Expected Entrancement

There is a certain magic about the theatre; and the thing that brings it to life are the players and the musicians who perform it; and Mirijam Ploteny is as spellbinding as she is bewitching and her performances certainly live up to expected entrancement!

Mirijam Ploteny is a character of dimensions. Her “real life” is at one end, and, at the other, the theatre; but, in-between is a melting pot of them both! Where does “real life” end and where does the theatre begin?

Apart from the stage, Mirijam is also a very good teacher of German, and her teaching success lies in the way she is able to involve herself in the characters and interests of her students. This is character study in real

And her work definitely displays the various shades which she has picked up upon her way to where she is now. There are traces and tones of her Italian period, and, of course, there are sprinklings from almost every where else as well. Stage is life, and life is stage, and performing is the conclusion of creativeness!

And creativity is also one her strengths. A replay of her highly successful musical revue, Boudoir Madame CC, is about to begin in Vienna. I went to see it whilst it was playing the first time round and I was amazed by its mixture of daring and comfort.

Along with Caroline Koczan, Kurt Obermair and Gertrude Kisser, Mirijam Ploteny has, in Boudoir Madame CC, succeeded in creating a revue that is full of exciting and hard hitting songs and corners of unimaginable surprises. I enjoyed it very much, and a lot of other people did, too.

Meeting Mirijam Ploteny in real, very much reinforced the impression that I had gained of her whilst watching her in action: a very real person who is able to interpret characters because she is the way that she is, a very deep and understanding person.

She has lived a lot and has experienced much!

Starting in September, for four days only, 20,21,22 and 23rd, Boudoir Madame CC will be playing at the Interkult theatre in the 6th district of Vienna, Fillgradergasse 16.
