Anna Schäfer

What doesn't happen on a crazy sleepless night? Marie, the main character in Anna Schäfer's new and brilliant solo, knows the problem. Like many people, she sleeps badly because she can't stop her thoughts. During the night, all her strange and highly comical ideas that she has always wanted to share with her friends, enemies and the whole world regularly pop up.
In a fast, deep, musical and very funny monologue, Anna Schäfer aims straight for the heart of our times. She plays, sings and whirls through the big issues that affect her and us. She slips into countless figures and crazy characters and creates a contemporary, fantastic and satirical portrait of our country and its inhabitants. Personal, political, pointed and with wild playfulness. A fast-paced journey between theater, cabaret, comedy and storytelling.
An evening all about the stories we tell ourselves and others. The stories that are our lives.

Anna Schäfer is supported for this program by playwright and Grimme Award winner Dietmar Jacobs (Stromberg, Mord mit Aussicht, Extra 3, Heute Show, Kom(m)ödchen Düsseldorf).
Also by director Hans Holzbecher (award-winning satirical director, mainly for Kom(m)ödchen Düsseldorf since 2006, as well as productions for theaters and musicals such as West Side Story, Jekyll & Hyde etc.).
And by composer Jochen Kilian (music director at many municipal and state theaters, Theater des Westens, Berlin, composer and arranger for many German-speaking artists and stages, including Friedrichstadtpalast, Berlin).
An evening that will certainly leave no one untouched.
