Production specifics
Commissioned and produced by steirischer herbst ʼ23
Stefanie Sourial’s cabaret deals with the baggage that comes with a cultural trust fund (“Nachlass”). She guides the audience through her journey as a descendant of Egyptian pharaohs all the way down the social ladder to a childhood as a perceived foreigner in rural Austria and the struggles of making a livelihood as an artist in Vienna. Sourial shows how nuanced and complex privilege and inferiority really are, and how they are often just different sides of one coin. She offers practical exercises in destabilizing your perception and your comfort zone.
