CABARET
In "Fascination Bavaria", the journey takes us out of the structurally weak Allgäu region, across the Lech river and into the praised university city of Munich. There, Maxi Schafroth meets Starnberg dentist's kids in SUVs, Munich's educated citizens in mustard yellow corduroy pants and hip scene couples with wooden-look glasses.
Maximilian Schafroth spared no effort and no risk in developing his program. He got himself into quite dicey situations, including several years of industrial espionage at a major bank and a three-day internship at a daycare center in Schwabing. Maxi Schafroth turns this biographical crossover into stunning cabaret, always underpinned by the rasping charm of his Allgäu accent. In "Fascination Bavaria", he is once again accompanied by his heart and mind and, above all, by his congenial guitarist and court neighbor Markus Schalk.
"Schafroth breaks down the rural and the petty bourgeois, peasant shrewdness, banker chutzpah and alternative pettiness into their comic banality without making them ridiculous. And hit the mark with the audience."
