Diary Slam

Playing time approx. 180 min
Break after approx. 75 min

Dear diary, ...
Yes, that's how they begin, the stories from a long, long time ago, when everything was still alright. When Mom still knew where things were, or didn't know and was therefore to blame if you couldn't find what you were looking for. When a friend could suddenly be annoying, only to bury the argument the next morning and be best friends again. You wrote in your diary secretly for yourself, and now it gets read aloud. Because the most beautiful stories are written by life. There is a lot of laughter that evening, because we don't laugh at each other, but with each other. A journey back to puberty, because we all went through the same thing. It's not just the blush of embarrassment that drives it to our faces, but a bit of schadenfreude, this and that tear, because you double over with laughter. Or a sneaky giggle, a glance to the left, a glance to the right, and you already know you weren't the only one who tried out their first kiss with their best friend, because you had to practice how that works.

THE STANDARD

First diary entry on September 23, 1989, because life was tough in the mountains. After a long hiatus, she is now even writing in her diary daily again, because she still has to diligently provide "reading material." Besides writing in her diary, her heart beats for poetry slams. Since 2004, she has been moderating and organizing poetry slams (monthly Slam B at the Literaturhaus Vienna and many guest performances) and since 2013 also the very successful TAGebuch Slam at TAG in Vienna. It made it to DIE.Nacht on ORF 1 in autumn 2014 with 5 episodes (Dear diary, ...).
