Franz Kain - A Great Pike in the Non-Swimmer Pool

Description

A great pike in the non-swimmer pool
The tenth solo program by Franz Kain, 60 years old and not a bit quiet, could be a fitting description of Franz Kain. His milestone birthday has rather fueled his desire to bring another solo program — his tenth — to the stage. He belongs to the group of aging people (51-60) and is on the verge of the older generation (61-75). So, what can one do — in any case, exclude the category of "old and very old people" and focus entirely on the "long-lived" (from 100 years). This includes life on stage. There, the original Woinemer blossoms — naturally authentic as ever in Palatinate dialect. He is in good spirits about the topic "Getting old, but not aging." The sixties are finally the new forties. He still feels like a great pike — following the motto: because I look so young, it can't be that I am already 60! But what happens to these people now classified as the older generation? They suddenly become jubilarians, receive baskets with vouchers for rollators, and can buy discounted senior tickets. Franz Kain is horrified by the offer of "Holiday games for seniors" with wood carving workshops, linocuts, and aqua fun with swimming noodles. After all, he still considers himself a great pike — even in the non-swimmer pool! Water — along with always well-maintained SPA time — has given him a boost in fitness. Bathing and swimming or aqua Zumba up to diving from the pool edge. What is David Hasselhoff compared to Franz Kain, who has established the new rescue swimmer unit "Baywatch Woinemer Waidsee" at the DLRG? Franz Kain has so far run away from age, because jogging prolongs life by countless years. But what if — so the anxious question — the all-weather jogger ends up with more years of life than he has gained in years? A tragic human minus business. Franz Kain has better suggestions, and one of them is guaranteed: laughing at oneself! [Photo: © Marco Schilling]
