Ildikó von Kürthy – Alt genug – Die Show zum Buch

In the organizer's words:

The show for the new book by number 1 SPIEGEL bestselling author Ildikó von Kürthy is a brilliant stage experience: conversation, singing, reading, showtime! "Old enough" is a plea for serene and conscious ageing. An evening for women in their prime and for men who are also affected. The show for friends who encourage each other and laugh to tears.

She is finally old enough. Old enough for comfortable underwear and uncomfortable truths. She no longer laughs at every stupid joke. She knows where she doesn't belong and is freer than ever. Free to stay. Free to leave. Sometimes she wishes she had been as old and as brave as she is now.

But it doesn't help. You can only mature with time. She also had to grow old enough to write this book: Ildikó von Kürthy has gone through inner and outer states of emergency, mustered a lot of courage, failed again and again, applied to be a top model, said goodbye to her parents' grave and met herself in New York at night: "In this book, I celebrate the power of midlife, the miracle of the midday nap and the precious feeling that we are not alone with all our fears, ideas, doubts, painful goodbyes and the massive simultaneity of light and shadow."

"Old Enough" is a book full of insights and confessions. It is a courageous and honest companion for all those who are on the road beyond midlife and are far from having arrived.

The show accompanying the book is not a reading, but a form of book presentation that has never been seen before: a mixture of reading, singing, theater, comedy and music. "Each of my shows features a celebrity guest star who accompanies me through the program, usually wearing an embarrassing bathrobe and supporting my inner sissy," reveals von Kürthy.
