The fact that a giant of thought like Olaf Schubert knows the answer to every question is considered school knowledge. But now Schubert is taking the next big step. He is asking questions. Important questions, like the one ‘Jetzt or now?’. In other words, a question that asks questions itself. The fact that the tail bites into the face is the artist's very own concern.

As if by chance, he created a programme title with an international sound with this question. We can see from this that Schubert is now multilingual - if not bilingual. Having reached the top of the iceberg of globalisation, everything is now open to him. The whole world. Nevertheless, this exceptional artist remains loyal to us, because he also gives concerts in Germany - not many, but still around 745 - which shows that he has managed to do what very few succeed in doing: remaining down-to-earth despite his gigantic success. He wants to be an Olaf you can touch. Unfortunately, however, hardly anyone does, as he recently confessed to a major news magazine. On stage, Schubert completely reinvents himself once again and that's exactly why he remains his old self. He consistently goes his own way, but is not one to cross red lines. No - he undermines them. On the other hand, he crosses yellow lines. This enables him to push boundaries, even invisible ones, in all directions at the same time. He himself probably doesn't know how he achieves this. But watching him do it during his show is a marvellous fascination, because even this or that flax rocket is set off during the show. That's why almost everyone (even his grandma) who has ever had the chance to see him live is simply deeply moved: Thank you, Olaf!

His friends Jochen M. Barkas and Mr Stephan are by his side as always.
