Cabaret Divertimento are returning to the theatre stages of Switzerland. With them: their sixth, full-length programme "Bucket List", with which they are celebrating their 25th anniversary. "The anniversary is a great opportunity to bring things to the stage that we really want to do again," say Manu Burkart and Jonny Fischer about the development of their new programme "Bucket List". Many ideas were put on the back burner in the past and not pursued further. Over the past few months, Jonny and Manu have dug them out again, honed them, put them in a witty Divertimento-like context and added something new.
The result is a dynamic and - once again - wonderfully colourful show that takes the audience on a journey full of surprises. It shines with splendid slapstick, spontaneous situation comedy and soulful songs with a lyrical wink. At the same time, the two revive their cult characters in a marvellous way. Caretaker Mäge becomes an animal keeper at the zoo, free jazzers Thomas and Markus crash their friendly norms between the opera house and the railway subway and head stoner Gian-Franco finds himself as a stagehand in search of work already done. "Bucket List" is a stage show that leaves nothing to be desired. Or does it? While Manu wants to try out many things on stage, Jonny knows exactly what he does NOT want to play anymore. Understandable, but anyone who knows the two of them knows how that turns out....
