 2016. In the run-up to and during the programme season, Ottmar Hörl is drawing everyone's attention to the piece with a number of temporary mole installations that will – in a genuine mole style – appear and disappear in different locations in Stuttgart. Thus, the artist triggers interest in thinking about the issue.

In addition to other locations, the mole installation will be on show at Galerie ABTart, Rembrandtstraße 18, Stuttgart, until 16 December.

"Culture makes sure that structures of propaganda are revealed and political ideologies are questioned and put in perspective. The Renitenztheater's play is a contemporary contribution to this approach," says Ottmar Hörl.

About the cabaret piece "Der Maulwurf – Wühlkommen in den Verhältnissen" [The mole – welcome to the circumstances]

The action is set in a Stuttgart-based website team, where three editors, pushed by an overeager senior editor, are forced to decide every day which opinion will be publicly edited, and which will not. The protagonists are surveilled, intercepted, and prompted to marvel at and think about what's going on. For there is a so-called mole, someone who continues to counter the prevalent opinion, thus rising to become a secret star of the online community.
