What is right today may be wrong tomorrow - and really wrong the day after tomorrow. Author Anne Vogd tackles this daily pot-wrestling on mined terrain.
Anne Vogd's comedy readings are a 'best of' of readings, comedy and satire and make every dopamine system in the room glow. Her specialty: the 'hot topics' of our time. Sustainability, the cult of the body, mobility, ageing, love and 'the new moralism'. It's about our zeitgeist phenomena, the heated socio-political debates that rage around them and people's search for the perfect coordinates in their personal solar system. The absurdity of the everyday and the everydayness of the absurd are 'carved up' on stage, sometimes loudly, sometimes quietly, but always with plenty of wit, surprising punchlines, absurd perspectives and a vital dose of self-irony. The aim of this entertaining literary performance is to look at things with humor without making fun of them. Anne Vogd takes a witty look at a world order that is constantly changing and poses the question of what you should hold higher in crazy times like these: your head or your middle finger. With heart, attitude and humor, she moves between claims, contradictions and acquittals and nonchalantly fights self-doubt stocks that go far beyond a statistical lifespan. When life is once again too true to be beautiful, this fresh kind of 'literatainment' is the ultimate all-purpose weapon. But also otherwise. Because this amusing reappraisal of the zeitgeist also offers a lot of value beyond the high entertainment factor: it invites you to rethink your own position, makes you want to look at things in new ways and adds a lightness to an overloaded everyday life that often leaves us disoriented.
