Cologne Comedy Festival: René Steinberg - Rebellion und Trallafitti - KölnPremiere
René Steinberg rebels – for more joy in life, community spirit, and kindness. His motto: Laughter is resistance! Laughter takes us further. No fistfight, but a punchline offensive against the adversities of our time. For change.
With depth, wit, and authentic Ruhrpott charm, the trained literary scholar shows that humor can do more than just entertain: He analyzes, connects, shakes things up, and offers hope. Because people can do so much – and the best way to do it is together. That's why his “rebellion” doesn’t come with a raised index finger, but with “Trallafitti” – the most beautiful word for exuberant joy, solidarity, and warmth.
A lively, interactive evening for all who celebrate kindness as the strongest provocation and for whom humor is the strongest form of resistance. Intelligent, warm-hearted, profound – and so entertaining that you don’t even realize how laughter ultimately turns into action. With Trallafitti to rebellion!
Definition: “Trallafitti”, the / the..... colloquial expression from the Rhineland, preferably Ruhr area, for fun, exuberance, partying, or cheerful chaos – for good mood, laughter, joy of life, and sometimes a bit of nonsense. Trallafitti can sometimes transition into the related Halligalli and, in special cases, end with a good bit of Remmidemmi.”
