Beckumer Spitzen
Barbara Ruscher: "Mother is the beast"
Sharp-tongued, intelligent and charming, the award-winning cabaret lady, WDR radio columnist and single mother Barbara Ruscher, who is well-known from TV programmes ("Nuhr im Ersten", "Ladies Night" and "Mitternachtsspitzen"), once again tackles the burning issues of our time.
"My son asked me the other day what taxes are. I took a 43 per cent bite out of his chocolate bar." This is how she explains her world not only to her offspring, but also to the audience. Everyone is in a self-optimisation frenzy, but who knows exactly who they are? Are you the "earth, wind and eggs" type with a penchant for keeping your own chickens, but against wind turbines as soon as they appear in front of your house? Why is the neighbour a nature-loving stand-up paddling fetishist, but has a gravel garden of horrors in front of the house? Our behaviour is ambivalent and Mother Earth has had enough, says the cabaret artist.
Their performance as part of the "Beckumer Spitzen" promises to be a very funny evening with topics such as patchwork, meat consumption, cancel culture, family, single parents, children's birthdays getting out of hand, the mobility turnaround in recumbent bike mode, climate change, stand-up paddling, racism by rappers and unintentionally in the back of your own head.
Barbara Ruscher is the beast and the best at the same time - unrestrainedly ripping society apart and at the same time the audience's best friend, to whom she offers female satire at its finest, marvellously evil, self-deprecating and above all incredibly funny.
