Loriot is one of the most influential artists in the German cultural landscape. With his unique eye for the small moments of everyday life and his ability to masterfully bring the seemingly trivial to life, he created timeless works. Through his humorous exploration of West German society, he succeeded in holding up a conciliatory mirror to the German people—an artistic achievement of exceptional value.
This reading evening highlights the linguistic brilliance of Loriot’s texts. Without stage effects or costumes, the sole focus is on the spoken word. Silvio Witt presents even those texts that were originally conceived for multiple characters as solo recitals, thereby highlighting their literary quality.
