Political Theater in Amberg: Mayas Kontra inspires on September 30th!
The city of Amberg can look forward to a special highlight! The comedy will be in the city theater on September 30, 2025Maya's Consperformed by Carolina Zimmermann. This entertaining production begins at 7:30 p.m. and promises exciting insights into the world of politics and rhetoric. The piece is produced by the renowned a-gon Theater Munich, which is known for its captivating performances.
The focus of the plot is the protagonist Maya, a 23-year-old newcomer who is determined to gain a foothold in politics. As a member of a liberal-progressive party, she has big plans. But her journey gets off to a rocky start: after a humiliating incident in which she is attacked by Dr. When Christian Stahl, a powerful politician from the opposing side, is publicly attacked, she finds herself in the spotlight. This incident goes viral and brings the unexpected twist that Stahl is forced to mentor Maya as a rhetoric and PR coach.
Enemies become partners
The initially tense relationship between Maya and Stahl gradually turns into an interesting alliance. This is where the theory of rhetoric meets practice, as Maya becomes a talented student under Stahl's guidance. She receives support from Leonard, a new Swiss citizen, and her father, a Syrian intellectual, who encourages her to find her voice.
What makes good rhetoric? This is a question that rhetoric and leadership coach Falko Garbisch also answers in his practice. Rhetoric has its place in many areas of life - be it on stage, in meetings or during presentations. His coaching sessions are designed to make people fit for the “stage of life”. Garbisch, who has over 15 years of experience in speech and language sciences as well as theater, emphasizes that good communication is crucial for personal and professional success. Especially in a political context like thisMaya's Consis discussed, convincing arguments and the correct approach are essential.
A look at development
Over the course of the play, Maya learns that it takes much more than party affiliation to be successful in the political arena. They develop strategies together, but in the end they lose their political positions. Nevertheless, the spark of creativity does not stop. Maya und Stahl entscheiden sich, ihre Erfahrungen weiterzugeben und starten gemeinsam einen Podcast, der die Themen Rhetorik und Politik aufgreift, und sicherlich für viele eine Bereicherung sein wird.
