Operation HEIL!Kräuter in Weiden: Contemporary History Live at the Parapluie

Operation HEIL!Kräuter in Weiden: Cabaret with Depth and Goosebumps

On March 28, 2026, the Parapluie in Weiden will become a stage for an intense event experience: Sebastian Schlagenhaufer and Ramon Bessel will bring back the voices of courageous cabaret artists from the Nazi era. The audience can expect a dense event atmosphere between satire, chanson, and contemporary history.

Between Satire and Contemporary History

The stage program unites selected chansons, texts, and short scenes from historical plays. The range spans from the Munich News under Helmut Käutner, through Werner Finck, to Fritz Grünbaum and the Viennese Werkel – complemented by exile cabaret in the USA. The audience's mood intentionally fluctuates between laughter and reflection; this friction makes the evening so special.

Artistic Signature: Voice and Piano

Cabaret artist Sebastian Schlagenhaufer leads the evening with pointed organization and a clear dramatic thread, while Ramon Bessel at the piano brings the sound colors of the 1930s to life. This creates a coherent event experience that combines artistic excellence with thorough event planning.

Historical Context, Smartly Curated

The two artists present backgrounds on the lives, actions, and fates of the participants from that time – precisely researched and conveyed respectfully. The selection of pieces has been praised multiple times; press reviews highlight the clever dramaturgy and the presence of the duo.
