“Without You I’m Nothing” is an American musical comedy from 1990 starring comedian and singer Sandra Bernhard. The film is based on material from her award-winning one-woman show of the same name, which was produced by Terry Danuser. The film recreates moments from the stage show, with Bernhard often dressed in crazy costumes reminiscent of the character she is portraying, without actually “becoming” that character. The show is repeatedly interrupted by fake interviews in which people such as Bernhard’s supposed manager appear.

Sandra Bernhard made headlines not only as Madonna’s ex-lover. With her bizarre off-Broadway show Without you I’m nothing, she drew the ire of many a big, offended artist such as Diana Ross. She parodies the “decals of American pop culture”, delivers ludicrous monologues and sings Israeli folk songs. “An astonishing performance in this bizarrely funny and prickly satire of pop culture”

The Screening was supplemented and introduced with What It Takes, a Performance by Michel Wagenschütz.
