Bodo Wartke – Wunderpunkt

In the organizer's words:

Abera Kadabera! Fine linguistic wit, surprising rhyme culture and virtuoso piano playing - Bodo Wartke's seventh program called "Wunderpunkt" offers entertaining musical cabaret and an acrobatic tongue twister slam. The entertainer and poet sets amazement against the power of habit and puts humor alongside old patterns. Lightness! - Why not?

In his seventh piano cabaret program, the musician and cabaret artist presents himself as a storyteller who extracts absurdly funny incidents from everyday life with all its inconsistencies and condenses them in both senses of the word. Bodo Wartke takes an exceptionally playful, linguistically and verbally acrobatic, dancing look at the phenomena of our coexistence. In doing so, he draws on the rich fund of the German language and lifts many a vocabulary with a fine sense.

Problems with the printer turn out to be an identity emergency of the technical device stuck in the wrong body. The "egg hole" known from nursery rhymes triggers a hair-raisingly abstruse and at the same time philosophical stream of consciousness in the drowsy musician. And last but not least, the cabaret artist develops well-known tongue twisters into poems and short anarchic stories, which he raps and performs with piano or cajon in various musical genres - tongue twister slams full of rhythm 'n' poetry.

There are always serious tones mixed in with all the lightness. But there is also a hopeful view: what could our world look like if the many sore points of humanity were overcome? There will be many a slip of the tongue and stumble along the way. Bodo Wartke welcomes them, because they are part of the journey to the "Wunderpunkt".
