Cabaret: Lisa Eckhart

On February 21, Lisa Eckhart will perform her current program "I Was Once Someone" at the Helmut List Hall in Graz. With a sharp tongue, a pointed pen, and her unmistakable stage presence, the Austrian cabaret artist explores the depths of vanity, downfall, and self-presentation. Between fine irony and biting satire, she dissects the human need for meaning, articulated in a pointed, provocative, and always artful manner. "I Was Once Someone" is a reckoning with the desire for fame, but also a self-ironic play with one's own image. Lisa Eckhart does not shy away from taboos; instead, she uses them as a stylistic stage. In the Helmut List Hall, known for its excellent acoustics and modern atmosphere, this linguistically powerful performance meets an audience eager for thought-provoking insights and unexpected twists.

In Styria, where culture holds a high status, this evening is a clear highlight. The satirical depth, stylistic courage, and razor-sharp punchlines characterize Eckhart's stage art. Her texts are well thought out, powerful in language, and simultaneously entertaining—a rare balancing act that she masters with elegance.

Tickets are available online. The event in the Graz experience region combines literary stage art with social relevance. Those who love language, appreciate humor with depth, and enjoy subtle mockery will not forget this evening anytime soon. "I Was Once Someone" is cabaret that does not preach but challenges—with wit, style, and attitude.
