A humorous evening featuring East German rock classics in a new guise. The Leipzig cabaret artists celebrate with music, wit, and a chaotic birthday party. A must for fans of comedy and GDR rock!
Leipzig's cabaret academixer celebrates with 'Da flattert der Ost-Rock' (The East Rock Flutters) a musical-satirical homage to the rock music of the GDR. At the center is Paula, a former rock diva, who is celebrating her 30th birthday for the 50th time—but this time, her niece from Bavaria unexpectedly shows up with her family. While the birthday girl looks back on her musical past, her old band, consisting of Richie, Ronnie, and Rumpel, performs legendary East Rock classics by Karat, Silly, or City in newly arranged, cabaret-style exaggerated versions.
The mix of nostalgia, absurd situational comedy, and virtuosic music ensures an evening that delights both East and West audiences. The cast includes Hannah Blank, Anke Geißler, Rebekka Köbernick, and Felix C. Voigt, along with Ekky Meister (piano/keyboard), Christoph Schenker (bass/cello), and Paul Immel/Björn Kerstan (drums). The script and direction are by Mathias Tretter, with the idea originating from Anke Geißler.
