Loriot: Szenen einer Ehe at Konzerthaus Berlin

About the Event

“Men and women just don't get along…” – yet they have to get along with each other every day. When the breakfast egg is overcooked in the morning and opinions differ in the evening about how to spend the evening, things get critical. This is exactly what Loriot summed up in his legendary Scenes from a Marriage, published in 1983. His keen sense of interpersonal relationships and the comedy of everyday communication show Loriot to be a sharp‐witted connoisseur of all‐too‐human comedies.

In homage to the grand master of humor, two stage and film greats, Senta Berger and Friedrich von Thun, come together to breathe life and laughter into these scenes. Together and against each other, they struggle with the stumbling blocks that everyday life throws in their path and, of course, with the insurmountable pitfalls of a relationship. Because, as Loriot said, “Marriage is a partnership between two people who are not always on the same page.”
