Eva Karl Faltermeier

Eva Karl Faltermeier has a lot going on behind her ears. With Bavarian sharpness and a penchant for ruthless honesty, she dissects the daily madness—from rural life to the lies we live. In her latest solo performance, she continues to tackle the big questions of everyday life and effortlessly draws the line from coffee grounds to societal analysis.

Her stage persona wobbles like all of us between expectation and exhaustion, origin and self-optimization—and finds a punchline in every dead end. Humor becomes a survival strategy, laughter a therapy against powerlessness and perfectionism. In the end, there remains the optimism that everything is somehow manageable. No one has mentioned 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. She is an artist you can't help but like—at a distance, of course.

“She forms a perfect projection surface for a general state of overwhelm... Stories grow on the edge of a nervous breakdown, where laughter extinguishes frustration” (Sbg. Nachrichten). “As petite as the dark-haired cabaret artist is, her power is concentrated, as she sends her punchlines into the audience” (Passauer Neue Presse).
