HORST EVERS
"I'm not one to hang myself on the big bell"
Horst Evers tells stories from the here and now: experiences, incidents and observations in which he lovingly, with a lot of wit and a pinch of wisdom, transfigures our everyday life, our increasingly disturbing present into the comical.
Horst Evers tells stories: Reads, shouts, booms, hisses and hums them out that it just has a way about it. There is a lot in this program, as always packed into many small, innocuous stories. But above all, it's great fun.
But it's best to see it for yourself. So far, it has always been very worthwhile for everyone involved.

"Horst Evers tells stories from everyday life. But what begins as unspectacular real-life satire quickly escalates into breathtakingly absurd comedy. Evers' full wit then unfolds on stage. His performance is laconic and characterized by a unique minimalist gestural and mimic precision. As witty as he is wry, Horst Evers is a true master of literary cabaret". (From the laudation of the German Cabaret Prize)
"As if by chance, he discovers the fantastic in the everyday. With his grotesque view of the world, he succeeds time and again in tricking reality." (From the laudation of the German Cabaret Award)
Awarded with the most important prizes in the German-speaking cabaret and cabaret market, he is also the author of numerous bestsellers.
