Du! An einem dieser Tage (You! On One of Those Days)
Markus Majowski with his solo show “Du! An einem dieser Tage” (You! On One of Those Days).
An evening about those days when the soul takes a wrong turn and the body trots along behind. About those days when a yoghurt suddenly becomes a life decision, your own head has 47 open tabs and your mother has long known how Germany ought to be organised.
Markus Majowski tells stories from his life. About getting older and getting up, about the body and about food, about mindfulness and addiction, about love and sexuality, about public outrage, religion and radicalisation, about money, gold and debt. And again and again about his mother.
She lives in a retirement residence, keeps lists, organises her surroundings with astonishing precision and regards Mon Chéri as a crisis-proof investment. A woman who could turn a dispute over a seat into a diplomatic mission and a box of chocolates into an instrument of international understanding.
From there the path leads straight into our present.
What does constant self-optimisation do to us? Why is mindfulness suddenly suspect? How much outrage can a society take? What does closeness mean in a time full of enemy images? Where does our longing for security come from? And how do you keep your sense of humour when your own body, world politics and online banking all demand attention at the same time?
“Du! An einem dieser Tage” combines autobiographical storytelling, acting, stand-up, political satire and direct encounters with the audience.
Majowski tells of crashes and new beginnings, of his work as an actor and author, of his time on “Let’s Dance”, of personal borderline experiences and of having lived clean for many years. Again and again, personal stories open up a view of larger questions in society.
The evening follows four movements: getting up, feeling, enduring, taking life into your own hands.
Direct. Personal. Funny. Political. Sometimes absurd, sometimes very close.
“Du! An einem dieser Tage” is an evening about us.
About our wonderful contradictions, our fears, our longing for closeness and this astonishing ability to get up again in the morning and carry on.
And somewhere Mother sits with her list, waiting for someone to finally see sense.
Yeah! 2025
Review
Review of the performance on 8 June 2025 at “Die Säule”, Duisburg, then under the title “Hoppla, Mama und ich.”
An evening that stays with you. And one that shows: attitude is not a pose. It is a muscle you can train – in your porridge, in a joke, in love.
