Premiere at Lustspielhaus

Claudia Pichler Nutcracker and Counter-Beer Claudia Pichler is one of a kind: At first glance, the Munich native seems as gentle and charming as a spring morning, dissecting all-too-human abysses in refined language with a Bavarian touch, and skillfully mastering the entire keyboard of comedy. An evening with Fr. Dr. Pichler – she earned her doctorate on none other than Gerhard Polt – combines sharp-tongued social observations with wonderfully dry humor. You don't have to be in a boxing ring to take punches. Life constantly deals liver hooks, gut punches, and neck slaps. Sudden illness, Dad dies, relationship drama, and the hamster is coughing suspiciously too. You constantly have to make momentous decisions, yet you're already hopelessly overwhelmed by everyday questions like buying a new toilet seat. Not to mention global crises! How are you supposed to cope with all that? Definitely not alone. Humans are social beings and function best in cooperation. That's why loneliness is one of the threatening diseases of civilization of our time. Everyone knows it, nobody likes to talk about it.
