Hagen Rether: Political Cabaret in Ulm

Hagen Rether, a Romanian-born German political cabaret artist and musician, brings his sharp satire to Ulm. Known for his use of a grand piano, Rether's performances blend monologue with piano accompaniment, targeting topics such as politics, religion, media, and globalization.

His show "Liebe" (Love), which he constantly updates, features biting irony aimed at figures like George W. Bush, the Catholic Church, and German pop singer Herbert Grönemeyer. Rether's unique style often includes starting his performance by eating a cup of yoghurt, setting the tone for an evening of incisive commentary.

Attendees can expect a thought-provoking and entertaining experience as Rether alternates between piano pieces and satirical monologues, offering a critical perspective on contemporary issues. His career includes the Deutscher Kleinkunstpreis and a namesake asteroid, underscoring his impact on German cabaret.
