Gurtner & Schenk: Marathon

Description

Marco Gurtner and Mathias Schenk, widely known across Switzerland through their podcast «Herrgöttli Panaschiert», bring their first full-length evening program to the stage: Marathon

Today, people between 30 and 40 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 on their actions in a colorful mix of spoken word, comedy, and music, where their great improvisational talent naturally also shines.
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 of it and learn about various people from the start shot to the finish line. For example, Tabea, who intends to say «no» more often and realizes during the marathon that she actually doesn't want to do it. Or Jean-Marc, who falls in love with his personal trainer and suddenly finds out that this person isn't real.

A show about people in their prime, for people of all ages.
