ALFONS - now even more German

"You have been living in Germany for a very long time - would you like to become a German citizen?" What a question - complete nonsense! "I'd never asked myself that question before. I took a close look at the letter first, because I've learnt that you have to be careful in Germany since Gutenberg invented small print in the 15th century. Maybe it says that being German is free for the first year, but then ..." But nothing, no small print, no adverts, official mail instead. "I thought to myself: why not become German? But at the same time: Why actually? You have to realise that being French AND German is a contradiction in terms: Germans are disciplined, punctual and efficient - the French are... normal!" With ALFONS, however, suddenly nothing is normal any more: one minute you're a successful roving reporter with a tracksuit jacket and a fluffy microphone, the next everything is out of balance ..
In his new programme, ALFONS tells the story of how he became German, from his magical, sunny childhood days in France to the beguilingly velvety grey of German offices. And ALFONS does not come alone, but with musical accompaniment: surrounded by the sounds of grand pianos, his story repeatedly becomes a musical pas de deux, sometimes humorous, sometimes thought-provoking, often completely surprising.
"ALFONS - Jetzt noch deutscherer" is a wonderful mélange of theatre and cabaret - and at the same time much more than the sum of these ingredients. An evening with lasting after-effects:
Warmth in the heart - and a hangover in the laugh muscles. The kind you can only experience at ALFONS.
