On piano: Thomas Dörschel
Erika Köth & Hermann Prey, Fritzi Massary & Max Pallenberg, Hilde Hildebrandt & Gustav Gründgens, Anneliese Rothenberger & Rudolf Schock, Cindy & Bert, Marlene Dietrich & Margo Lion, Baccarat, the Wildecker Jacks of Hearts - no one gets away unscathed.
Hollywood romance (“True Love”), operetta bliss (“Let’s imitate the swallows”) and pop schmalz (“Felicità”) are demolished, dusted off, polished up and repainted. The versatile and magical hermaphrodite princes squeeze the last bit of right to exist from even the most worn-out camels.
And when the fine couple - masterfully accompanied by Thomas Dörschel on the piano - breathes the long-lost life back into the numbers with enormous facial and gestural support, one thing becomes clear: love somehow goes through the ears.
