Düringer: 250 ccm / Die Viertelliterklasse (2002)

Roland Düringer's fourth solo is a 'play in three acts'. But 'Die Viertelliterklasse' has nothing to do with gasoline and a lot to do with alcohol, nothing to do with silly humor and a lot to do with cabaret. With dark humor, Austria's national pastime, 'drinking,' is taken to task. The boss, the caretaker, the failed actor, and the rude customer – all are ruined by alcohol: Düringer dedicated the program to the 'victims of Austrian pub culture' and was awarded the Austrian Cabaret Prize 'Karl 2001' for it. The jury praised it as 'Viennese folk theater for a new millennium.'
