Werner Momsen

In the organizer's words:

Festival KulturImZelt 2026

📍 Bürgerpark, Braunschweig

🗓 August 27 - September 27, 2026

- More than 50 shows from the fields of live concerts, readings, cabaret & comedy. -

Including:

Werner Momsen is different from the others. Skin made of polypropylene, hair made of polyacrylic and nothing but foam inside. Hazardous waste from birth - not an easy life. But he loves it anyway. He's determined by others, but often freer than his companion, who is always in the back. Because Werner can do and say things that only he is allowed to do and say.

The new program "Momsen, Tiere, Sensationen" is a tribute to nature and a suggestion to check into the insect hotel and take a closer look. When cockroaches disappear behind skirting boards without their heads, squirrels hide under their tails when it rains and cockchafers have sex for hours on end. Either the Creator had one in his tea or a good dose of humor!

God supposedly needed six days to create the world and everything that crawls and flies on it. A crazy amount of time to consider everything in advance. He must have gradually realized that this was too ambitious. That's why God has been trying things out again and again for 4.5 billion years. First an animal has wings, then God takes them away again. Land animals suddenly fall into the water after thousands of years, while fish crawl on land. What is his plan?

Of course, it's not easy either, because many requirements have to be reconciled: Walking, sleeping, eating, reproducing. It all has to be possible with one body. The resources are probably also limited. For some snails, it was enough to build a house, but not for others.

"The cabaret program offered a lot of good things and some absolute highlights. Detlef Wutschik with his unique puppet character "Mr. Momsen" was one of them, this team was almost hilarious." - Deister and Weser newspaper

"Werner Momsen, the puppet-faced loudmouth that nobody gets enough of." - Achimer Kreisblatt
