THOMAS RÜHMANN »Sugar Man – Das bittersüße Märchen des Sixto Rodriguez«

In the organizer's words:

He is a musician and actor, director of his own theater (on the edge) and a real TV star. Long before Thomas Rühmann, with his doctor's coat and stethoscope, captivated millions of viewers week after week in the ARD series "In aller Freundschaft", he was already on the road with various programs on the stages, concert halls and music clubs of this country.

A true story is told. In three parts. Detroit. Cape Town. Berlin. Trilogy of a trio. Wondrous material. Fake songs. Great cinema. The mystery of the American songwriter Rodriguez is solved. Nobody heard him. No one wanted him. No one knew him. But there were days full of wonder and amazement.

"What Rühmann, who grew up in Magdeburg and attended the famous Ernst Busch acting school in East Berlin, makes of it is a fusion of artistic souls on several levels: The life, feelings and work of the East German singer-songwriters interwoven with the psychedelic folk rock of Rodriguez. The whole thing is reflected in the story of the musician and theater man Thomas Rühmann and his fabulous fellow instrumentalists Monika Herold and Jürgen Ehle. It's madness. Rarely do you experience an evening like this." HNA
