Finally 50! We're Not Falling Apart So Easily Anymore

Time to celebrate! After the schoolyard, acne, and family planning, the worst is behind us and we're still here! Advertisers call us "Best Agers" and the world is open to us - as long as we have enough money. Sure, many of us can't move without making a sound, and some of us have arms too short to read the fine print. But the signposts on the path to self-fulfillment are only visible to the heart, aren't they?

But listen: the second half of life shouldn't be wasted on bad calendar quotes! Time is ticking, so we need to decide quickly when it comes to self-fulfillment: a master's degree, climbing Mount Everest, or a Me-Time challenge with macramé? Saving the world or wine tasting? How do we keep the joy of life despite the obvious decline?

Dagmar Schönleber knows: fortunately, in our second puberty we have more life experience, gut feeling, and composure. We can only handle half the drinks we used to, but we carry everything with dignity - except beige orthopedic shoes! Through words and music of all kinds, Schönleber combines cleverness with silliness, herself with the audience, warmth with wit, and proclaims: turning 50 is doable, because from now on we are the gold standard!

Dagmar Schönleber stands for intelligent cabaret with heart and conviction, paired with a genuine love of absurdity.
