ABOUT THE PLAY
Jeanine and Bernadette, two friends in the prime of their lives, want to do something. But just the view from their apartment balcony brings them into a world where real life is at home. The apartment is the stage, the world is the audience, which can hardly stop laughing. Jeanine and Bernadette share stories about their lives as women, in which it mostly revolves around one thing. About men and dogs, about dogs and men. But their own relationship with each other is also not neglected, after all, they are bosom friends.
The crude-comic picture stories of the great French cartoonist from the 1970s, Jean-Marc Reiser, provide the starting point for this comedy full of absurd situations.
ABOUT PETER BLAIKNER
Peter Blaikner was born in 1954 in Zell am See (Austria). He studied German and Romance languages in Salzburg, then spent two years as a lecturer at the University of Poitiers (France) and has since lived as an author, songwriter, and cabaret artist in Salzburg. He began as a songwriter and translator of the songs of the Frenchman Georges Brassens, plays chanson and cabaret programs, writes poetry, stories, plays, musicals (including "Schwejk" with Konstantin Wecker). The book "Aus dem Innergebirg" is a bestseller in his Pinzgau homeland. His children's musicals (music: Cosi M. Goehlert) are known far beyond the borders, are performed with great success, and have reached over a million theatergoers in the German-speaking world ("Ritter Kamenbert," "Das Hausgeisterhaus," "Alex, die Piratenratte," "Astromaxx, der Sternfahrer," "Pommes Fritz und Margarita"). In 2005, he received the Rauriser Förderpreis für Literatur for his novel manuscript "Die Verteidigung des Sommers," a story about the first peasant uprising in the Salzburg region (1462).
Peter Blaikner has always forged his own path, individual and unclassifiable, he has a mischievous spirit and a few dreams in his eyes. Whiners are suspicious to him, he rejects rigid systems; his liberation is laughter. The characters in his plays challenge the audience to laugh, and even if they are mean, they are only ridiculous. He plays with words and sounds, sings and writes about the freedom to set off for new horizons at any time, about the unforeseen, about the greatest adventure, life itself.
