Men, women and other disasters

"Women are sharks. If you give them the little finger, their arm is off," he says. She finds more fault with ordinary men than with Deutsche Bahn. Men and women simply don't go together. The fact that they try again and again gives life its spice and the KIECK Theater's program its content. Using texts by various poets, actress Cornelia Thiele embarks on playful forays where she eavesdrops on Lottchen and her lovers, makes comparisons between men, kisses frogs, says hello to the handsome Mr. Death and narrowly escapes many a catastrophe.

Thomas Kieck, like many a man, hardly gets a chance to speak, but is indispensable as an accompanist on the guitar. And in their interplay you can see it again: how beautifully men and women can complement each other - sometimes even without catastrophes.

Cornelia Thiele and Thomas Kieck have been presenting literary-musical programs combining acting, pantomime and music under the name KIECK-Theater since 1991. They can look back on over 2000 performances to date.

With their mixture of funny, dramatic and thought-provoking short plays, they leave audiences from Basel to Rostock and from Bautzen to Essen laughing, dreaming, smiling and moved. Once you've been to the KIECK Theater, you'll want to come back!
