Romeo Kaltenbrunner: Heimweh

In the organizer's words:

COMEDY

Romeo has to go home, from Vienna to Upper Austria. Grandma is dying. Once again. For Romeo, the trip to his home village is also a journey back in time to his own childhood and youth. He meets his old childhood sweetheart again, whom he was unfortunately not allowed to kiss back in his school days. Her family had forbidden it. A bit because Romeo had the wrong skin color. But mainly because he had too few hectares (note: zero).

At home in the village, Romeo attends a tent festival where the same band is still playing as 15 years ago, and where the same Nazis still want to beat him up as they did 15 years ago. It's wonderful when some things in life just stay the same.

Surrounded by the smell of grilled chicken and slightly drunk on a whole box of Jägermeister, Romeo becomes nostalgic. Should he not return to Vienna in the end, where the people are more liberal - but unfortunately also more bland? Isn't the village here his true home? What is home anyway? Can you be proud of your homeland if you don't know your own father?

In his second cabaret program "HEIMWEH", Romeo Kaltenbrunner talks about growing up in the countryside and what it's like to look more foreign than your family name and dialect would suggest.

Director: Jürgen Marschal

Romeo Kaltenbrunner lives in Vienna and grew up in the Upper Austrian Mühlviertel in the countryside between lowered cars and even lowered tent parties. There he was always asked about his parental roots, as he looks more exotic than his surname sounds
