Tina Teubner u. Ben Süverkrüp - Wenn du mich verlässt, komm ich mit
Tina Teubner, gifted comedian, otherworldly musician, core competence in the area of authoritarian love songs, has successfully completed her husband's upbringing and is now looking for new challenges. The boundaries between "private" and "political" can no longer be maintained. The world is burning: Tina dares to look inside.
With her razor-sharp intelligence, irresistible humor, and world-embracing warmth, she stirs up her audience: Don't scratch. Wash!
Tolstoy writes: "Everyone wants to change the world, no one wants to change themselves." How about this business model: Tina changes the world, Ben has to work on himself, and the audience gets to watch.
A laconic description of what one hopes for from good theater: You come out different than you went in. As recently highlighted in the press: "Tina Teubner was, is, and remains the most exciting, sustainable, and entertaining woman in the German cabaret scene."
We believe: two hours with Tina Teubner are as beautiful as first love and as effective as two years on a couch. Go see it!
"Today, mindfulness has conquered the executive suites. Highly paid managers, intoxicated by meditation masturbation music, lie on mats in Brionian suits directing their attention to their big toe.
And then they head to the office and start by firing 120 people. When you're enlightened, it doesn't hurt as much. And moreover, it creates more free space. Mass layoffs, that's Feng Shui taken to its conclusion.
Meditating managers! Give me a break! One has to be suspicious. Anyway: when everyone likes the same thing, extreme caution is required. What does this mass mindfulness mean? Are there really so many people suddenly wanting to expand their consciousness?
Or is our world so cold and corrupted that it’s only bearable if we meditate our minds away??
Is it ultimately a surrender to the system? Wouldn’t revolution be cooler?"
"A ruthless world theater panorama is to be experienced, born of unbridled creativity, with precisely chosen words and songs." | Wormser Zeitung 20.1.18
"A triumph over narrow-mindedness, obsession with achievements, trivialities, and whining on a high consumption level. This evening leaves you mentally refreshed and with laughter-induced tickles." | Fifty Fifty Düsseldorf 10/16
"She hits the mark on what she criticizes. But she never moralistically wags her finger. This delightful evening has moments of peace, but not a single dent. Cabaret? Absolutely not. Tina Teubner is a true great." | Rheinische Post 16.9.16
"Word-intensive and eloquent she is, Tina Teubner, leaving you speechless with a compressed, concentrated linguistic intelligence that pours over all her concerns." | Badische Neueste Nachrichten 20.2.17
"Tina Teubner's new program is a plea for the most human aspects, an explanation for failure, a solidarity message to imperfection. She maintains this level of wisdom, and even Hildegarde Knef somehow looks approvingly over her shoulder: Teubner offers people hope with sophistication, and that is an art form." | Nach(t)kritik Bosco Gauting 2.4.17
"Teubner once again proves that she stands out from the crowd of cabaret artists - as a cabaret performer, chanson singer, and comedian." | Allgemeine Zeitung Mainz 29.4.17
"Wishes don't end at midnight Wishes remain open-ended"
Tina Teubner
Gifted melancholic with a tendency towards humorous solutions, studied music therapy in Vienna and violin in Düsseldorf and Münster. As it became clear early on that she couldn't help but discover the comedy in drama and the abyss in comedy, it was evident that her artistic home is cabaret. For many years now, she has been performing on big and small stages, determined to delight her audience with songs, cabaret, and nonsense. And to shake them awake. She loves Thomas Bernhard, the sea, Pina Bausch, non-scratchy sweaters, Fellini's La Strada, and her husband (mostly anyway).
She is as incapable of mastering the new German spelling as the old one. She tested all her excessive emotional outbursts, which give her programs their unique conciseness, on her husband.
She firmly believes that she was showered with awards only because of this. Including the German Cabaret Prize (1999 & 2010), the German Cabaret Prize (2001), the Gaul of Lower Saxony (2019), and in 2024, she will receive the Salzburg Bull.
She performs throughout the entire German-speaking region. And on the radio. And on television. And in Austria.
Her first book was published in 2014: Men Need Boundaries. An education guide (Lappan Verlag).
In 2018 and 2019, she ensured that listeners started their week with the right attitude through her weekly column on Hessischer Rundfunk.
Ben Süverkrüp
Studied composition and piano extensively at the Folkwang University of Essen. He knows that great art deals with no other topics than cabaret—just more complicated and on expensive pianos. Since the beginning of the millennium, he has been working the pianos of German-speaking cabaret stages with the intention to outshine the Berlin Philharmonic as a one-man band.
However, he loves classical music as much as cabaret, and it's close to his heart to make this love go viral. That's why he often writes and speaks on radio about music (e.g., "Masterpieces" and "Discourse" on WDR3), he teaches piano at the Folkwang University of the Arts, and he hosts chamber music evenings with Stephan Picard, violinist (German Music Competition, International Maria Canals Competition), where Tina must read his stories. For example: Beethoven - Immortality for Advanced; Hercules - On the longing to be human. (musikgedankentheater.de)
Together with Tina Teubner, Ben Süverkrüp is a recipient of the German Cabaret Prize 2010 in the chanson category.
