Our Interluder in Residence is in need for a time out, but what to do when a burnout congress is coming up? Fortunately, he is getting help…

Being human makes you tired. The musician Jürg Kienberger sits in the artists’ backstage room and prepares for his solo performance. He’s had a bad day; his neck is stiff, his knee hurts, his voice is hoarse, his costume already drenched in sweat, even before his big performance for the symposium event on «burnout in a meritocratic society». He wishes he could simply leave. What would that mean for him, someone whose livelihood depends on successful stage performances? The adrenaline will pull him through. The young technician, who happens to be a talented acrobat, brings fresh energy into the worn-out space. The two outdo one another in their performances and revive famous comics, like Grock, Buster Keaton and Olov Pischkutin.
