Eh ichs vergesse - The Celebrated Cabaret Programme

A cabaret programme created by and featuring Wolfgang Schaller and Birgit Schaller.

The guest book reads: "Witty, funny, thoughtful, a wonderful celebration of ideas." Another visitor simply wrote: "It wasn't for me." Wolfgang Schaller, with over 50 productions at the Herkuleskeule, awarded the Satire Star on the Cabaret Walk of Fame in 2009 and named Dresdener of the Year in 2018, has long been among Germany's most renowned cabaret authors. The SZ newspaper called them the "dream couple of German cabaret" - she "gilds his texts," many of which, like his politically charged columns in the Sächsische Zeitung, have achieved cult status.

On stage, Birgit Schaller appears as a "comedic singing woman in full force" and Wolfgang Schaller as a "clear-sighted analyst and master of formulation," accompanied on piano by Thomas Wand or Hans-Richard Ludewig. The premiere was greeted with standing ovations. Peter Ensikat called Schaller's texts "entertainment that ceases to be harmless," Dieter Hildebrandt assured him of his "deep respect," and Werner Schneyder saw in him a "man torn between dreamed utopia and reality, between defiance and resignation, between steadfastness and concern."

Birgit Schaller has appeared in three solo programmes and in the ARD show "Ladys Night," and has performed in approximately 30 programmes alongside Wolfgang Stumph, Rainer Bursche, or as a guest at the Staatsoperette. Thomas Wand and Hans-Richard Ludewig alternate as the evening's pianists.
