Lisa Eckhart - Ich war mal wer

Lisa Eckhart brings her sharp, provocative cabaret to Görlitz with the program "Ich war mal wer." Known for her biting satire and eccentric stage presence, the Austrian comedian and poetry slam champion delivers a performance that blends dark humor with social commentary. Audiences can expect a night of unflinching wit as Eckhart, who describes herself as "an angry, screaming Austrian," takes aim at taboos and stereotypes.

Eckhart's career has been marked by both acclaim and controversy. After winning the Austrian Poetry Slam Championships in 2015, she developed solo programs like "The Benefits of Vice" and "Empress Stasi the First." Her work often draws on her academic background in German and Slavic studies, with a master's thesis on the devil in German literature. This intellectual edge, combined with her theatrical delivery, creates a unique cabaret experience that challenges and entertains.

For fans of political satire and boundary-pushing comedy, Eckhart's show in Görlitz continues her tradition of exposing societal prejudices through exaggeration, a technique that has drawn both defenders and critics.
