WIRECARD: Last Exit Bad Vöslau

"Con artists in tailor-made suits. Toxic masculinity. A little boy's fantasy in private jets. Or: the Wirecard scandal. In a cross-genre theater evening, Blind Date Collaboration stages this story as a satire in which drag kings satirize the game of big money, which was never more than hot air. The former DAX company “Wirecard” was celebrated as Germany's answer to Silicon Valley. But in June 2020, the fairy tale of lies was exposed: 1.9 billion euros had disappeared without a trace – or had never existed in the first place. Investors lost their money and former Wirecard COO Jan Marsalek took off. He flew from Bad Vöslau to Minsk, where his trail was initially lost. While the court proceedings in the Wirecard case are ongoing and have now even been extended by a year, the entanglements in Austrian politics remain nebulous. And CEO Markus Braun? He claims to have known nothing about any of this..." – Blind Date Collaboration
