Description
With BORN TO BE CHILD, Alex Kristan presents not only a cabaret program but a way of life. One that we often forget in the "adult mode" because the voice of reason is so loud. The perfect reason for him to persist in his motto "Sensible is like dead – only beforehand." Alex Kristan has been consistently refusing to grow up for over fifty years and increasingly prefers to escalate age-appropriately. In times when people sue their own reflection due to body shaming, he especially holds a mirror up to us – and shows us with his very own "Born identity" that despite responsibility, to-do lists, and social norms, you can also make faces. With a sharp eye and even sharper humor, he dissects the absurdities of modern adulthood. Men with women complexes, silver foxes with aging allergies, or the fitness craze vs. the "I am always beautiful" lie. Not to forget the Nine-Eleven of the pension system, also called "Retirement Home Nightmare": the longevity hype and the romanticized escape "back to nature" in the hope that the supposedly perfect world there will last a while longer. Being an adult for him does not mean fulfilling expectations and functioning in the zeitgeist, but keeping the promises you made as a child. Keeping this child – and thus humor – alive in us is Alex Kristan's universal remedy against the seriousness of life. Alex Kristan and his inner "Rotzpipn" as a dream team remind us that all this here is not a dress rehearsal but the main event itself. Together, they will again thoroughly tickle the audience's diaphragm – with heart, mind, and childlike joy. BORN TO BE CHILD is an emergency exit from the hamster wheel.
A classic Alex Kristan program.
