Lisa Eckhart: I Used to Be Someone

Relentless humor in an eccentric guise: Lisa Eckhart has stormed the German cabaret scene. The native Styrian presents her programs with confidence and dark humor. Quick-witted and unconventional, she captivates her fans.

Description: Lisa Lasselsberger, alias Lisa Eckhart, started on the stages of poetry slams. There, she quickly won over many spectators and won the Austrian Poetry Slam Championships in 2015. Inspired by the greats of literary history, from Goethe to Jelinek, she combines poetry, social criticism, and cabaret in her original programs. She was particularly fascinated by Goethe's famous work, Faust. Her interest in the devilish was already evident in the topic of her master's thesis, which dealt with the figure of the devil in German literature.

Lisa Eckhart is a striking presence on stage. Always elegantly and glamorously dressed, sometimes in Gucci or Armani, sometimes in Versace, she delivers her texts. Her cabaret solo debut "As If You Had Better Things to Do" catapulted her into the ranks of the cabaret A-league. Among many other awards, she won the Austrian and German Small Arts Prize, the Prix Pantheon, and the Salzburg Bull for it.
