Katja Berlin, the master of satirical graphics, is going on tour with her brand new show "Die Torten der Wahrheit" in fall 2025.
The multiple bestselling author will present her unique favorite cakes in Rostock on 12 November, focusing on social and political topics in a humorous but profound way
. The idea behind "Die Torten der Wahrheit" is as simple as it is ingenious: with a best-of of current cake diagrams, Katja Berlin illuminates controversial topics from politics, business and society in her satirical way. The audience finds itself caught between thinking and smiling, between laughing and crying. Because behind the colorful diagrams are the bitter truths of our time. The show is a mixture of sharp-tongued satire and sheer endless creativity. Her pie charts, presented on stage in a well-founded and charming manner, are more than just visual gags - they are reflections of our society.
