Gurtner & Schenk - Marathon

Description

Marco Gurtner and Mathias Schenk, known throughout Switzerland for their podcast «Herrgöttli Panaschiert», bring 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 do raw food diets and have children. And if they still have time, they run a marathon. And what do Gurtner and Schenk do? They observe their generation very closely and reflect on their actions in a colorful mix of spoken word, comedy, and music, where of course their great improvisation talent also comes to the fore. The motif of the marathon symbolically stands for the eventful life in this phase and ultimately becomes self-reflection for the two friends, as they are both also in their thirties. “Marathon” takes you along the running route. Without having to run yourself, you are right in the middle and get to know various people from the starting shot to the finish line. For example, there is Tabea, who intends to say more “no” and realizes during the marathon that 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 he is not a real person at all. A show about people in their prime, for people of all ages.
