Schwetzingen SWR Festival: Boomerland

Piano cabaret with Lars Reichow. Boomers – these are not garden furniture or endangered cuddly toys, but millions of people born around 1960. They live carefree lives, like to laugh, often go to cabaret, drink Prosecco, travel halfway around the world and come to the conclusion: "Well, if I remember correctly, I worked hard. But now it's over. The young people can do the rest..." Yes, there are people who don't feel responsible for saving the earth. Lars Reichow, host of SWR Kultur Monatsrevue and a model boomer himself, points the finger at the largest and most powerful group in our society. Colorful wordplay meets black concert grand piano. Prosperity meets decadence, stubbornness meets immortality. When others are at a loss for words, Reichow lets melodies speak. With velvet paws, he leads his audience into optimism, dreaming of a Germany full of happy people on punctual trains with strong Wi-Fi and a boomer generation whose eyes shine when they think of photovoltaics and heat pumps. Welcome to *Boomerland*. A fun evening in major and minor keys. Daring more transformation – on the keyboard of sophisticated entertainment. Reichow's *Boomerland*: a celebration of artistic freedom – only for democrats.
