Sonja Pikart - Stark

This country has so many peaks - and we're not just talking about mountains: Europe's highest swing, the Saarland's largest walk-through wine bottle, the longest summer toboggan run on this side of the Rhine. Superlatives everywhere - and they all demand to be conquered, overcome, vanquished.

In a world that divides everything and everyone into winners and losers, every small town must have something biggest, and every person must transcend themselves. But when strength becomes nothing but an end in itself - isn't every peak simultaneously an abyss?

While high performers break records in the gym, Sonja Pikart discovers the poetry of weakness. While "strong" men devour the planet in their hunger for power, she finds romance in friendship. Then she slides into an existential crisis of meaning right at the peak of a pull-up - and when in the weakest moment of her life someone shouts at her "You're so strong!", Sonja makes an action figure of herself and realizes: now is the time to feel immortal.

Welcome to a programme about heroes and heroines - and those who never were. "Social criticism, sharply observed and distilled, yet wonderfully quirky and funny in its staging: cabaret, refreshingly new." (Badische Zeitung)
