Description
Adrian Wettach, alias Grock, made the world laugh while history raged around him. Apolitical and Swiss through and through, he nevertheless fell into the whirlpool of the Nazi regime. On this evening, actor Philipp Langenegger unfolds Grock's memoirs in all their facets – funny, tragic, brilliant. The music of Madlaina Küng (double bass) and Simon Lüthi (accordion) is more than accompaniment: it becomes the second voice, the heartbeat of this story. An evening full of humor, melancholy, and virtuosity – a piece of world history that hits right in the heart.
