Gurtner & Schenk (CH) «MARATHON»

Description

Marco Gurtner and Mathias Schenk, well-known throughout Switzerland for their podcast «Herrgöttli Panaschiert», are bringing their first full-length evening program to the stage: Marathon. People between 30 and 40 nowadays strive for self-optimization. They bake sourdough or banana bread, collect mushrooms and watches. They learn to say «no» and to be more spontaneous. They buy houses, cars, and fitness subscriptions. They follow raw food diets and have children. And when they have time, they run a marathon. And what do Gurtner and Schenk do? They observe their generation very closely and reflect their actions in a colorful mix of spoken word, comedy, and music, where their great improvisational talent also comes into play. The motif of the marathon symbolizes the active life in this phase and ultimately becomes a form of self-reflection for the two friends, as they are also in their thirties. «Marathon» takes you onto the running track. Without having to run yourself, you are right in the middle and get to know various people from the start shot to the finish line. For example, there is Tabea, who intends to say «no» more often and during the marathon realizes she doesn't want to do it at all. There is Jean-Marc, who has fallen in love with his personal trainer and suddenly finds out that this person is not real at all. A show about people in the prime of life, for people of all ages.
