Maxi Schafroth: Faszination Bayern

In the organizer's words:

In "Fascination Bavaria", the journey takes us out of the structurally weak Allgäu region, across the Lech river and into the praised university city of Munich. There, Maxi Schafroth encounters Starnberg dentists' children in SUVs, Munich educated citizens in mustard yellow corduroy pants and hip scene couples with wooden-look glasses.

With the help of well-founded historical evidence, he raises awareness of Bavarian history and sheds light on the first Bavarian settler and forefather "Eusebius the Invertebrate" from the 9th century and his 40-strong peasant army, the "Frusthaufen", which advanced as far as Damascus on foot in the so-called "hedgehog formation".

Maximilian Schafroth spared no effort and no risk in developing his new program. He found himself in some very dicey situations, including several years of industrial espionage at a major bank, a three-day internship at a daycare center in Schwabing and participation in a seminar on breathing therapy for managers. Maxi Schafroth turns this biographical crossover into stunning cabaret, always underpinned by the rasping charm of his Allgäu accent. In "Fascination Bavaria", he is once again accompanied by heart and mind and, above all, by his congenial guitarist and court neighbor Markus Schalk.

"Schafroth breaks down the rural and the petty bourgeois, peasant shrewdness, banker chutzpahand alternative pettiness into their comic banality without makingthem ridiculous. And hit the mark with the audience." Süddeutsche Zeitung
