Robert Meyer: „Zwangsvorstellung - ein Karl Valentin Abend“
Theatre
Theater der Komödie Graz
Information
In this entertaining program, audience favourite Robert Meyer, long-time director of the Vienna Volksoper and member of the Burgtheater and Theater an der Josefstadt, devotes himself to Karl Valentin’s whimsical and philosophical texts and serves up a delicious mixture of monologues and couplets between slapstick, situation comedy and profound wordplay.
His musical accompanist is Helmut Stippich. …
Karl Valentin is considered one of the greatest German-speaking comedians of the 20th century. He took the word at its word, knew the shortcomings of life and reconciled us with them, because “every thing has three sides, a positive, a negative and a funny one”.
A humorous journey into the seemingly absurd, yet highly logical worlds of words and thoughts. A delicious blend of slapstick, situation comedy, linguistic capers and profound wordplay. According to the motto: “Art comes from ability, not from desire, otherwise it would be called art.”
