Abfent! brings Polt's Christmas madness to Landshut
When the Advent season turns into a mandatory exercise in reflection, the real madness begins on stage: With Abfent! Free after Polt – served in Happerl, the Theater Landshut Berg dedicates itself to the unforgettable Christmas episodes of Gerhard Polt. On Friday, November 27, 2026, the Salzstadel transforms into a place for sharp observations, dry humor, and alarmingly familiar everyday scenes.
Christmas between aspiration and reality
Gerhard Polt's view of the festival of love knows no safe zone. Exaggerated expectations, family peculiarities, and cultivated double standards come under the satirical magnifying glass in this production. The ensemble serves a selection of the best Polt Christmas scenes: pointed, darkly humorous, and with that peculiar accuracy that immediately turns a laugh into recognition.
A production with bite and musical Advent flair
Under the direction of Katharina Daffner, a stage experience is created that closely intertwines comedy and critical social observation. Advent music accompanies the evening and questions the supposed contemplation in its own unique way. In the theatrical atmosphere of the Salzstadel, acoustic closeness, lively play, and pointed dialogues come together.
Polt satire as precise stage art
The dramaturgy thrives on the contrast between familiar Christmas situations and surprising breaks. From small gestures, refined manners, and everyday expressions grows a comedy that never strays far from reality. Acting and direction make visible what lurks behind the festive facades: human vanity, social rituals, and the quiet pressure to appear especially happy at Christmas.
