With BORN TO BE CHILD, Alex Kristan will be presenting not just a cabaret program from October 6, 2026, but a way of life. Specifically, one that we far too often forget in “adult mode” because the voice of reason is so loud. The perfect reason for him to continue to follow his guiding principle “Being reasonable is like being dead – only beforehand” without being deterred.

With a sharp eye and an even sharper wit, he dissects the absurdities of modern adulthood. Men with female complexes, silver foxes with aging allergies, or the fitness craze vs. the I’m-always-beautiful lie. Not to forget the Nine-Eleven of the pension system, also known as “Rentenhausen’s Nightmare”: the longevity hype and the romanticized escape “back to nature” in the hope that the supposedly intact world there will last for a while.

For him, being an adult does not mean fulfilling expectations and functioning in the zeitgeist, but fulfilling the promises you made to yourself as a child. Keeping this child – and thus the humor – alive in us is Alex Kristan’s panacea against the seriousness of life.

Alex Kristan and his inner “brat” as a dream team remind us that this is not a dress rehearsal, but the actual main program. Together, they will once again give their audience a proper diaphragmatic workout – with heart, brain and childlike joy.
