Cuckoo! A warm welcome to my live retreat “Yoga gegen Rechts”. I know – strange title, but the possible alternatives were clearly too cumbersome: “Your crap disturbs my self-care”, “Something about toxic mindfulness” or “The fabulous world of ambiguity tolerance”. As usual, there’s a solid mix of stand-up comedy and funny short stories. Basically, two hours of super fun! I actually wanted to play the viola and present elevated world literature, but I don’t want to show off.
Here’s an arbitrary press text that the soulless artificial intelligence of ChatGPT spit out for me: “Comedian and author Patrick Salmen dissects urban self-optimizers in the seemingly contradictory conflict of effective politicization and the quiet longing for escapism. (That sounds clever) “Yoga gegen Rechts” combines short stories with dry humor, biting dialogues, and razor-sharp observations. With satirical sharpness and a lot of self-irony, Patrick Salmen exposes the pathological traits of mindfulness-obsessed urban neurotics, because no one knows better than the Dortmund stage artist that one often perceives the other as strange simply because one is looking into a mirror. (This sentence definitely makes no sense!)
Even in his fifth collection of short stories, Patrick Salmen meets the strange species called human with due compassion. This in no way prevents him from gleefully poking a finger into one or another neo-esoteric wound.” (Hear! Hear!) I couldn't have said it better myself. So, hurry on over and bring your inner cork mat with you. Afterwards, there will be shared asanas, psychedelic breathing exercises, and melodic deep-house. Simply great!
