Eva Karl Faltermeier - Ding Dong

Her laconic humor and Bavarian grumpiness are the spice of her jokes. The new program also offers laughter as a coping strategy for dealing with mistakes, goals, and disruptions, as well as the everyday challenges of life. Eva Karl Faltermeier is known for her sharp wit and her unique way of captivating audiences in Bavaria and throughout Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. In her third stage program "Ding Dong," she remains true to her style as she shares her socio-political observations with her audience. The fertile ground for her material often comes from her background and the tricks life plays on her—ideal for drawing conclusions from the small to the large.

Her stage persona once again confronts the multiple challenges of everyday life between unattainable societal norms and cultural roots; an emotional mix that can provoke feelings of powerlessness. This powerlessness is the powerlessness of many. To free herself from it, Eva Karl Faltermeier constructs stories with humor. Her great skill lies in presenting oddities and serious topics with a wink. Laughter as a coping strategy—about time, disruptions, and goals; what one misses, what one has, and where one wants to go. In the end, there remains the hope that everything is somehow manageable. No one has spoken of perfection.

In recent years, Eva Karl Faltermeier has quickly made a name for herself in the scene, receiving and presenting awards, and appearing in and hosting television shows. However, the heart of her artistic work continues to be the live performances, where she plays with passion for her audience. An artist you can't help but like. From a distance, of course. "I want people to laugh, think, and feel comfortable at the same time," says Eva. "Cabaret is for me a way to reflect on the world while bringing people to smile—also about themselves and especially: about my mistakes."

[Eva Karl Faltermeier] serves as a perfect projection surface for a general state of overwhelm. […] Stories grow on the edge of a nervous breakdown, where a laugh extinguishes the grumpiness." (Salzburger Nachrichten) "As petite as the black-haired cabaret artist is, her power is concentrated as she hurls her punchlines into the audience." (Passauer Neue Presse)
