Alexander Scheer | Andreas Dresen & Band spielen (nicht nur) Gundermann

In the organizer's words:

Digger driver and songwriter, comrade and rebel, rock singer and family man - Gerhard Gundermann lived intensely, in contradiction and burned out early. He got involved, made mistakes, fought and corrected himself. He brought guilt upon himself and made many people happy with his music. There were and are guys like him everywhere and they offend everywhere. Not just in East Germany, where he came from.

"GUNDERMANN", directed by Andreas Dresen, was the arthouse cinema hit of 2018 and won 6 LOLAs, the German Film Award. A film that was universally acclaimed by the media, but first and foremost one that touches deeply, with a soundtrack that gets under your skin. As the leading actor, Alexander Scheer was awarded the Bavarian Film Prize 2019 and the LOLA. As a self-propelled singer and musician, he received the German Record Critics' Award for the film songs and, incidentally, a place in the top 20 of the German album charts. Scheer, who already fascinated audiences as Keith Richards in "Das wilde Leben" and is currently thrilling audiences as David Bowie at the Schauspielhaus Hamburg, immerses himself deeply in the cosmos and the songs of Gerhard Gundermann. He sounds them out, unfolds an almost magical intensity "with everything he has" and gives it back in concentrated form. The film premiere was accompanied by several acclaimed concerts, some in front of thousands of spectators, by the band Alexander Scheer & Andreas Dresen formed especially for the occasion. This was followed in 2019 by the "Zweitbester Sommer - Tour", which, together with a rapidly growing audience response, turned the band into a concert event quite often. Yet another reason not to stop there, but to keep going (on tour).
