A trash TV satirist, a harpist, an apocalyptic thriller, golden boredom from Italy and a famous theater solo in Berlin: the recommendations of the week from the SZ feature section.
Stand-up: Mirella Precek’s “Trash Paradise”
“His teeth are white / His back is wide / He’s always looking for a fight / We love,” Mirella Precek rewrites the hit “We love” by Shirin David. The German rapper rides onto the stage on a jet ski, while Mirella instead rides on an inflatable swan with a wind machine. Her stand-up stage show “Trash Paradise” shows reality TV, “The Bachelor” and “Love Island”, Mirella comments. She remains true to the recipe for success that made her famous on YouTube: a bunch of absurd video snippets from the cosmos of dating shows and relaxed social criticism. When it comes to body shaming, she lets the audience chant in unison: “We don’t comment on other people’s bodies.” Reality TV is especially fun when you watch the nonsense with others. It is with Mirella Precek Guilty pleasure without Guilt. Emily Weber
