Andrea Ballschuh - Volle Kanne leben

Andrea Ballschuh has been known for many years as a television presenter - confident, quick-witted, professional. Yet behind the smile lay another side: self-doubt, fear of rejection, and the question of why success doesn't bring fulfillment.

In her multimedia reading, she combines selected passages from her book "Volle Kanne leben" with personal stories, previously unpublished photographs, and clips from television programmes. Humorous anecdotes alternate with moving moments. It is the story of a woman who achieved much that others only dream of - and found inner peace only when success slipped away. What role a television series about Jesus and a twelve-day solo hike along the Westweg played in this journey, Andrea will share this evening.

Kate Nelson and Burkhard Mayer accompany the evening musically with songs that form the soundtrack of Andrea's life. Throughout, the evening poses questions that often go unasked in daily life: What do I base my worth on? What sustains me when the familiar falls away? What gives my life meaning?
