The genius is stuck! With Kai Magnus Sting and Bastian Pastewka
Kai Magnus Sting is known for top-class cabaret. His recent work “Hömma, so isset!” was dedicated to the people of the Ruhr region and their inimitable local dialect: Ruhrpott received pronunciation, if you will. Now, he turns his attention to a new phenomenon: being stuck. You’re standing in the rain, soaking wet, and you look at your phone and think: “Hmm, that’s strange, the weather app says clear skies.” And you know that you are stuck. Stuck in ways big and little, in day-to-day and exceptional circumstances. No matter what you do, you ultimately realize (and usually too late) that you are stuck. And, once again, you are getting nowhere. To make being stuck and going nowhere a little more interesting, there is Sting’s book: Das Genie steckt fest. A collection of funny stories, bizarre and witty observations and overheard anecdotes – and, of course, coming right from the heart of the Ruhr region. It’s a book to cheer up everyone, wherever they might be stuck right now. The texts will be read aloud by Kai Magnus Sting himself and actor and comedian Bastian Pastewka.
