Hagen Rether: Liebe

In the organizer's words:

"We can't save the world? Yes, who else can?" Hagen Rether does not offer his audience classic cabaret, but rather an associative game, a thought-provoking offer. The cabaret artist refuses to reduce complex contexts and social and political absurdities to mere punchlines. He is also not interested in making scapegoats, because after all, the responsibility does not lie solely with "those at the top".

In great detail, Rether links the current with the forgotten, the near with the far, questions, disputes, doubts. He thoroughly shakes up central tenets of Western "civilization" and exposes so-called factual constraints to laughter as collective fictions. With surprising comparisons, he entices the audience to change their perspective - and he calls on us to free ourselves from our often instrumentalized fear and anger.

Rethers LIEBE is tragic, funny, painful, infectious: the constantly mutating program with the same title causes lasting dissatisfaction with simple explanations and encourages us to think and act for ourselves. Change is possible - if we want it.
