Gabi Fleisch in Advent – “I have the feeling that it’s good to pause”

On the other hand, you allow us to look very deeply into your soul and share very personal moments with your audience.
I talk about what Christmas used to be like and also get very sentimental when it comes to my mother’s death. She died shortly before Christmas Eve. That was a very impactful experience for me. That always catches up with me at Christmas, because I’ve had a lot of losses in my life – in my family, but also in my circle of friends. And that makes me sentimental until lunchtime – then I pull myself together and celebrate. I thought to myself, I want to tell my mom’s story on stage so that people feel that they are not alone with their fate. Especially on evenings when you want to be particularly happy, such thoughts come and you can then give way to sadness. For me it is also a process of processing my story. And people come to me after the performance and say how beautiful they found it and that they shed a few tears themselves in the darkness of the auditorium.
