Eva Karl Faltermeier | Ding Dong

Eva Karl Faltermeier is known for her sharp wit and unmistakable style, which has won over audiences across Bavaria and throughout Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

In her third stage show "Ding Dong" she stays true to form, sharing socio-political observations with her audience. Her own background and the curveballs life throws at her provide the raw material - she uses the small and personal to say something about the big and universal.

Her stage persona once again takes on the multiple challenges of everyday life - caught between unattainable social norms and cultural roots. It's an emotional tangle that can tip into a sense of powerlessness. A powerlessness many people recognise. To break free from it, Eva Karl Faltermeier builds stories with humour. Her real skill lies in presenting oddities and the most serious of topics with a wink. Laughter as a coping strategy - for time, ruptures and goals; for what you miss, what you have and where you're headed. In the end, a quiet confidence remains: somehow, it'll all work out. Nobody said anything about perfection.

Over recent years Eva Karl Faltermeier has made a name for herself in the scene, received and presented awards, and appeared on and hosted TV shows. The heart of her work, though, remains the live evenings when she performs for her audience with everything she has. An artist you can't help but like. From a safe distance, of course.

"I want people to laugh, to think, and to feel good at the same time," says Eva. "Cabaret is my way of holding a mirror up to the world and getting people to smile - including at themselves, and above all: at my mistakes."
