Where do we come from? Where are we going? What do we eat? For one evening, writer Rudi Habringer and actor Ferry Öllinger will shed light on the most important questions about Christmas in the satire evening “Finally the tree is on fire again”.
There is, for example, Anton Mutschlechner (Öllinger), who has been playing Josef in the local nativity scene for 48 years, consuming four pastors, six Marias and twelve directors. Whereby: When it comes to staging, the Mutschlechner sees himself as the last resort, because the deeper meaning of the phrase “if it has to be with ox and bull, for a night in the emergency quarters” can only be brought closer to the audience in its complexity . Wonderful how Maria (Habringer) peeps curiously from under her headscarf – and still doesn’t get to her words because Joseph is very aware of the importance of his role.
The poems, scenes and songs come from Rudi Habringer, who completely renewed the duo evening and performed it for the first time on Tuesday with a visibly cold “Soko Kitzbühel” star Ferry Öllinger. Both slipped into countless roles at lightning speed and shot the punch lines accurately into the audience. That didn’t bother the fact that some stories seemed a bit out of date and Habringer wasn’t afraid of shallow jokes. For example, from the man who is looking for a gift for his wife that suits her. The advice of your friend: “Stop buying a pleated skirt!” The more humorous the Gospel in the simple Pisa language – including the exclamation of the king at the sight of the divine child: “Bam, Oida, des is jo da Jesus!”
The highlight of the evening is the story of an apartment fire, which is told from different perspectives – from the press service of the Greens (“Climate Catastrophe”) and the People’s Party (“The woman at the stove saves the fire brigade”) to the neighbors from Ghana (“Crazy Christmas”) ), Turkey (“Spasti is burning there! Maybe he will die!”) and from Vorarlberg: “Teifi, Hurgament! Des san Christmas!”
