THE SPOTLIGHT
Performance by Astronata
April 20, 21 and 23, 2024
Bühne Aarau
Who am I? I am an entertainer. All my life I desperately tried to get into the spotlight. To get attention, a huge audience. I wanted to make this world a better place with my music, to help people not to lose hope. I told myself that it’s my destiny, my life’s mission.

Did I get there? No.
Did I feel like a loser every time I failed to get there?
Have I lost my hope on the way to this spotlight?
Was I blinded by all these ideas?
Did I feel stuck, miserable and like there was no other way?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
