Neues Theater Höchst

Lennart Schilgen sees a need for transfiguration. In his second program, he writes and sings songs about painting black and white against an inadequate reality. And between the lines, he exposes where the world and he himself are lying to themselves. It's possible that a few uncomfortable truths will emerge. But don't worry: leaving your comfort zone has rarely been so comfortable! There are party songs for people who don't like going to parties. Break-up songs for people who don't like to break up. And audience participation for people who don't like to participate in things.

With the art of language and subtle, light-footed comedy, he mainly talks about the things he fails at: making decisions. Impressing girls around the campfire. Abolishing capitalism. In return, he succeeds in wresting new facets from the "guy with guitar and piano" concept. Musically adept, he plays with genre traditions and jumps casually between styles and moods: from beatlesque pop to tightly marching protest anthems, from comically creepy stalker ballads to Reinhard Mey parodies.
