DAS GELD LIEGT AUF DER FENSTERBANK, MARIE | »Advents Edition« | HAMBURG

The money is sitting on the windowsill; Mariehas been delighting audiences for years with her own brand of cabaret. When this real-life couple isn’t engaged in a conversation that’s as entertaining as it is masterful, they perform songs and poems that juggle with language. InADVENTS EDITION, there’s a pre-Christmas reunion with the favorite numbers from past shows and new holiday season hits!

We’ll find out why kids arm themselves on St. Nicholas Eve just to be safe when that old white man sneaks through the house—and why there are definitely seals at the nativity scene, right next to the ox and the donkey! We’ll hear live radio plays and irreverent winter poetry, as well as “Telekolleg” analyses ranging from “Last Christmas” to “Es ist ein Ros entsprungen.” Direct translations of American evergreens into North German and rhyming craft instructions. An evening—as cozy as a pair of Christmas pajamas—but also as prickly as a holly branch! Suitable for tinsel-throwing Advent fans, but also for anti-capitalist Christmas grumps!

The Hanover-based duo has been honored with numerous prestigious awards (e.g., Scharfrichterbeil, Münchner Kaktus, Stuttgarter Besen, Gaul
of Lower Saxony) and has appeared on shows such as DIE ANSTALT (ZDF). The Munich AZ called it “A must-see for fans of cabaret,” and the staid Passauer Neue Presse declared:

“Wiebke Eymess and Friedolin Müller are all of these things rolled into one. They are both fantastic musicians; they are hilarious comedians and situational comedians; they are linguistic acrobats and prolific debaters; and, last but not least, together they perform a truly wonderful parody of today’s young academic couple. Loriot in the 21st century.”D. Walchshäusl, Passauer NP
