Klaus Oppitz - Emigration Day

Klaus Oppitz and the Round Table Fleeing from it all!

Austria in the not too distant future: right-wing populist Michael Hichl has just begun his third term as prime minister; the country is not only free of foreigners, it is in recession, isolated internationally and crippled by inflation and unemployment. In search of a brighter future, the Putschek family emigrate to what is now one of the richest EU countries, Turkey. On their eventful journey, the Putscheks meet Burgenland racketeers, authentic Arian Hungarians, shady people-traffickers, and politically persecuted Carinthians, finally landing in an Istanbul refugee centre. It is very hard to integrate, however, when a member of the family is slowly losing their mind. The Round Table consists of Klaus Oppitz, Rudi Roubinek, Mike Bernard and Gerald Fleischhacker. The other knights of the Round Table assisted the creation of Emigration Day with wordplay, tips and feedback. The four have pooled their diverse talents and with their combined strength have become leading writers on the Austrian comedy scene.

Press

"Auswandertag" wirft einen düsteren, satirischen Blick in eine mögliche Zukunft.
[Quelle: Wolfgang Huber-Lang, APA]

Im Roman Auswandertag werden etwas ernstere Töne angeschlagen. In einem Text, der dem gesprochenen Wort sehr nahe kommt, beschreibt Klaus Oppitz ein Flüchtlingsschicksal mit umgekehrten Vorzeichen. Die Migration vollzieht sich in Auswandertag von Mitteleuropa in die Türkei.

Anfangs mundig wirkend, spürt man den bitteren Geschmack, den der Tenor des satirischen Spotts nicht verdrängen kann…

Klaus Oppitz - Land Down

Under right-wing populist Michael Hichl, Austria has become a despotically ruled police state. Dissidents, foreigners, and homosexuals are made illegal, the country is run down, and border regions are abused as cheap production sites where the rural population and regime critics slave away in sweatshops. We meet some drifters cluelessly wandering around Austria: Emma with her dilettante assassination plans, opportunistic former callboy Pascal, Alwine who's searching for the love of her, and Wolferl the no-good son of Hichl's chief PR guy who can't get over the murder of his ex-girlfriend Valli Putschek. But something is going on in Upper Austria's impoverished Mühlviertel: Austria's first terror militia, the "Christian Republic" is making its way towards the hills around Linz. Just then the four lost souls cross paths and things quickly get out of hand.
