Hagen Rether

In great detail, Hagen Rether links the current with the forgotten, the near with the distant, questions, disputes, doubts. He thoroughly shakes up the central tenets of Western »civilisation«, exposing so-called factual constraints to laughter as collective fictions. With surprising comparisons, he entices the audience to change their perspective - to take a different look at the world, into the future, into the mirror, even to face uncomfortable truths. And he calls on us to free ourselves from our often instrumentalised fear and anger.




Rether’s »Love« is tragic, funny, painful and infectious: the constantly mutating programme with the same title causes lasting dissatisfaction with simple explanations and encourages us to think and act for ourselves. For up to three and a half hours, the cabaret artist makes a passionate plea for enlightenment and compassion, against double standards and consumerist sausages: change is possible - if we want it.
