Chansons and couplets by Kurt Tucholsky
Yes, what was his name? Theobald Tiger? Ignaz Wrobel? Peter Panter? Or Kaspar Hauser after all? Tucholsky gave himself very different names for his literary and journalistic works. Best known for his novel "Rheinsberg: A Picture Book for Lovers", he wrote countless poems and songs. Johannes Kirchberg takes Kurt Tucholsky on a journey of discovery to the beginning of the last century. And he presents the (unfortunately) still current themes in the impressive chanson evening HEUTE ZWISCHEN GESTERN UND MORGEN.
Kirchberg sings Tucholsky, he plays and recites him. With charming ease, he takes us on a journey into Tucholsky's view of the world, telling us about his travels, his love affairs, recipes against the flu, Europe and politics. And he presents Tucholsky's sharp-tongued humor. With songs composed by Hanns Eisler, Olaf Bienert and, above all, Johannes Kirchberg himself.
