Romeo Kaltenbrunner - Heimweh

What's it about?

Romeo has to go home, from Vienna to Upper Austria. His grandma is dying. Again. The journey to his home village is also a journey back in time to his own childhood and youth for Romeo. He meets his old childhood sweetheart again, whom he unfortunately wasn't allowed to kiss back in school. Her family had forbidden it. A little bit because Romeo had the wrong skin color. But mainly because he had too few hectares (Note: Zero). Romeo visits a tent festival at home in the village, where the same band as 15 years ago is still playing, and where the same Nazis as 15 years ago still want to beat him up. It's wonderful when some things in life just always stay the same. Surrounded by the smell of grilled chicken and slightly drunk from a whole box of Jägermeister, Romeo gets nostalgic. Should he not even go back to Vienna, where people are more liberal - but unfortunately also more boring? Is the village here his true home? What is home anyway? Can you be proud of your homeland if you don't know your own father? In his second cabaret program "HEIMWEH", Romeo Kaltenbrunner talks about growing up in the countryside, and what it's like when you look more foreign than your own family name and dialect would suggest.
