Inka Meyer - Highway to Health!
Convenartis Kleinkunstverein, Wertheim, Germany
23.5 €
As the saying goes: better to inherit 30 minutes than work 30 years. Inka Meyer inherited plenty from her grandmother: sparkling eyes, quick wit, but unfortunately also an immune system that's more pacifist than fighter when it comes to disease. For half her life, this cabaret performer has been zooming through the healthcare and wellness system like a comet: hitchhiking through the doctor's office. That's how it goes: our fate often lies in our genes. Can you actually escape your own family tree? Yes! "Whoever doesn't believe in miracles isn't a realist," goes Meyer's determined creed!
To bring her family's roots to light, this performer - baptized in North Sea water - ventures to a small Polish village called Jasenitz in search of her great-grandparents' house. In conversations with locals, a translation app becomes essential: for the villagers, Inka Meyer is an attraction, and for Inka Meyer, the locals are equally fascinating.
What exactly she discovers at the end of her journey through former Pomerania won't be revealed in advance. Just this much: her cabaret show is like a surgical procedure, an "Inkavention" that will improve the physical and emotional well-being of all spectators. Because whoever wants to be healthy must laugh! But beware: this person is highly contagious! So: May beetles fly - but please into the cabaret!
