Iris Berben and Anke Engelke are coming to the Alte Oper! With their celebrated programme ‘Komisch! - Iris Berben meets Anke Engelke’, the unique stage duo can be experienced live in Frankfurt for the first time!
What is funny? Is funny funny? Or does funny mean strange? The dictionary contains the following entries: amusing in its effect due to peculiar characteristics, making you laugh AND: peculiar, strange; not to harmonise with someone's ideas, expectations. Amusing or strange? It's been around for a long time. One laughs or wonders. But who laughs at what? And who shakes their head in amazement? Of course there's also something like this between two book covers! Iris Berben and Anke Engelke like comedy - and in their first stage collaboration, they spend an evening reading through the best examples: from Werner Finck to David Foster Wallace, from Voltaire to Monty Python, from Favell Lee Mortimer to Friederike Kempner. It's sure to be a funny evening. But: What's funny again?
