"Man thinks - God smiles" - cabaret performance by Jörg Wolfgang Becker
Jörg Wolfgang Becker describes his new cabaret program "Der Mensch denkt - Gott lächelt" (Man thinks - God smiles) as philosophical-musical folly with texts and songs from Hüsch to Wecker, Erhardt to Kästner and, last but not least, his own poetic-satirical thoughts and songs.
Becker uses his penchant for the philosophical combined with his delight in subtle clowning and the joy of scurrility to skewer everyday life, human dramas, world defects and present them with surprising punchlines.
He talks about God and the world, sometimes with biting satire, but mostly with a mischievous, overconfident undertone.
Becker skillfully accompanies and combines the texts with musical improvisations, playing with words and sound with relish, sometimes to the point of nonsense.
An entertaining, intelligent program with profound messages that encourages reflection and yet leaves room for confidence and joy.
