What doesn't happen on a crazy sleepless night?
Marie, the main character in Anna Schäfer's new and brilliant
solo, knows the problem. Like many people, she sleeps badly,
because she can't stop her thoughts. During the night
all her strange and highly comical ideas regularly pop up
that she always wanted to tell her friends, enemies and the whole world.
have always wanted to share.
In a fast, deep, musical and very funny monologue
monologue, Anna Schäfer aims straight for the heart of our time.
She plays, sings and whirls through the big issues that concern her and
and us. She slips into countless figures and crazy characters
and creates an equally topical, fantastic and satirical
portrait of our country and its inhabitants. Personal,
political, pointed and with wild playfulness.
An evening all about the stories we tell ourselves and others.
The stories that are our lives.
Anna Schäfer is supported for this program by the playwright
and Grimme Award winner Dietmar Jacobs (Stromberg, Mord mit Aussicht,
Extra 3, Heute Show, Kom(m)ödchen Düsseldorf).
Also by director Hans Holzbecher (award-winning satire director,
mainly since 2006 Kom(m)ödchen Düsseldorf, furthermore
productions for theaters and musicals such as West Side Story, Jekyll & Hyde etc.).
And from the composer Jochen Kilian (music director at many city and state
theaters, Theater des Westens, Berlin, composer and arranger for many
for many German-speaking artists and stages, including Friedrichstadtpalast, Berlin).
An evening that will certainly leave no one untouched.
