Isaawaahsiin – Cabaret by Marvin Tare

Marvin Tare presents his debut program "Isaawaahsiin" – in Afro-Austrian "It's madness" – at the intersection of stand-up, cabaret, and ethnocomedy. As the son of the Nigerian-Austrian musician Sam Brisibe (known for reggae, soul, and blues) and a social worker from the Ennstal region, he blends African and European influences in his art. His biography – shaped by moves between Styria, Lower Austria, Salzburg, and Vienna – is reflected in the themes: everyday challenges such as finding housing, searching for jobs, or cultural contrasts are processed with wit, sharp punchlines, and interactive crowdwork.

The program combines classic cabaret with modern stand-up elements and musical interludes ranging from hip-hop to African beats to Austrian folk music. Marvin Tare takes the audience on an introspective journey that is both humorous and thought-provoking – and in the finale, impressively captures the everyday madness between two worlds.
