Hans Werner Olm - Hatta
Stadthalle Castrop-Rauxel, Germany
14.4 €
The title HATTA comes from one of his most famous TV and stage sketches, describing a heavyweight male with smelly feet and minor, petty character flaws, marveling at a limousine he could never afford.
Olm has achieved, in the truest sense of the word, everything: a certain virtue, humorous wisdom, and solid steadfastness.
With this programme, he wants to take his audience on a journey that reaches into the borderlands of their own existence - relaxed and laid-back, musical and recitative.
Hatta is a metaphor for self-awareness, resilience, and the essential belief and acceptance of life - as it is.
A stoic principle guides him: it is not external circumstances that make us helpless and jittery - circumstances we cannot control anyway - but rather our usually destructive interpretations of our thoughts about them.
His fans make pilgrimages to theatrical temples of the stage and celebrate the master of refined mischief. Olm makes no effort to please. It is pure and authentic. He cultivates qualities that, in today's polished world, represent an anarchic art form in the most positive sense.
His work demonstrates that the Pavlovian reflex effortlessly transcends all social boundaries. Olm's performances carry an immense, life-changing energy.
Hatta? He has it!
