Loriot: Szenen einer Ehe

Why do people who love each other keep getting into arguments? Loriot answered this question with unparalleled humor and a keen sense of the absurdities of everyday life.

In his legendary “Scenes from a Marriage” from 1983, he reveals the comical misunderstandings, minor catastrophes, and affectionate friction that characterize life together as a couple—from a botched breakfast egg to fundamental differences over how to spend free time.

As a tribute to the great humorist, Senta Berger and Friedrich von Thun dedicate themselves to these timeless vignettes of human communication. With charm, wit, and masterful acting, they breathe new life into Loriot’s characters and bring to life both the pitfalls of everyday life and the challenges of a long-term relationship.

An evening full of recognition, subtle observations, and great comedy—entirely in the spirit of Loriot, who knew: “A happy marriage is one in which she is a little blind and he is a little deaf.”
