Soon we will have it behind us: Holy Week,
the last merciless stage of Lent.
But emaciated as they are, doubts are creeping into the hopes of Fritz & Hermann, the board of the Rhenania local history association:
Was the brutal fast worth it? Will they make it to the finish line on Easter Sunday? Will redemption come, even if they get a food attack on Good Friday and can't resist? And what the hell is actually inside that egg? Will it really bring us peace? A new beginning and resurrection after death by torture and crucifixion?
And who laid it in our nest? An overly sex-oriented rabbit named Hare? Was it him who inspired our church staff to indulge in wild fantasies?
Or is it perhaps a cuckoo's egg?
But then who the heck was the cuckoo?
As always, Fritz & Hermann gratefully take this opportunity to finally take stock again. They follow a thousand wishes, regardless of the dangers they may expose themselves to in times of disease, war and climate crises - you never know what's in the eggs! - and they crack them all, even the rotten ones! And accompany us with songs, ideas and prejudices. Popular, bad, old and new and of course, as always, with answers to questions that nobody has asked.
"With Fritz & Hermann, some things really hurt, and some of the "punchlines" will leave those who are squeamish feeling a little uncomfortable. But that's exactly how cabaret works - if it hasn't yet coagulated into comedy, but is uncomfortable, great cabaret whose expiration date doesn't end at the theater exit."
