Nessi Tausendschön & William Mackenzie

In the organizer's words:

People want to laugh. We are human beings, we want to be happy and not always complain. But often we do. And that is exactly what happens in the evenings on cabaret stages at best: Elegant, clever and beautiful quarrelling with the big, but also the small issues of life. Failure as a hill to climb, success by chance, happiness as the result of continuous striving for knowledge.

For 30 years, Nessi Tausendschön has been impossible to bomb off the stage. 30 years of sophisticatedly cultivated scraping, smooth large and small-scale art, baffling dance, melancholy contrition poetry and beautiful music. When Nessi celebrates the ruptures of life, even the soul-blind in the audience awaken from their distanced torpor, the boundaries between inner, remembered emotional reality and outer, physical presence, between public and private, even intimate, become blurred and not a dry eye is left in the house. In short: as a cabaret artist, Nessi has a tongue like a horsewhip, but as a singer she has a voice like an angel. A wonderful combination.

For the sake of completeness, it should be said that 30 years on stage have also left their mark on Ms. Tausendschön: She is the winner of the German Kleinkunstpreis and the Salzburger Stier. These awards may be representative of the numerous other honors with which the culture industry has recognized the cabaret phenomenon Nessi Tausendschön. And one more thing: since the Böhmermann affair, we all know that satire does have an effect, even if it's only a state affair, haha. And knowing that I am a small cog in the big world, I can say with a clear conscience: I like being a cabaret artist. An amusement lady, a joke whore, a joke prostitute, a jokester, a fun kurtisane, a fezdirne, a joke bitch, a joke whore, a joke slut, a joke call girl, today in new language this is probably called "Joke Account Facility Manager".
