Satire with Edge, Chanson with Heart: Kreisler's Cold Feet Brings Stage Poetry to Life
An evening for word acrobatics and barbs: In the Kammerspiele of the Schauspielhaus Bochum, Kreisler's Cold Feet unfolds the theatrical atmosphere of a biographical-musical trip. Veronika Nickl, Mickey Neher, and Jörg Siebenhaar paint a sparkling portrait of the composer and satirist Georg Kreisler – tender, wicked, absurd, and moving. A stage experience that combines humor with insight and attitude.
An Evening Between Bite and Ballad
The production condenses Kreisler's songs and texts into a cleverly structured revue. Fine transitions, precise timing, and an acting craft that balances punchlines and pathos guide through a 20th century full of fractures. The biographical thread holds everything together – with a touch of Hannah Arendt, sharpening thoughts and broadening the view on power, morality, and complicity.
Soundscapes that Tell
At the piano, shimmering harmonies emerge, the drums outline pulsating accents – music as the engine of the narrative. The stage design remains minimal: a scenic resonance space where lighting moods, shadows, and the presence of the performers draw the audience close to text and tone. Thus, an acoustics is created that supports and an intimacy that touches.
Audience Reaction: Laughing, Listening, Reflecting
Where Kreisler's mockery strikes, the punchline jumps like a match; where his melancholy speaks, the hall falls silent. This blend of satirical sharpness and quiet sensitivity shapes the audience reaction – an evening that resonates and ignites discussions in the foyer.
