Mit diesem Vortrag in der Reihe seiner Grammophonlesungen schlägt Jo van Nelsen ein weitgehend tabuisiertes Kapitel der deutschen Kabarett- und Zeitgeschichte auf: KABARETT IM KZ. Ob in Esterwegen, Westerbork oder Theresienstadt – viele der inhaftieren Unterhaltungsstars der Weimarer Republik traten auch hier auf – manchmal heimlich, manchmal auf Befehl.
Dieses Stück fast vergessener, weil problematischer Kulturgeschichte lässt der Frankfurter Musikkabarettist und Kabaretthistoriker Jo van Nelsen in diesem Abend wieder sichtbar werden. Er wird in seinem kenntnisreichen Vortrag von den Schicksalen vieler inhaftierter Künstler (wie Isa Vermehren, Willy Rosen, Paul O´Montis, Kurt Gerron, u.a.) erzählen, ihre Texte lesen, ihre Lieder singen und von Schellackplatten spielen. Seltenes Bild- und Filmmaterial machen auch diese Grammophonlesung wieder zu einer spannenden Zeitreise und einem multimedialen Erlebnis.
Ein weiterer Abend gegen das Vergessen und für das Erinnern an die, die Unterhaltung zu ihrem Lebensinhalt machten, auch hinter Stacheldraht. Und die erleben mussten, dass der gelbe Stern oder der rosa Winkel an ihrer Brust schwerer wog – auch nach dem Kriege.
Und doch ist es auch ein Abend, an dem es viel zu Lachen gibt – denn die vorgestellten Autoren und Interpreten waren einfach Meister ihres Fachs!
Bild: Sven FleischmannWith this lecture in the series of his gramophone readings, Jo van Nelsen opens a largely tabooed chapter of German cabaret and contemporary history: CABARET IN THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS. Whether in Esterwegen, Westerbork, or Theresienstadt - many of the incarcerated entertainment stars of the Weimar Republic also performed here - sometimes secretly, sometimes by order.
The Frankfurt music cabaret artist and cabaret historian Jo van Nelsen brings this almost forgotten, but problematic cultural history back to life in this evening. In his knowledgeable lecture, he will talk about the fates of many imprisoned artists (such as Isa Vermehren, Willy Rosen, Paul O´Montis, Kurt Gerron, among others), read their texts, sing their songs, and play shellac records of them. Rare pictures and film material make this gramophone reading a fascinating journey through time and a multimedia experience once again.
Another evening against forgetting and for remembering those who made entertainment their purpose in life, even behind barbed wire. Those who had to endure that the yellow star or the pink triangle on their chest weighed heavy - even after the war.
Yet, it is also an evening where there is much laughter - because the authors and performers presented were simply masters of their craft!
SEBASTIAN KRÄMER: In the press, the chansonnier is sometimes referred to as a "giant at the piano" or affectionately as a "psychopath." Krämer himself describes his work quite modestly: "Like the Stones, just with music!" Whimsical, sharp-witted, and deep in thought, this East-Westphalian from Berlin is funny but also profoundly philosophical. His musical vocabulary ranges from swing to the Vienna School; he can convey dark romance as well as bitter irony, yet remains consistently cheerful. http://www.sebastiankraemer.de
MARKUS BARTH: The comedian and podcaster from Cologne (originally from Franconia) is a master of maximal-minimalistic stand-up: "One stage, one microphone – everything else I leave to Helene Fischer." In his new, seventh solo program "Pures Gold," he digs everywhere it sparkles – but also where it hurts. He plows through his own biography, dusts off current events, and even looks into the future for his audience. Since March 2024, he has also been hosting the BR cult show "Kabarett aus Franken" on television. http://www.markus-barth.de
Host: ALFONS ALFONS is a cabaret artist, storyteller, expert in strange questions, and has been the host of the SR Gesellschaftsabend for over 15 years. His Franco-German perspective on world events is unique in the German cabaret scene and often leads to astonishing insights. With the character of the "clumsy Frenchman," who struggles with numerous notes and the German language and prompts people to talk with his seemingly harmless questions, he has achieved cult status and has been awarded multiple times: 2019 Bavarian Cabaret Prize, 2020 German Small Arts Prize, 2021 Franco-German Friendship Prize of the HomBuch, and since November 2021, he has also been a recipient of the Federal Cross of Merit. In the society evening, ALFONS addresses the madness and oddities of our society, particularly, but certainly not only, in Germany and France.
