Patrick Salmen - Yoga gegen Rechts
Welcome to my live retreat "Yoga against the Right". As usual, there will be 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 recite elevated world literature, but I don't want to show off.
Here's an arbitrary press release that the soulless artificial intelligence of ChatGPT spat out at me: "Patrick Salmen dissects urban self-optimizers in the seemingly contradictory conflict of effective politicization and the silent longing for escapism. (Sounds smart) "Yoga against the Right" combines short stories with dry humor, biting dialogues, and razor-sharp observations. With satirical acumen and a lot of self-irony, Patrick Salmen exposes the pathological traits of mindfulness-obsessed city neurotics, because no one knows better than the comedian from Dortmund that the other person often seems so weird only because you are looking in a mirror. (This sentence clearly doesn't make sense!)
Hurry over and bring your inner cork mat. Afterwards, there will be shared asanas, psychedelic breathing exercises, and melodic deep house beats. Kisses, your Patrick Salmen
Short Biography: Patrick Salmen
Patrick Salmen was born in 1985 in Wuppertal and studied German studies and history at the University of Wuppertal. He has been working as an independent author and satirist for 12 years. In 2010, he became the titleholder of the German-speaking slam poetry champion. However, he quickly emancipated himself from this format and now tours with independent solo shows throughout the German-speaking region. He writes books, appears on radio and TV formats, and regularly works as a moderator, speaker, or develops late-night and literary concepts in his chosen hometown Dortmund.
His literary debut was in 2011 with the short story collection "Distances" published by Lektora Verlag. His humorous short stories have appeared under titles such as "I Have an Axe", "Two Dreams Meet. Both Burst", and "In the Rainbow of Good Mood, I am the Beige" published by Droemer Knaur, a popular publisher. Together with Quichotte, he is responsible for the puzzle books "You Can Achieve Anything You Dream Of. Unless it's too difficult" and "Giving Up is not a Solution. Except with Packages."
Recently published works include the poetry collection "Two More Winters", the short story collection "And Outside the World," and the children's book "The Yellow Crane." He is currently working on his debut novel and the next stage program "Yoga against the Right."
