MENSCH, MAMA, CHILL’ DOCH MAL! - Musikkabarett

In the organizer's words:

Man, mom, chill out!(formerly Kinder, Chaos, Comedy) is a mixture of the two successful plays MENSCHENSKINDER and MÜTTERDÄMMERUNG

In the first part, three-time supermom Clara Loft has her thoughts. How can family management be optimized? What are the most effective parenting methods in the 21st century? And why does the nursery have to go on strike today? In the crowded playground, Clara Loft collects material for her project: she wants to write the ultimate parenting guide. Or would she prefer a drama? Let us surprise you! One thing's for sure: there's always a song to be sung about... Franziska Ball sings and plays with sweet and bitter humor about the joys and sorrows of motherhood, accompanied by virtuoso music from Florian Daniel.

In the second part (after the interval), we take a leap in time: supermom Clara Loft struggles with her now pubescent children and has to help her husband through a midlife crisis, while her neighbor is going through the menopause.

Look forward to a musical cabaret that outlines the suffering of a mother with a great deal of humor and music. Interwoven into a pointed conference with turbulent scenic interludes, the rewritten pop and chanson classics from the Beatles to Brahms, from Bach to Offenbach, from ABBA to Queen, from Marlene Dietrich to Zarah Leander take on an astonishing new meaning. Sometimes satirically sharp, fast-paced to coarse, sometimes tender and light as a feather, but always carried by an ironically broken hope that leaves a back door for a happy ending. As the supermom Clara Loft herself finally realizes: The good thing about a comedy is that everyone does everything wrong, but everything turns out well in the end!
