Lea-Marie & Walter Sittler & the Sextants – Allow me to introduce, Kästner!

Everything began with Erich Kästner's autobiographical text "When I Was a Little Boy" – 20 years ago, at the Theater Heilbronn. More than 550 performances followed throughout the German-speaking world. The Kästner productions of the Stuttgart sagas.ensemble with Walter Sittler are considered the most successful literary stage productions of recent years. Twenty years later, back in Heilbronn. The circle closes. With a fascinating, fully composed stage piece that resembles a musical, Walter Sittler and the sagas.ensemble bid farewell to Erich Kästner, the great German moralist, poet, and children's book author. In this final season, Walter Sittler will share the stage with his daughter Lea-Marie. She plays a revue singer, and he, in his role as Erich Kästner, tells her about the rise of the National Socialists, recounting the intoxication of Berlin in the 1920s. And about the hangover that followed. In the fluorescent "Babylon Berlin" atmosphere, Lea-Marie & Walter Sittler & Die Sextanten create a captivating literary-musical revue from Kästner's life – featuring everything that makes for a great, highly relevant evening on stage: great entertainment and depth. Sometimes melancholic, sometimes serious, but always with a lot of heart and humor.
