Helfried celebrates 25 years: A journey through time to the cabaret universe!

The long -awaited premiere of "Helfried - unchanged new!" took place in the Graz Theatercafé, where the art figure Helfried, embodied by cabaret artist Christian Hölbling, is celebrated after 25 years of stage presence. At the press conference, however, only one journalist appeared who had a lot to oppose the nostalgic charm of the "eternally yesterday" Helfried with her modern view of the digital world. "Helfried is one who stays. No matter how the time goes on, he stays true to himself," said cabaret newcomer Maria Weichesmüller, who decided to re-market the character with the help of social media. In her goal of saving the battered online magazine, it becomes the engine for the realignment of Helfried's figure, as is it steiermark.orf.at describes.

Anniversary tour with fresh wind

Christian Hölbling, who not only represents the character of Helfried himself, but also pulled it up with an ironic undertone, can be seen in the Graz Theater Café from Tuesday to Thursday. He is supported by Maria Weichesmüller, who shares his humor and drives the idea of ​​joint cabaret performances. Hölbling realizes that the figure has changed over the years: "The figure was much rigid at the beginning. Now it has become gentler and sociable," quoted kleinezeitung.at the cabaret artist. Helfried is still described as an archetype of an "upright clown" that thinks in hierarchies and thus unfolds its comedy.

The theater café is of particular importance for Hölbling. It is not only the place where he won the Graz cabaret as a twenty -year -old, but also embodies a nostalgic time capsule for him. Despite the challenges of the modern world, the duo Höling and Softesmüller believes in the magic of live performances: "We believe in natural intelligence. We believe that humor is something direct," emphasizes Höling. After the premiere, "Helfried - unchanged new!" Go on tour through Austria and promise to entertain the audience for the next three to four years.
