Whiskey and Sugar: Comedy about love and loss at the grave
Whe happens when a mourning community turns into a comedy? This is exactly what the visitors of the western Weinviertel (TWW) Theater in Guntersdorf experience, where the premiere of the play "Whiskey and Sugar" takes place on November 16. Despite the serious occasion of a funeral, in this case the mother of Carolin, the story is told in a humorous way.
The play begins with the challenging situation that Carolin, played by a talented ensemble, stands alone at the grave of her famous mother. In addition, there is the unexpected absence of the undertaker and the bizarre circumstances connected to the urn. Instead of the proper burial and a soulful farewell, an unexpected comedy is flipped into an otherwise melancholic scenery. The basic idea that death and laughter are not far apart is treated here in a refreshing way.
The focus on the characters
At the center of history are two women, Eveline Wohlmann and Andrea Nitsche, who fight for their own perspectives and love of a woman who is to be buried in the comedy. It is a game with emotions that leads the spectators into a roller coaster ride of feelings. With a lot of luck and their own speech, the actors bring the characters to life, which makes up the charm of the piece.
The idea behind "Whiskey and Sugar" is to shed light on the deep and often unfathomable emotions about loss and grief in a humorous way. A fine balance between tragedy and comedy is offered to captivate the audience. Especially in challenging times, humor can play an important role in dealing with pain and grief.
The theater has established itself under the direction of the TWW as a special place for critical, but also entertaining plays. This premiere brings a breath of fresh air by lying down the difficulties of life and at the same time conjuring up a smile on the faces of the spectators. "Whiskey and Sugar" could be the perfect occasion to question your own perception of grief and joy.
The combination of serious topics with a humorous narrative style makes the staging a special experience. For everyone who wants to experience an evening full of laughter and thoughtful moments, this theater evening in Guntersdorf is definitely recommended.
