When fame suddenly knocks at the door
With FAMOUS, a pointed solo evening by Markus Barth, the world premiere will take place on November 2, 2026, at the kleinen theater Bad Godesberg. The production combines sharp humor with quiet tragic moments and focuses on the fleeting mechanics of being famous.
An electrician in the spotlight
At the center is Maik Wienand, an electrician from Kerpen, who unexpectedly gains public attention through an appearance on a casting show. The man behind the technical devices becomes the so-called stable boy Maik: media interest, appearances, and even his own CD follow. However, the intoxication of popularity does not last long.
Dramaturgy between comedy and melancholy
The production by Volker Schmalöer exposes the falling height of this story. The stage event thrives on the immediate encounter between the actor and the audience, while Maik unfolds his life story from a basement. In this unusual situation, everyday life, the media world, and self-image collide.
Markus Barth, known from the German comedy and cabaret scene, develops with FAMOUS his first theater play. His experience as an author, stand-up comedian, and satirist shapes the linguistic precision of the evening. The acting art of Sebastian Schlemmer gives Maik's rise and fall a personal, vulnerable contour.
The staging of a fleeting dream
The play questions what lies behind the desire for visibility: Does public success actually mean recognition? Or, after the media frenzy, is there only the silence of the basement left? The direction brings together these contrasts with a sense of timing, rhythm, and atmospheric intensification.
Between pointed dialogues, biographical turns, and moments of quiet disillusionment, a theater evening is created that examines the shine of the stage as much as its shadow. The theater atmosphere thrives on the proximity of the small house and the direct audience reaction.
Conclusion: A solo evening about the price of attention
Visitors can expect a moving and entertaining stage experience between comedy, acting, and social observation. FAMOUS invites reflection on fame, recognition, and the longing for a place in the spotlight. Experience the world premiere live at the kleinen theater Bad Godesberg.
