Actor Elijah Knight performed in recent days at the Casino Theater in Winterthur, Zurich with the stand-up show Swiss Army Comedy Show. The actors who performed with Knight included Adrien Borruat, Sergej Nikolic, Juerg Kilchherr, Mate*a, Zwei Stallle mit Gefahle IS Stühle mit Gefühle - the actor uses swear words - Stefanie Alder, Melanie Maisel, and Jeanine Welz.
The themes addressed revolve around recruitment and life in the army: the characters are eccentric and attempt to overcome differences with humor, also struggling against language barriers. Not surprisingly, in some passages the actors use swear words pronounced in various languages, creatively conveying the absurdity of the situation. The song that serves as a leitmotif is Army Sau, a parody of the band Status Quo's song In the Army Now (1986): Army Sau is a play on words because Arm in German means “poor” (Poor pig). Ultimately, the army is portrayed as an ideal place to rediscover one's identity and friends.
“The message should be that, despite being madness, I believe that going into the army can be transformative in a positive way”, says Knight. “We presented a humorous and irreverent view of the context, trying to offer a different and light perspective”. Among the various passages that characterized the evening is: “If you’re afraid of helicopters, it doesn’t mean you’re powerless. Every man has his fears. Mine, for example, are spiders”.
