I can say from experience: If you call your child Hazel, you forget about it at the motorway service station. “Hazel Brugger doesn’t make a face when she says sentences like these. In general, her fatalism doesn’t seem to be clouded by any emotional impulses. And yet she seems so approachable that you almost want to give her a comforting hug. The Swiss woman with an American passport, who lives in Germany, is likely to attract many German television viewers from Oliver Welkes Today’s show or Dieter Nuhr’s satirical broadcast Just in the first be known. In April, the former poetry slammer received first prize in the comedy category in the “The Golden Blogger 2021” competition. In addition, Brugger runs two podcasts together with her colleague and husband Thomas Spitzer and regularly publishes YouTube videos. The team has already brought in a wide variety of interview partners, most recently the second man at the helm of the Bildzeitung, Paul Ronzheimer.
She had to break off her last tour “Tropical” due to the pandemic. So she used the time to work on a new program. It will have its German premiere in Cologne on September 14, and Hazel Brugger will try it out in Munich: with the preview of “Do you know this woman?” she will come to the courtyard of the Deutsches Museum from Tuesday, September 7th to 9th. In view of the pandemic-related financial problems of many artist colleagues and her still fresh mother role, she asks herself: “What do I really want – and to what extent is that female?” Questions that she will answer in her typical way in a series of absurd ideas. In keeping with the title, Brugger already advertises with a wanted poster. “Age: 27 years. Height: 180 cm. Weight: 74 kg. Dark blonde hair, green eyes, wears a colorful propeller cap, black top, jeans, white sneakers”. In case it should get lost again.
Hazel Brugger: “Do you know this woman?”, Tues. to Thurs., 7.-9. Sep., 7.30 p.m., inner courtyard of the Deutsches Museum, Museum Island 1, telephone 21837300
