Christkind, Whisky, Festgebäck
('Christ Child, whisky, Christmas biscuits')
Small and great Christmas miracles, heartwarming literature, subtle to dark humour and imaginative culinary festive season offers are the fabric of Annett Renneberg's new Christmas programme. The stories and poems are about Christmas Eve apparitions, about festive season crisis management and the question of: 'So who is going to fetch the whisky from the kitchen, then?!'
The result is a contemplative, enjoyable evening that simultaneously invites you to laugh and ponder in a festive Advent atmosphere as you excitedly look forward to Christmas. Seasonal literature classics by Erich Kästner or O. Henry, for example, are joined by contemporary pieces by Donna Leon and Susanne Niemeyer that shine a special light on the miracle of Christmas, crush our perception of Christmas with affectionate irony and at the same time retain its magic.
Annett Renneberg played her first lead in a TV film at the age of thirteen. Since then, she has appeared in over 80 TV and cinema productions. At the theatre, she has performed in Peter Zadek's Salzburg production of Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, for example. She is well-known for her role in the TV adaptations of Donna Leon's Commissario Brunetti novels, the TV series In aller Freundschaft or the three-part miniseries Die Wölfe.
