A Musical by Rory Six

The one-person musical now finally in Berlin.

EIN WENIG FARBE - that's what Klaus wishes in his life: as a man who is a woman and also wants to live as a woman. And so Helena takes us along on the path of her secret self-discovery, tells of the personal and family ups and downs and the social hurdles to be overcome as a transgender personality.

On the day before the last operation necessary for gender reassignment, Helena reflects once again on how it all came about. Helena used to be called Klaus. Even as a little boy, he felt like dressing up in his mother's clothes and putting on makeup. Klaus is married and has two sons. For a costume party he dresses up as a woman and from then on takes a liking to it. He seeks out clubs where he can be whatever he wants once a week. Klaus doesn't just want to feel like a woman, he wants to be one.

We experience how Helena feels herself, how society, family and the closest circle of friends react to her. The play questions in a humorous and equally clever and compassionate way what is actually "normal" in our society. The wife, who at first distances herself completely from Helena, the children, who don't know whether they should continue to call Dad Dad or Mom - they all find their place with Helena again.

EIN WENIG FARBE is a musical that could not have been written in a more intimate and touching way - with author and musical star Rory Six, who can be seen in 13 different roles.
