Lars Eidinger liest und singt Bertolt Brechts „Hauspostille“

In the organizer's words:

Lars Eidinger is considered one of the most important actors of his generation. On March 28, 2026, he will be performing Bertolt Brecht's "Hauspostille" at the Musik- und Kongresshalle in Lübeck. Congenially accompanied by the musician and composer Hans Jörn Brandenburg on piano, harpsichord and harmonium, Lars Eidinger sings and reads from Brecht's collection of poems. Eidinger and Brandenburg take a deep breath of wild Brecht and bring his poetry and "water corpse poetry" to the stage as a dazzling synthesis of the arts. They feast on the eerie beauty of the morbid, which has already served as a model for pop culture icons such as David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Nick Cave.

"Perhaps Eidinger and Brecht would have had an intimate male friendship during their lifetime. Both have the ambition not just to touch or entertain their audience, but to inspire them to think, to change." Leipziger Volkszeitung

"The actor of the moment, someone you talk about, someone you never forget once you've seen him." DIE ZEIT

"Brecht, who saw music very much as an art form, will like it that way. Not as pleasing, but as dangerous." Märkische Allgemeine

"Great art!" BZ

"And all of this calmly at the microphone in a constant light, with sparing gestures and an even, almost fatalistic tone of voice that confidently avoids all false, i.e. all overly emphatic or mannered tongues." Leipziger Volkszeitung

"Hans Jörn Brandenburg accompanies this alternately on piano, harmonium or synthesizer. Weill, Eisler and Bach shimmer like particles, postulating the concentrated economy of "less is more"." Leipziger Volkszeitung

"Heartbreakingly beautiful." Bonner-General Anzeiger
