Rubey & Schwarz - LOVE

Simon loves it supersonic,
With drums, lightning, and thunderclaps.
He has chili for breakfast, pure and raw,
And says clearly, logically, anyway!
Simon loves the now, right away!
Best here, most of all there.
He yawns while sprinting, dreams while running,
And gets up before the alarm clock is ringing.
Simon loves the tempo a lot,
But he loves Manuel even more.
Manuel loves quiet laughter,
Thoughtful, well-planned things.
He irons shirts systematically,
And doesn’t find that extreme.
He loves notes, neatly sorted,
Has even archived chance.
He loves a book with a dog-eared page,
And reads the blurb beforehand.
Manuel loves all of this very much,
But he loves his Simon even more.
Love and democracy are in crisis.
Simon Schwarz and Manuel Rubey won’t be able to change that either.
Nevertheless, they have set themselves the goal of understanding love again as a verb.
Starting in January 2027, they will present their second joint stage program.
Wild melodies and big feelings meet small everyday disasters,
And yet always lead back to the question of how we can manage
To choose love again and again despite everything.
