The audience laughs and claps. It is a short excerpt from her cabaret program "I need new shoes", with the Christian currently in Switzerland tours.

"If you name things, you have the possibility to escape certain Patterns," she says. The stage as a kind of psychotherapy for self and others? To say, "maybe one part," she laughs. "For me it is more of a reality management." Topics but where you doubt yourself, don't speak to you.

What is Clear, is on the stage to understand all the more clearly: "There is an incompatibility between my personal values as a feminist and those that prevail in the society." She speaks in dialect about why you prefer to eat greasy, instead of being engaged in too much sports. She grabs the upper arms, to show that there is more muscle and less fat could be.

Because of The loose life of course also has its price. But to pay the worth. "I don't want to lay my life on at some point in the future," said she. In the audience, no one laughs now, but all the consequences. Christian sits down on the Sofa, turns on the Radio and starts thinking about you being in your own living room.

The topics flow as if by themselves into each other.
