Nicht mein Feuer - Gastspiel des Theaters Bielefeld

In the organizer's words:

"We're doing something political"

With the brilliant solo evening "Nicht mein Feuer" by Theater Bielefeld and a soundtrack that she mixes live on stage, actress Christina Huckle makes a guest appearance at TiF - Theater im Fridericianum on Sunday, November 23. In the monologue by author Laura Naumann, Christina Huckle plays a DJane who blows up a glamorous party by telling the guests what nobody wants to hear ...

As a DJ, she has always provided a good mood with grooves and beats at the family parties of Stefan, a successful businessman with a lot of money. He is looking for a theme for his 55th birthday. She suggests: "We'll do something political" to reach the party people with influence, power and money. Stefan replies curtly that he hates activism: "We'll do 'glamor', end of discussion."
At the party, she grabs the microphone after all and talks about everything she has burning questions about. Why is life not equal and fair? Is it okay to be a corrupt asshole because, after all, the system is corrupt? Is there no alternative to exponential growth? She also tells the party guests about the argument she had with Stefan about these and similar topics. Then he suddenly stands behind her for who knows how long: "Get off my property now! I'll report you! You ungrateful piece of shit!"

"Not my fire" tells of despair, repression and helplessness, which always occurs when it has long been clear that the time has come to act, to do something, to become active.

The Neue Westfälische wrote about the evening: "(...) the complex figure of the DJane (is) embodied by Christina Huckle with her vulnerability, her self-doubt, but also her wit and her bravado in such a multi-layered and captivating way that her performance alone makes for an inspiring evening of theater. Very much worth seeing - for all generations."
