Happy Birthday, Marilyn! Marilyn Monroe: The woman who reached for the stars and burned out. A compelling evening that reveals the person behind the world star: vulnerable, humorous, wise. She once said of herself: "Men go to bed with Marilyn and wake up next to me." Emotionally intense yet quite humorous, with many songs from her famous films, Chris Pichler portrays the phenomenal career of a strong-willed comedienne who wanted to make something great out of her life and broke between naive euphoria and stark despair, even though she simply wanted to be loved, unconditionally and forever. This solo piece follows Marilyn Monroe on the trails of her life, making her complexity and unpredictability tangible. Determined yet doubtful, desired yet profoundly lonely, celebrated yet abused. We primarily know her radiant smile, but do we hear her crying at night? Where are the images of her tyrannizing directors or lying half-naked in delirium? Where is the film producer in a male-dominated industry? Do we recognize her as a brave woman who stood up against the McCarthy trials? And do we remember the girl Norma Jean, running on the beach with flowing hair, full of joy yet deeply lost, always searching for happiness?
After her sensitive solo pieces "Romy Schneider – Two Faces of a Woman" and "Jackie Kennedy," and "Sissi – Empress of Hearts," with which she captivated audiences on stages in Germany (Berliner Ensemble, Hamburger Schauspielhaus, Frankfurt, Cologne), Paris, Austria, and Switzerland, the versatile actress Chris Pichler has once again succeeded in approaching one of the great legends. With her unique ability to portray and her aim to capture the inner depth of this person, she now wins over the audience in the role of the great Marilyn Monroe. "Sophisticated, talented, loved, desperate. The way she embodies this character, illuminating its facets and making its inner turmoil palpable, is impressive and moving." — OÖNachrichten "That Chris Pichler makes the inner conflict of perhaps the world's most famous woman so tangible in her nuanced performance makes this evening, following the impressive Romy Schneider project, a moving and heartfelt experience. When she sings, one is close to the magic, the simultaneously erotic and abyssal energy of this sad girl." — FAZ
