It’s about age, growing older, and even death. We live until that time comes. Some, however, are already dead before then. So: think about whether there are things you’d like to do and just do them. A topic close to your heart—and one that isn’t easy to tackle, especially if you want to turn it into a thought-provoking “feel-good program.”
With plenty of humor, sharp wit, and cheeky, risqué wordplay, your funny bone won’t be left out.
As “Hilde Becker” from the ARD cult series “Familie Heinz Becker,” Alice Hoffmann became known nationwide for her signature role as the naive, sweet but simple-minded housewife. Year after year, she makes millions of viewers laugh in front of their televisions.
About the play: In “Torschlusspanik,” Alice Hoffmann reaches a point in her life as a housewife where she wonders if she has really done everything she ever wanted to do: a senior driver’s license, Ayurvedic treatments, learning a new language, or falling madly in love all over again. Of course, things turn out differently. Once again, it becomes clear that life isn’t a wish list. Whether it’s getting a tattoo that reads, “Better painted than scarred by life,” the coffee-to-go that’s enough to make you run away, or the “wisdom” that in old age one “regrets the sins one never committed”— —all these are thoughts she humorously examines through the character of the Saarland housewife. Using Tinder, the online dating app, she meets “Jesus,” who wants 25,000 euros from her and comes from Lisbon. In the end, however, the 80-year-old biology student wins... She incorporates women’s issues and emancipation in a “disarming way,” always keeping up with the times. And so it is that Facebook and the like also have their place.
