Tina Teubner is said to live in Cologne and Norderschwei, a town somewhere in the north. However, anyone who spends two hours watching their program “It was always so beautiful without you” in the Lustspielhaus has every reason to doubt the places of residence claimed in Wikipedia. Rather, it seems highly likely that she often sits at the dining table or in the kitchen with a family in the south-east of Munich. Or how in the name of hell does she know about the condescending impetus of the master of the house who lectures about the worlds? How on earth can she describe his facial expression in such detail when he has to CORRECTLY load the dishwasher, which his wife has given insufficiently to insufficient? Or is it possible to lump the male species together in such a way that almost every Max Mustermann feels addressed? All clear, dear conspecifics: of course you can’t. It’s only cabaret.
How good it feels again, this cabaret! Even if, as a man, you don’t get off very well with the strict Mrs. Teubner and only the women laugh at some of the gags. No, it’s not at all rough, she claims, but rather soft like a camembert in summer. Well, more like someone who could save himself in the fridge. Dressed in tails and with a bottle of red wine instead of the obligatory glass of water, the woman in her mid-fifties starts the “problem-oriented evening”, complains about the “phase of the twilight of the Schabracken” and rather bittersweet couple dynamics, so that Marius Müller-Westernhagen comes to mind: “The boy on the white horse – he’s not coming anymore.” Sometimes the award-winning chansonnière (accompanied on the piano by Ben Süverkrüp, director: Thomas Lienenlüke) fiddles and sings with a lot of feeling and poetry, and sometimes she says sentences like “We can breathe and pee – everything else is an encore”. Her tips against depression in old age: live wild and dangerous, create memories! Cast off! OK, will do.
