Neues Theater Höchst

German Cabaret Award 2024: "The Serbian-Austrian cabaret artist Malarina, who comes from an immigrant family, combines personal experience and world events from her unique perspective, skillfully plays with cultural clichés and grabs the audience with the finest political satire from past to present. Her distinctive, charming and morbid humor and clever wit, with which she deals with topics of social relevance in a highly eloquent manner, are unmistakable." In her second solo program, Malarina deals with the phenomenon of "trophy wives" from the East. Why do men like Donald Trump choose women from the Balkans? And - how do you become such a woman yourself?

Malarina gets to the bottom of these questions and shows that trophy wives are usually not only visually superior to their husbands. Malarina has to think about something. Her fame has led to the tax office and social security constantly wanting absurd amounts of money from her. How convenient that she lives in Austria, a country without inheritance tax. Malarina is a bourgeois pseudo-feminist. She prefers to use the patriarchy to her advantage instead of wanting to smash it. So the trophy wife sets off in search of potential partners and dates her way through human history.
