Sonja Pikart - Stark

This country has so many peaks - but we're not just talking about mountains: Europe's highest swing, the world's largest walk-through wine bottle in the Saarland, the longest summer toboggan run on this side of the Rhine. Superlatives everywhere - and every single one demands to be conquered, mastered, overcome.

In a world that divides everything and everyone into winners and losers, every small town must have the biggest something, and every person must transcend themselves. But when strength becomes 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, at the highest point of a pull-up, she tumbles into an existential crisis of meaning. And when someone screams "You're so strong!" in the weakest moment of her life, Sonja crafts 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, staged with wonderfully odd and hilarious flair: cabaret, refreshingly new.
