Michael Altinger - "Die letzte Tasse Testosteron"
Die letzte Tasse Testosteron
Can a man still be a rascal at the age of 50? Michael Altinger can. For over 30 years, he has been on stage and has maintained a cheeky mischief like no other, which has long since become his trademark. As a master of everyday observation, Michael Altinger relies on his tireless curiosity: He is amazed by people. He marvels at what people do, what they say – and how they say it. And often, he can't stop being astonished. Astonished, the rascal in the prime of his manhood stumbles across the stage through his equally absurd and entertaining social-critical reflections. The raised index finger is not his friend – but self-irony is, and this has gained him numerous fans far beyond the Bavarian borders. The same goes for his stage presence: A true showman, for the energetic firebrand, only one thing matters: It has to rock! Always at the very front edge of the stage, Altinger talks, acts, and plays music, constantly testing his own mental and physical limits.
As passionate as his performance on stage is, the red thread that Michael Altinger elegantly weaves into his programs is equally fine: His stories develop throughout the evening just like his stage characters, taking surprising detours and relentlessly steering towards a dramatic climax. But music also plays an important role: Together with the passionate guitarist Andreas Rother, Michael Altinger fires a solid sound into the audience, rivaling the natural force of his stage presence. Awarded the Passauer Scharfrichterbeil and the Bavarian Cabaret Prize, known from his own TV shows "Schlachthof," "Altinger mittendrin," or "Die Komiker" as well as guest appearances in "Die Anstalt," "Nuhr im Ersten," or "SWR Spätschicht," Michael Altinger has been among the elite of German cabaret for many years. That on the side he also writes books, acts in theater, and was a member of the ensembles of the Munich Laughing and Shooting Society and the Lustspielhaus – these are just a few more facets from the extensive oeuvre of this industrious jack-of-all-trades, who is always good for an entertaining surprise. A rascal indeed.
The new program: Die letzte Tasse Testosteron
We have brilliantly mastered the story. And we toast to that, with non-alcoholic Augustiner at yoga, baking our own sourdough bread after ice bathing, and almost credibly promising our wives that their future will be a fairer one. Also with us. Just as we have found the right mindset for ourselves in downward dog, a global situation arises that screams for yesterday: for lowered combustion engines, for cold-hearted impostors, for big talk and small minds, and old truths in new media. Who will save us from that? Perhaps ourselves? How is that supposed to work? Before we scream for new protectors, we should strive for something else: a hormone. Testosterone is the cause, but also the solution! There isn’t much left of it. Altinger has it. In one cup. The last one.
