Beste Gäste @ Eckenga mit Frank Goosen und Florian Wintels

Frank Goosen's good prognosis is: "Further life is still in preparation." We certainly hope so. Frank's stories are kitsch-free guided tours through the big world of his homeland. With everything that goes with it. Converted rooms, blocked rooms, dented rooms and what lives in and around them. The staff, the inmates, who become literary figures through the art of Frank Goosen. People you didn't even know you would have liked to meet, but who you are now lucky enough to get to know. To name just one: Frank's granny. The audience is amazed, surprised and delighted by walks with a view of a horizon that has not been nailed shut by the clichés of the Ruhr region. Frank Goosen is not a local poet. He is a poet with a home.

Florian Wintels is one of the most charming, versatile and successful stage protagonists on the German-language slam scene. Some of you may even know that. The fact that the man who won the German-language championships in 2022 is also a highly talented singer and guitarist is something the big wide world really needs to know. Florian is on the verge of shaking up the German singer/songwriter and singer-songwriter scene step by step, from Funny van Dannen to Götz Widmann. With wit, subtlety, plenty of bitter humor and the most brutal mother-in-law charm possible. "Nice to be here" is the name of Florian Wintels' stage program. That's not bragging. It's the pure truth.

The loyal Dortmund-Mitte regular orchestra. The great house band likes to go where it does good musically. Where others work on their instruments, the four of them keep the rooms open.
