A Journey Back in Time

After the extensive theater celebration of her 40th anniversary in 2023, Karin made a special journey to the south of Chile in early 2024; a very sparsely populated area with great natural beauty. It was an overwhelming experience, in which it seemed as if she had been taken back in time about fifty years by a time machine; not stressed people living on their mobile phones everywhere, but people who have time and have real conversations with each other.

Intensely feeling a more natural pace of life, which we have long since forgotten here, acted as a huge mirror and led her to a simple conclusion: we need a new renaissance! Just as the Renaissance drew its inspiration from the time of the Greeks and Romans after the dark Middle Ages, we now need inspiration from the past again to struggle out of these dark times. And fifty years ago just happens to be the '70s; freedom, creativity, and the most fantastic music!

In this performance, Karin takes you - in her own unique, humorous way - on a journey in her time machine, to enjoy a time before computers; back to a human scale. Together with her fantastic four-man band, she provides an inspiring performance that arms the audience against the challenges of our time and brings them back to the 21st century with a big smile on their face.
