Malarina – „Trophy Heist“ In her second solo program, Malarina explores the phenomenon of „trophy women“ from the East. Why do men like Donald Trump or Johann Gudenus choose women from the Balkans? And – how does one become such a woman? Malarina delves into these questions and shows that trophy wives are usually not only visually superior to their men.

Her parents came to Austria as guest workers, their stay was meant to be temporary until the Serbian economy recovered. When her parents finally gave up this hope, they brought their children over and raised them in beautiful Innsbruck. In 2011, Malarina eventually fled to the capital of misanthropy, Vienna, to not further disappoint the Tyrolean expectations of friendliness. She is studying Comparative Literature at the University of Vienna. She is taking her time to finish her studies because she wants to keep the option open to later transition into politics and does not want to be overqualified when the time comes. Since 2019, Malarina has been using cabaret to promote understanding between the Schwabos, Tschuschen, and elite Tschuschen.
