Cultural summer in Graupa: Leipzig pepper mill with 5% dignity”!
On July 26, 2025 there will be a highlight in Graupa's cultural summer program in the Richard Wagner Place. The cabaret ensemble Leipziger Pfeffermühle brings their current program “5 Percent Dignity” to the stage. This event takes place as part of the popular Grauaper Cultural Summer and promises a humorous as well as critical examination of the topics surrounding elections and political correctness. According to that Weekly Courier The performances begin at 8 p.m. and take place outdoors in the castle park.
The performance is musically accompanied by edited songs by ABBA, which further underline the satirical framework of the program. The actors, including Elisabeth Sonntag, Rebekka Köbernick, Steffen Reichelt and Fabian Quast, address current political developments and address relevant social issues.

Whether Parliament, Senate or the election of the mayor - the topic remains exciting and current, as it is Termin.de highlights.
So what can the audience expect in the castle park? A refreshing combination of cabaret and a dash of music that simultaneously denounces elephants in the political space and provides deeper insights into the dynamics of the elections. The event is supported by the Pro Graupa association, which aims to actively shape the local cultural landscape.
Political satire through the ages
Dealing with political issues is not new, but it remains an exciting field for critical voices in society. The Leipziger Pfeffermühle knows how to creatively weave historical and current contexts together. This type of satire is reminiscent of the great political satirists such as Kurt Tucholsky and Erika Mann, who addressed and commented on social issues as early as the 1920s. According to an article in the Time This tradition continues today and is an expression of a lively democratic discourse.
Visitors who are looking forward to an entertaining and insightful examination of German electoral politics should mark July 26, 2025 in their calendars. The Graupaer Kultursommer not only brings all kinds of art and culture to the region, but also enlivens political discourse in a refreshing way.
