The Announcer of a Striptease Act Doesn't Give Up

Description

He is back! 30 years after the wildly celebrated premiere at the Schauspielhaus Düsseldorf, Ilja Richter returns to the stage in his signature role as the "Announcer of a Striptease Act…" by Bodo Kirchhoff. And this announcer of the eagerly awaited striptease artist named Andrea, who will never appear on stage, truly "bares all." A man steps onto the stage to prepare the audience for a promised sensation. He praises Andrea's art in the highest terms – but she does not come. The opening act gradually becomes the main program. As he improvises, soothes, and shines, he reveals more and more of himself. Between wit and abyss fall sentences like: "Nudity is the most opaque of all garments." Armed only with a wooden chair, Ilja Richter challenges the audience, seasoned in all waters of acting art. He flirts, fantasizes, reveals secrets and backgrounds of his character, lets the audience desperately peer into the abyss of the man, and reveals almost everything one needs to know about life and acting on stage.
