Wanted
Michael Niavarani is constantly late, he says, and constantly pressed for time. Someone else should organize his books—like Thomas Mraz, who appears with him on stage in "Encyclopaedia Niavaranica." They organize Niavarani alphabetically.
Encyclopaedia Niavaranica
An evening among friends "Gefühlsecht" (Emotionally Real) is the title and brief description of the content of Michael Niavarani and Viktor Gernot's first double act. They had noted down many titles, including classics such as "Die 2 glorreichen 7" (The Magnificent Seven) and "5 Schwedinnen in Tirol" (Five Swedish Women in Tyrol). So why "Gefühlsecht"? Because it's apt and fitting! A recording from the Simpl cabaret.
