Mike Zaka Sommerfeldt & Astrid Fünderich: Lieben & (nicht) lieben lassen — Rezeptfreies aus Dr. Kästners Lyrischer Hausapotheke zum Thema Nr.1

In the organizer's words:

An Erich Kästner program with Mike Zaka Sommerfeldt & Astrid Fünderich, on the accordion: Wolfram Karrer

What do the chief inspector and the forensic scientist from the ZDF crime series SOKO Stuttgart do when they're not solving murders?

Actress Astrid Fünderich & her colleague Mike Zaka Sommerfeldt have taken on a famous dead man: Erich Kästner - although already 50 years in the ground, still amazingly alive!

What we often can't make sense of - Mr. Kästner can.

I promise! We've never heard him say it like that. But we've certainly felt it many times. Some things more often than we would have liked. And some things more often.

Heart palpitations, butterflies in the stomach or pulling pains in the abdomen - Dr. Kästner has something for all aches and pains in his medicine cabinet. Without prescription!

Experience the man in the hat (who would have been alive for 125 years this year if he hadn't died 50 years ago), light & heavy girls, disappointed women & excited young men, young lovers & old married couples - presented by Astrid Fünderich & Mike Zaka Sommerfeldt, who slip out of their roles at SOKO Stuttgart for this evening & take to the stage together for the first time.

Are you excited? - We are too!

What drives men and women together and apart again, as well as what they do with each other in the time in between - this has been sung or told about since the beginning of mankind.

Kästner does this in his own way and many will be surprised at how fresh and modern his approach to these topics was then and still is today.

The content ranges from romantic infatuation to the coldness of a "factual romance", from being loved to not being able to love, from lustful pleasure to the sale of the (female) body.

The evening will give both avowed Kästner fans and people who have only seen him from afar & perhaps mainly as a children's book author the opportunity to discover other sides of this versatile author & man.

Biographical details will also be discussed: When "a man gives information", all sorts of interesting & contradictory things can be found - between indestructible mother-love & a fragile three-way relationship...
