Gute Stube: Wenzel Storch

In the organizer's words:

"Gute Stube" presented at the Hoffart Theater in Darmstadt:

"I was there." That's what Wenzel Storch wrote in the guest book of the "Gute Stube" in January 2011, after giving one of his legendary trash readings about his work "Der Bulldozer Gottes". Now the author, director, producer and super-joke jack-of-all-trades is returning to Darmstadt's liveliest backyard cultural living room to kick off the 20th anniversary year of the "Gute Stube" series at the Hoffart Theater. And to mark the occasion, Wenzel Storch is not the only one to break their ironclad principle that each act may only perform once. To mark this glamorous occasion, Wenzel Storch is announcing a full evening from his oeuvre. He talks about the production history of his films, reads from old and new books and throws dirty pictures on the wall. Shows making documentaries such as "Sitting Football and Group Sex" or "The Cumshot in the Confessional". Recalls highlights of Christian sex literature, primers such as "Peter sets the bar higher" and booklets such as "Our peephole", presents rare altar boy pin-ups and plays rare sacropop recordings. In addition, the show will be about toppling backdrops, the art of building houses out of sausage, the world's largest collection of boogers, hitchhikers in a cooking pot and much more. In short: it's going to be one hell of a party.

The "Gute Stube":

The "Gute Stube" is a hearty and trashy backyard culture living room in Darmstadt's Hoffart Theater. Once a month, the converted rooms of a former car repair shop host artists who enjoy a very intimate performance space amidst a cozy backdrop of wing chairs, sixties wallpaper and floor lamps. Niche culture instead of big events, cozy instead of bulky, lo-fi instead of high-fi is the motto of these charming evenings with spirited musicians, sharp-tongued young authors and amusing sound artists. The special concept, which is based on simplicity and goes beyond the mainstream, has already attracted many well-known musicians, international acts and writers and is also very popular with the audience. The events always start at 8.15 p.m., directly after the daily news, which is shown on a TV to start the evening.
