Mariannes großes Debüt - oder vom Versuch, widerspenstig zu werden

In the organizer's words:

Marianne's big debut or the attempt to become unruly

Tragicomedy by Paul Furtwängler

Is the self ever really finished? Or does the real freedom lie in the unfinished? In the tragicomedy "Marianne's Great Debut", an imperfect evening at the theater becomes a mirror of inner upheaval: Marianne dreams of a glamorous debut as a female icon in the spotlight - with dancing, singing and breathtaking costumes. But the audience arrives too early and encounters Marianne not in the splendor of perfection, but in vulnerability and insecurity. Despite her incompleteness, Marianne offers the audience a show - albeit a different one than expected. Marianne's debut is dedicated to the longings and complex entanglements of queer identity. The fragility of the autofictional trans figure Marianne and her striving for the perfect show merge into a double narrative: a reflection on her own identity and the artistic process. In his solo debut, Paul Furtwängler questions binary gender concepts, celebrates our human insecurities and focuses on the beauty of imperfection.
