Riedel & Meister - "Gute Momente"

Susanne M. Riedel writes stories, Lukas Meister writes songs. In their first joint programme, these Berlin cabaret stars go in search of good moments, presenting the glittering finds of their expedition with optimistic defiance, tender melancholy and heartfelt humour.

There is reading and singing - sometimes solo, sometimes in two voices, accompanied by piano, guitar or nothing at all. With sharp observation and disarming warmth, they hit the quiet notes as readily as the comic nerve.

Alone they are already something special - together they are a sensation.

Lukas Meister: Lukas Meister is a singer-songwriter of rare quality. To sing of an uncertain future with serene wistfulness, to speak of love and light, and then in the next breath stand on the Kudamm in Simon & Garfunkel fashion and announce the arrival of spring - that takes real skill.

Susanne M. Riedel: In her humorous short stories she roams between climate crisis and menopause, feminism and fairy dust, parties and package inserts. Susanne M. Riedel is an author, columnist and expert in cheerful wilting. Known as "Blume von Steglitz", she is one of the leading figures of the Berlin literary reading scene and a member of the spirited all-women quartet Textbomben.
