Would you like to know what you get for your money here? Of course, of course. (Reading time: 9 seconds)
christine prayon won't be doing cabaret in the conventional sense she is no longer interested in pure criticism of the status quo if there is no talk of alternatives and utopias at the same time she also thinks it's time to save the world but she can't do that on her own which, by the way, she also can't and even less wants to do is to sit at the piano and sing about so-called women's issues she's the wrong person for that if that's what you expect you'll be bitterly disappointed so you'd better not expect anything because your viewing habits will be undermined anyway oh yes and by the way birte schneider isn't on stage tonight either who is that anyway.
Now you know what you're not getting. We won't reveal any more at this point, but Christine Prayon would like to tell you something personally:
Dear audience! With "Abschiedstour" I'm going for the really big feelings, after years of focusing on the really small feelings with my first program "Die Diplom-Animatöse" (because I'm often asked about it: a small feeling is, for example, a medium amount of sympathy for a really good friend). If feelings are important to you, but you also like to think a little to relax, you should definitely take a look at this program. It will be my last. So make sure you get your tickets quickly.
Perhaps the word "farewell tour" triggers astonishment, sadness or even panic in you. That doesn't matter. That's exactly how I and my management intended it. A farewell increases the market value of this cabaret product many times over due to the emotional charge. It doesn't matter which farewell it is:
Is Christine Prayon saying goodbye to the stage? Possibly. From her mid-40s onwards, a woman is an aesthetic provocation and, if she really loves her audience, is better off withdrawing from the public without being asked.
Is cabaret dead? Possibly. When politicians try to be clowns, the clowns run into politics.
Or are we talking about a farewell on a grand scale? The end of capitalism? Possibly. - - FOOLED!!! Of course not possible. Capitalism is the last straw, but there is no alternative. End of the discussion.
So which farewell now? As I said - it doesn't matter. The main thing is that you are now curious.
Christine Prayon, also known as Birte Schneider from the heute show, has already received numerous awards, including the German Cabaret Prize, the German Cabaret Prize and the Dieter Hildebrandt Prize.
