Lucy van Kuhl und ihr neues Programm „Geschickt verpackt“

In the organizer's words:

The music cabaret artist and singer-songwriter Lucy van Kuhl is going on tour with her new program "Geschickt verpackt" and is coming to the Neue Schmiede in Bielefeld.

We live in a time in which the packaging often seems more important than the content: every simple chocolate bar is turned into an exclusive taste event through advertising, the janitor is given the exclusive title of facility manager instead of a pay rise and love no longer bounces into our lives with Cupid's random arrow as it used to, but tailor-made and algorithm-based via Tinder and Parship. The German Heinz Günter suddenly wraps himself up in a striped shirt and beret while on vacation in France and is surprised that he is not seen as Jean Pierre despite having a baguette under both arms...packaging isn't everything.

Lucy van Kuhl also packages her insights in her fifth program extremely cleverly: But witty observations are wrapped in gentle piano sounds, tiny marginal observations are given the big poetic magnifying glass and the dreariness of an old people's home is suddenly transformed into a rousing over-80s party by a cloak of fantasy.
