How to survive with HILDEGARD KNEF – Eine Rettung in zehn Liedern

In the organizer's words:

Guest production by Tommy Wiesner > Hanover

Crisis, struggle and catastrophe - in this world of 2025, unexpected abysses open up every day. And what about us? How are we doing? Where do we get the little bit of strength we need to carry on and on and on?
Dear audience, it's high time for some solid survival training in the theater and a few courageous exercises in collective rebellion.
And who better to help us than Hildegard Knef, the queen of survival skills, who would have celebrated her one hundredth birthday this year?
In this experimental concert performance, a crossover band conjures up Knef as a much-needed mentor from beyond the grave to coach us in social reinvention. The troupe juggles with Knef's life, lyrics and songs, but also with their own life experiences - attempts upon attempts - in order to save themselves together through the force of the transformation into the unknown. Who could we have been?
Let's finally tear open the packaging ... All or nothing!
