About this event

Judith Altmeyer uses the dating show format as a playground to shed all the romantic baggage that usually comes with matchmaking television. Instead of roses and wedding bells, you get everyday collisions: who does the washing up, who stays home with the child, and who actually defines what counts as a family? The contestants navigate these absurd challenges, and when the façade cracks, that's not embarrassing — it's the whole point. Cue the screaming. That screaming is no accident; it's the musical core of the evening. An understaffed show band demolishes love songs with brute-force metal screaming, turning cheesy ballads into a cathartic wall of noise. The night thrives on the energy between stage and audience: together, outdated role models are gleefully buried while alternative ideas about parenthood and relationships get some breathing room. Every performance takes a different turn because the audience has a say — sometimes funny, sometimes loud, never tame.
