One room, one woman, a few disco ball shards. Sonja Pikart spent the whole night training, meditating and smoking - both tofu and evil spirits. It didn't help: the world outside the door is still an apocalyptic nightmare - despite the raspberry ice cream and baby sloths. And then there's this artificial intelligence that will soon make us humans superfluous ...
In her new program "Halb Mensch", the multi-award-winning cabaret artist Sonja Pikart embarks on an astonishing and entertaining search for the roots of her own humanity. With acting virtuosity and the courage to address even serious, personal topics with self-irony, black humor and a lot of feeling for tragicomic nuances, she takes the audience on a sci-fi trip, after which one sees ChatGPT & Co. with different eyes.
Sonja Pikart, originally from Aachen, started her cabaret career in Vienna. There she won her first award with her debut program, followed by numerous other prizes, including the Audience Award at the Passau Scharfrichterbeil and first place at the Swiss cabaret competition "Die Krönung". Sonja Pikart, who also appears regularly on TV and radio, is a permanent member of the "Lange Nacht des Kabaretts" ensemble, co-founder of the progressive comedy format "Pub Quiz Bizarre" and host of her own comedy show "Jokes & Popcorn".
