Hans Werner Olm

The title HATTA comes from one of Olm's most famous TV and stage sketches: it depicts a heavy, overweight male with foot odor and petty, miserable character flaws admiring a luxury car he cannot afford.

With this programme, Hans Werner Olm takes his audience on a journey to the very edges of existence - relaxed and chilled, musical and recitative. Hatta stands as a metaphor for self-awareness, resilience, and acceptance of life as it is. Olm follows a stoic guide: it is not the external circumstances we cannot control that render us helpless - but rather the usually destructive interpretations of our thoughts about them.

Olm makes no effort to please. What he shows on stage is pure and authentic - polished mischief as an anarchic art form in the best sense.

Hatta? He's got it!
