Gerd Dudenhöffer - DOD

Description

Friedhofsglocken. Sonor. Düster. Plötzlich kaltweißes Licht. Heinz Becker comes home, from the funeral to the kitchen. In his black suit; 5 callas in hand: "I forgot to throw them into the grave." Instead, they now lie on the kitchen table. What can you do!? "Want another beer?" Obligatory lovable question – in the previous life. From now on, he has to decide for himself. Familiar routine? Broken away. Nothing is as it was. His everyday life – collapsed. Along with this grief. Mournful pensiveness. This awkward helplessness. And slowly he begins to ponder, reflect, process. For over 40 years, Gerd Dudenhöffer, the sensitively sharp ear directly attuned to bourgeois sensitivities, has played his real-satirical, grotesquely authentic art figure as a personified caricature of the narrow-minded, universal person like you and me, the average Joe, whom he pointedly exposes, with perfect timing, sparingly used facial expressions, devoid of any political correctness, always naturally with hearty, often involuntary, because 'Heinz-typical' humor.
