Matilde Keizer

In her first solo program, “Lasagne im Bett” (Lasagna in Bed), Matilde takes us on a journey through her life. We experience her as an Italian woman in the capital, her “career” as an actress, and her cultural misunderstandings—all with a mother that some might not wish for. But you are lucky enough to be able to laugh about this suffering. With self-irony, Matilde can process everything life throws at her, and with every laugh, you feel lighter. No topic is too taboo for Matilde, and everyone will find something to smile, giggle, or laugh about—so much so that it almost hurts a little. The balancing act between pain and humor. That's Matilde's comedy. And you can enjoy it wholeheartedly. “Lasagna in bed” is wrong, but too good to stop. It's the tomato sauce stain on the bedspread. It's baked cheese for breakfast: it's simply everything you wouldn't otherwise dare to allow yourself.
