Egersdörfer / Schulz / Mueller: Carmen oder Worte, die das Herz berühren

Carmen or words that touch the heart.

Rarely have opinions on a program been more divided in the cabaret scene. Matthias Egersdörfer, his partner Carmen (Claudia Schulz) and their gay neighbor Rene Eichhorn (Andy Maurice Mueller) intelligently transcend all taboos to dive deep into human abysses and bathe in emotional cruelty.

Carmen decided to live as a hikikomori a few months ago. Egersdörfer initially thought that she had caught a bad cold because he was only half listening again. But this is neither an infectious disease nor a method of committing suicide by sticking a dagger in your stomach. In Japan, hikikomori are people who almost completely turn their backs on the world and exist as hermits only within their own four walls. It is most likely Egersdörfer's fault that Carmen has come to this. The neighbor Rene Eichhorn was also so badly affected by Egersdörfer that he had to undergo therapeutic treatment. Of course, it wasn't intentional. But Egersdörfer wouldn't be Egersdörfer if he couldn't make humorous use of his new circumstances.

Together, the choleric Egers, the chirpy neighbor and the bible-thumping Carmen dance on a minefield of black humor. Among other things, the audience experiences a funny exorcism, feminist Biedermeier, topical jokes about testosterone and a glimpse behind the scenes of food bloggers with a lot of crazy ideas.
