Manuel Stahlberger & Julia Kubik

Hamburg has the Hamburg School, Atlanta has the trap, Saignelégier has the horses, St. Gallen has the laconicism. But what exactly is it? And why does it thrive so well in the high valley on the eastern edge? No one probably has a clear answer to that. But this show would be represented in the corresponding Wikipedia article, if there was one.

Julia Kubik and Manuel Stahlberger both like to dissect local events, interpersonal relationships and general matters. And now they are doing this together on stage for the first time. "Es wie die Sonnenuhr machen" combines various tragicomic miniatures in slide shows, songs, texts and short films. It's about new monuments, old French textbooks, historical poetry albums, invented services, Guezli dough and the final clarification of the pike incidents in the St.Gallen ponds.

Julia Kubik is a comic artist and author and lives in St. Gallen. She writes jokes for a TV program, makes comics for the eastern Swiss culture magazine Saiten, plays in the band "Hundefutter", co-hosts a talk show and makes lots of insta-stories about the abysses and joys of the provinces. Her comics are often about animals and infrastructure. In 2023, she was awarded the Cultural Promotion Prize of the City of St. Gallen.
