Anna Schäfer // Schlafende Hunde

In the organizer's words:

A highly comical night flight

Anna Schäfer is breaking new ground in her latest solo program. In a frenzied mixture of stand-up, theater play, storytelling and songs, she presents a pointed parade ride through the madness of our time. Topical, funny and touching at the same time.
In countless roles, stories and razor-sharp analyses, she easily dances across all genre boundaries. An evening full of energy, humor and emotion, in which the versatile actress, comedienne and singer shows all her facets.

Anna Schäfer takes the audience on an exciting journey through the stories we tell about ourselves and our times. An adventure journey from the depths of German suburbs to the waves of the Atlantic, from the great dreams, neuroses and fights of a woman to the mundane building sites of everyday life, from life to death and back again.

Anna Schäfer tells, plays, analyzes, rages, dissects and sings... wild, surprising, funny, political and personal. An evening for the head, the heart and the soul.

For this program, Anna Schäfer is supported 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, and also 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.
