OTTO REUTTER: AND SO WE CAN'T GET OUT OF THE JOY AT ALL

Description

From the series "Berlin Stories" OTTO REUTTER. AND SO WE CAN'T GET OUT OF THE JOY AT ALL Book and direction: Barbara Abend
Musical arrangement: Ute Falkenau
With: Carl Martin Spengler (play, singing) and Jürgen Beyer (piano) Duration: 1 h 55 min (pause after approx. 60 min.) Friedrich Otto August Pfützenreuter left the office chair designated for him in Gardelegen in the Altmark at the end of the 19th century to conquer the boards of this world. With a head full of rhymes and longing for great tragedies, he reached Berlin via detours, where the heart of the world seemed to beat. I then left the serious muse.
At the cheerful one, I knocked shyly.
Now I was at the destination,
Because now I liked it. In the first decades of the new century, in the city bursting at the seams with parade steps, marching music, war cries, the gray consequences, and the "Golden Twenties," he stood, Otto Reutter - with double t - and with big round eyes smiling on stage and knew what moved his audience, because it also moved him. Whoever today is not crazy,
He is not quite normal. The police marked the "suspicious" punchlines with the red pen and sat with sharp ears in the audience. And Reutter – he coughed! He coughed the crossed-out beats! And the whole hall coughed in time with him. The Berliners coughed what to their censor! And Reutter smiled innocently: Had to cough, cough!
What you must, you must!
He sang about everyday stories, small annoyances, and big foolishness, he sang above all for the people from the heart. They loved him for it and for his courage for gallows humor. And the world still goes on cheerfully
Always further… always further. Additional information:
Box office / theater bar from 60 minutes before the performance begins
