Anna Schäfer - "Sleeping Dogs" - COMEDY THEATER

What doesn't happen in a crazy, sleepless night? Marie, the main character in Anna Schäfer's new and brilliant solo show, knows this problem well. Like many people, she sleeps poorly because she can't stop her thoughts. So every night, all her strange and hilariously funny ideas pop up - the ones she's always wanted to share with her friends, enemies, and the whole world.

In a fast-paced, profound, musical and remarkably witty monologue, Anna Schäfer strikes right at the heart of our times. She plays, sings, and whirls through the big themes that concern her and us. At lightning speed she switches between characters and personas, creating a portrait of our country and its inhabitants - both topical and fantastical, satirical and deeply personal. Pointed, political, and played with wild abandon. A breathless journey through theatre, cabaret, comedy and storytelling.

An evening full of the stories we tell ourselves and each other. The stories that make up our lives.

Anna Schäfer is supported for this programme by theatre writer and Grimme Award winner Dietmar Jacobs (Stromberg, Mord mit Aussicht, Extra 3, Heute Show, Kom(m)ödchen Düsseldorf), director Hans Holzbecher (award-winning satire director, primarily at Kom(m)ödchen Düsseldorf since 2006, and also productions for theatres and musicals such as West Side Story, Jekyll & Hyde), and composer Jochen Kilian (music director at many municipal and state theatres, Theater des Westens in Berlin, composer and arranger for many German-language artists and venues, including Friedrichstadtpalast in Berlin).

An evening that will certainly not leave anyone unmoved.
