Sarah Hakenberg - Ich war's nicht - Female Festival Mönchengladbach 2026

There are times when the last joke has been told and all the cheerful melodies in the world have faded away. But fortunately these times have not yet arrived! Because the singer-songwriter, who has been awarded the "German and Swiss Cabaret Prize", shows that you can laugh about almost anything - even about what hurts.

With sharp-witted songs, biting lyrics and disarming charm, she transforms everyday absurdities into brilliant satire. Poor old white men who can't cope with change are spared just as little as children playing treasure hunt at the abattoir.

Sarah Hakenberg happily hits the keys, strums her ukulele and tells of the abysses that lie dormant within us and the great confusion out there. It may not make the world a better place, but at least it makes it more bearable.

An evening full of wit and wonderful music - bold, clever and wonderfully liberating!
