An evening full of subtle humour, sharp wit and the timeless art of observation awaits the audience when two of the most renowned actors in German-language television and theatre, Senta Berger and Friedrich von Thun, immerse themselves in the humorous world of Loriot. Under the title »Scenes from a Marriage«, they present a selection of trenchant sketches, dialogues and texts about the eternal mystery between husband and wife – masterfully written by the unforgotten Vicco von Bülow alias Loriot.
With their unmistakable voices, subtle irony and a great sense of comedic timing, Senta Berger and Friedrich von Thun bring Loriot’s married couples, relationship crises and everyday absurdities to life at the highest level. The typical Loriot characters – as exaggerated as they are human – show how close the tragicomic often is to the real.
The reading will be accompanied by Maria Reiter’s virtuoso accordion, which will provide a musical frame and atmospheric accompaniment to the evening. The music sets accentuated nuances that underline Loriot’s subtle humour and transform the literary evening into an atmospherically dense overall experience.
A feast for Loriot lovers, theatre enthusiasts and all those who love the charming, pointed look at the human element in everyday life. And, of course, an evening with the wonderful acting greats Senta Berger and Friedrich von Thun.
