“Ischgl Blues”: How can Felix Mitterer beat it?



[ad_1]

A satirical video of a young musician is causing a sensation, not only in Ischgl.

The crown crisis is affecting many tourism companies, including in Tyrol. Sympathy for Ischgl’s hoteliers and cable car operators will remain limited, not only because of the events of the spring, but also because dealing with them continues to cause irritation. The last event: the musician Marcus Hinterberger from Saalbach-Hinterglem, himself the son of a hotelier, processed the Ischgl theme into a satirical video. He adopted the role of a wealthy hotelier and rhymed a couple of old cliches (“I drive my Porsche with a 100 around the local area”) with some new developments (“Sit in the community and think about the strategy, and suddenly it comes up, I’ll make a luxurious après-ski. “). In the background, snow cannons and cows.

It’s all called ‘Ischgl Blues’, you may like it or not, but overall it seems pretty harmless in view of the musician’s low level of consciousness and the problems winter tourism often faces. Apparently, Hinterberger touched a nerve. After hostility on social media and a letter from the local tourism director to his mother (!), The 20-year-old was forced to take the video off the net. When that had already happened, members of Silvretta Bergbahnen’s board of directors contacted him. In a letter from which the “Standard” cites, they attempted satire and offered Hinterberger a job as chairman of the cable car. However, they couldn’t help but refer to their “no-level work” and Ischgl’s achievements. Self-irony? Nothing. Hinterberger then described his experiences to composer Hans Söllner, who resurrected the video on his Facebook page. End of story: Accession numbers skyrocket, media reports.

It seems that it will not be so easy for the filmmaker Felix Mitterer to overcome reality with the announced fifth part of the “Piefke Saga”. In 2015, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his television enthusiasm, he said in an interview: “The guests are different now, they see it by the fireplace and they can laugh at it.” The guests may have changed, the Tyrolese, it seems at least in view of this farce, the old ones have remained even after 30 years.
