Viktoria Lein
With her heart in two worlds
Born in Kazakhstan. Ended up in Bavaria. And since then, she’s been somewhere between pelmeni, Leberkas, and stage lights. Viktoria Lein sings, plays, tells stories—and brings experiences to the Silbersaal stage that are sometimes funny, sometimes touching, and sometimes so absurd that no one could make them up. It is an evening about differences and similarities – and about what happens when you live in two cultures at the same time with an open soul.
Between two cultures
Viktoria Lein recounts a childhood with clear rules and hearty smells from the kitchen, family traditions that are best not questioned, and situations in which one wonders whether one really understands everything correctly, even though one speaks German.
Between old friends, linguistic stumbling blocks, dentist visits with medieval vibes, and honest confusion about the fact that “Mia san mia” is not a pasta dish, an evening with many perspectives emerges – from the Kazakh steppe directly to the German pedestrian zone.
Personal and authentic
The artist jumps between languages, changes perspectives, brings characters to life who are all somehow real—even if you’d rather not have them in your neighborhood.
An evening full of personal stories, music in many colors, and subtle friction between what was and what is now—sometimes funny, sometimes emotional, but always authentic.
For everyone who can smile about their origins. And about those of others, too.
Because sometimes it takes a second glance to realize how close the unfamiliar can be.
