Ich hatte mich jünger in Erinnerung

The ZIMMER.THEATER at Resi with cabaret artist Hans Gerzlich!
Hans is horrified when he suddenly realizes that he was born in the same year as... old people. During the commercial breaks of his favorite shows, no more seductive aftershaves and fast sports cars are advertised, but Granu Fink, Voltaren, and heat patches. Outside 50, inside 20, he has calculated: If he retires at 67, he can live quite comfortably from it - for eleven days... A best ager in the bloom of decay! In this cabaret program, you will laugh until you're rolling on the floor if you are 50, were 50 once, or plan to be 50 someday. But beware: You will be two hours older afterwards and have quite a few more laugh lines!

„Was ist in meinem Alter sonst noch üblich?“ (Deutschlandpremiere)

With kind support from NORLA (Norwegian Literature Abroad)

Reading and moderated discussion

„Was ist in meinem Alter sonst noch üblich?“ – a very legitimate question many ask themselves. Is 50 the new 40? And 60 the new 50? Are we going to retire at 70 (which is somewhat earlier than before, because it is - supposedly - the new 60)? And does a new honeymoon possibly await in advanced age? Or what else could become "usual"?

Questions upon questions, with very practical and concrete consequences: What if any physical closeness has been absent for years? If one still doesn't want to give in and wants to dare to embark on a new journey? What if the marriage actually breaks apart and one is over 60 years old? Wencke Mühleisen tells the story of an older woman over 60 who must sort her life anew, and finds refreshingly clear words regarding sex and desire. Words that do not settle for "what else is usual."

"I'm with Marie," Erika's husband reveals to her on the last evening of a holiday in Italy, just as she is about to suggest opening up their relationship. For the first-person narrator has long been lacking sex and intimacy in her long-term marriage, and she hopes that opening the marriage will bring new sexual and personal impulses. Instead, she learns that her husband has been getting all of that for a while now from a woman 15 years younger, namely Marie.

This confession hits Erika completely unprepared, and thus a whole world collapses for her. But only temporarily. Soon, a host of questions arise within her. What options does a woman in midlife have after a long marriage? And is her urgent desire for passion and closeness at this advanced age somehow worrying? Wencke Mühleisen writes with nuance and life wisdom about a woman who discovers that one is never too old to approach love anew.

The author addresses in her novel the often still taboo status of physical intimacy and sexuality in women of advanced age.

“Wencke Mühleisen writes clearly, straightforwardly, and intelligently, with empathy for her main character. Heartwarming, witty, and highly readable.” – Mareike Fallwickl

Wencke Mühleisen, born in 1953, has a Norwegian mother and a Slovenian-Austrian father. With “Was ist in meinem Alter sonst noch üblich?” she continues the questions of female self-determination in advanced age after “Alles, wovor ich Angst habe, ist schon passiert.” Wencke Mühleisen is a remarkably courageous woman. In her youth, she worked as a performance artist and was part of the infamous commune of Otto Mühl for almost ten years. She left there and contributed to the criminal prosecution of the sect guru. On the occasion of the Leipzig Book Fair 2025, a notable FAZ podcast was released featuring her on taboo topics such as sexuality in old age.

Finding Hessen

In Hessen there is no way around! Especially not its exciting history. Because those who think it is dry will be proved wrong here: “FINDING HESSEN” stirs up 2000 years of regional history – packed with lively stories
and surprising encounters.

The thrilling time journey begins with the Germans. It continues to the Hessen celebrities of the not so dark Middle Ages and finally to the strong personalities of the last two hundred years, who roamed between Kassel and Darmstadt and shaped our country.

All of this is brought to the stage by the actor Tino Leo – with transformation artistry, pace, and humor. Over two dozen quirky characters, resolute ladies, nobles and commoners honor the stage. It promises to be varied and entertaining. Fun and seriousness intertwine and
depict our land, which bears the lion on its coat of arms.

Hessen’s history is told like never before.

After the break, discussion and moderation by Hans Sarkowicz, German author.

Es ist nur eine Phase, Hase

Comedy by Stefan Vögel with Katja Studt and Götz Otto

Mischa and Christiane are happily married, their son is successfully studying medicine, and so they could actually lead a carefree life. But on Mischa's 50th birthday, his boss offers him not only early retirement but even immediate dismissal with full pension. Mischa, who is still right in the middle of life, suddenly feels old. Very old. Christiane hardly recognizes this whimpering pile of misery. When their best friends arrive for the birthday party, an emotional storm begins to brew: The onset of the age puberty. A racing bike is purchased, a fitness room is built, and the entire previous life plan is turned upside down, so that none of the participants leave the evening unchanged. A highly entertaining evening that shows: Getting old is not for cowards, but laughter helps immensely!

Freely based on the novel by Maxim Leo and Jochen Gutsch

Director: Ute Willing
Stage and costumes: Tom Grasshof

With
Götz Otto, Katja Studt, Thorsten Nindel, Nicola Ransom, and Luis Held

Andreas Pietsch & Marco Pfennig - Er war 16 und ich 31

He was 16 and I was 31 – Or: What does 'Hossa' actually mean?
Who the fuck is this Alice – and what has it been like for her to live next door to Howard for an eternity? What are those ominous seven bridges you have to cross? And why is someone standing on runway zero-three in northeast wind? Andreas Pietsch gives bizarre answers in his texts to unresolved pop music questions about cornfield beds, Greek wine, and tears that do not lie.

The program title indicates where the journey is headed: "He was 16 and I was 31." Here, the young boy does not get to speak, who in the legendary summer hit becomes a man. Instead, the woman who wore only her long hair on her shoulders tells how it really was. On that beautiful day, the last one in August.

As musical accompaniment, Marco Pfennig takes the stage. The guitarist and singer presents the songs close to the original. “This is something to sing along to,” say some. And others hum blissfully to themselves. After each song, Pietsch comes with his texts. And with his teasing.

Er war 16 und ich 31 - Was heißt eigentlich "HOSSA"?

The hits of the 70s are full of riddles. What does Hossa mean? How did the story end with the man who first walked home through suburban streets and then got drunk at a tavern with Greek wine? And by the way: Who the fuck is Alice? – Finally, there are answers. On February 16, 2026, at Kulturboden in Hallstadt.

Author Andreas Pietsch has done his research (at least that's what he calls it). The title of the program shows the way: "Er war 16 und ich 31". In the hit song "Und es war Sommer," Peter Maffay recalls how, at the age of 16, he became a real man with the active support of a 31-year-old woman. But who ever asked how it was for the woman with this kid? Pietsch clarifies and asserts: "My texts lie no more than the tears of Michael Holm."

For two years, the Coburg native has been traveling through the cabaret scene, presenting one bizarre story after another. If someone doesn't remember the old hit lyrics anymore, that's okay! The memories of Fiesta Mexicana and earworms like Ich möcht‘ so gern Dave Dudley hör’n will be refreshed before each "background report." Additionally, Pietsch brings along Marco Pfennig, an experienced musician, who reanimates the songs. Singing along comes naturally.

HASA - Swabian never sounded better

Combining the sound of the 70s with unrefined Swabian – is that possible? And yes, it is! At least when you let HASA grow together in a challengingly relaxed way, uniting what no one has thought to combine before. Accordingly, danceable jazz, rock, blues, reggae, and funk merge with lyrics in dialect that often sound like poems in their onomatopoeic playfulness, sometimes dadaistic, sometimes drawn from real life.
HASA stands for Heiners-All-Star-Attraktion. Heiner Reiff (vocals, guitar, music, and lyrics) has been present on the stages of Baden-Württemberg for many years with Ernst Mantel as "Ernst und Heinrich." The band also includes Caro Saia (vocals), Ralf Schuon (keyboards, vocals, arrangements), Daniel Jakobi (drums), and Ellen Reinhardt (vocals, bass, and space toys).
The band was awarded the Kleinkunstpreis Baden-Württemberg 2022. The jury's conclusion: “So refreshingly different, so perfect, and so skillfully offbeat!” The press writes: “Music comedy from Zappa to Mörike” (Stuttgarter Zeitung). “An absurd total work of art” (AUDIO-stereoplay).
