东德近闻

　　In a series of cabaret pieces, Steffen Mensching and Hans-Eckardt Wenzel – highly acclaimed East German poets, songwriters and comedians – satirize East German life in the historic year after the Wall came down. The two clowns they play, Meh and Weh, are allowed to leave prison to sing for people outside.

The title is a wordplay on the irreverent Dada art movement of the 1920s and the German acronym for East Germany
