Schwetzingen SWR Festival: Boomerland

Piano Cabaret with Lars Reichow. Boomers – they are not garden furniture or endangered stuffed animals, but millions of people born around 1960. They live carefree, love to laugh, often go to cabaret shows, 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 rest should be done by the young ones…” Yes, there are people who feel no responsibility for saving the Earth. Lars Reichow, host of the SWR Culture Monthly Review and a model Boomer himself, points his finger at the largest and most powerful group in our society. Colorful wordplay meets a grand piano. Prosperity meets decadence, stubbornness meets immortality. When others are at a loss for words, Reichow lets melodies speak. On velvet paws, he leads his audience into optimism, dreaming of a Germany filled with 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 funny evening in major and minor. Dare to embrace more transformation – on the keyboard of refined entertainment. Reichow's Boomerland: a celebration of artistic freedom – only for democrats.
