PROGRAM
"Sick of the sun and completely eaten away by rain / Stolen laurel in his tousled hair / He has forgotten all his youth, only not his dreams / Long the roof, never the sky that was above". The "Hauspostille" is punk. A wild Brecht works his way around the edges of the antisocial. He celebrates the cursed and drinks with the outlaws. His dark poetry feasts on the eerie beauty of the morbid - a role model for pop culture icons such as Iggy Pop, Nick Cave and Tim Burton. Seduced, drowned girls in "shallow, brown swampy ponds", murderous lust, horniness, greed and raw violence, in short everything abysmal and dirty that the well-behaved generation of parents shamefully hides behind white curtains, is dragged into the light without taboos. Hypocrisy is exposed with relish. As an actor, Lars Eidinger has a soft spot for characters who have something to hide. In Tatort, he played the only murderer to escape his investigators. At the Brecht Festival in Augsburg, he seamlessly follows on from his role in "Mackie Messer - Brechts Dreigroschenfilm". He takes a deep breath of wild Brecht and brings his poetry to the stage as a radically sparkling Gesamtkunstwerk with musical accompaniment by Hans Jörn Brandenburg.
