Music cabaret, film and reading at the end of Landsberg's "Holzwege"

Landsberg - punctually at 4.30 p.m. the world ends. Rain showers, hail and black skies ensure that on the last evening of the “Holzwege” the music cabaret “Zum Blauen Veilchen” also has to move into the tried and tested bad weather stage under the awning of the Alte Wache. At the Dekameron reading and the film “Couldn't be better” it clears up again - and the act and audience can go back to the charming Waldbühne.


Landsberg - punctually at 4.30 p.m. the world ends.

Rain showers, hail and black skies ensure that on the last evening of the “Holzwege” the music cabaret “Zum Blauen Veilchen” also has to move into the tried and tested bad weather stage under the awning of the Alte Wache.

At the Dekameron reading and the film “Couldn't be better” it clears up again - and the act and audience can go back to the charming Waldbühne.

“We'll make a little elevator music,” says Sybille Engels, musician and author, with the first few bars that she's with


Jank Jankovic skirmishes on the guitar - until actress Monica Calla, responsible for the performing part of “Blauen Veilchen”, turns the duo into a trio. Calla and Engels start with "speed poems": two-line text that they sent to each other during the Corona contact ban. A kind of haikus around corona topics - with humor and without syllable counting.


Nevertheless, a musical start would have been better to get the spectators, who were only sparsely present due to the bad weather, on board. It succeeds as soon as the song “Der Plan” starts. Engels is responsible for the compositions: a mixture of rock and songwriter sound, enriched with soul and punk - great. Calla adds speaking episodes including a great joke, while Jankovic grounds the two artists with guitar. The fact that Engels encourages the guests to sing along contributes to the general sense of well-being. And the cheeky, charming, improvised-looking mood of the trio makes you smile.


Callas “Ilse-Dörte, the conspirator” turns out to be a corona-critical homeopathic oath on “soles hike” - appropriately equipped with two fluffy slippers - who takes her knowledge from the school of life, happily in the “light-flooded construction trailer at -35 degrees ". Callas Merkel parody is particularly impressive because of its pronounced facial expressions. Calla-Merkel's picture for Laschet is also nice: If he were to become Chancellor, it would be “like inheriting the house from grandma and just changing the crochet doily”.


A big topic for the trio are women - and the limits set for them from outside. This ranges from Calla's poem about naked female bodies, which preferably end up on the dissecting tables of television thrillers, to a swipe at Dieter Nuhr's gender phobia and subsequent “feminist fight song” to Merz's educational game: Calla is allowed to practice how it is , with the "meant". Maybe omit 'he' and 'in' in general, Calla wonders. What then becomes of Merz is inexpressible.


After about an hour and a half, the violet goes swimming: with the environmental song "Baden go", for which they won a prize at the WWF cabaret competition "At the river dahoam".

During the encore, Engels and Calla live out their silly side and make themselves acrobatically likeable.

It remains to be hoped that on September 4, more people will listen to the “weird three” in the “cultural protection areas” in the inner courtyard of the town hall.


The last day


The "violet" was the prelude to the last act of "Holzwege".

Then Anna Münkel and Robert Valentin Hoffmann read: Münkel's own poems about handbags or jumping into the cold water, Hoffmann from the Decameron by Oskar Maria Graf.

The film "Couldn't get any better" closed the art action.

"All in all it was a great success", summarizes the chairman of the organizing association "Art Keeps Watch" Franz Hartmann.

Especially the DJ project on Saturday evening - a few without rain - attracted many guests to dance.

But the exhibition also met with great interest.

There was food from the kebab stand, drinks were organized by the association.

But now it's time to rest: “We're all pretty tired,” says Hartmann.

16-hour days - the bureaucratic part of the work had to be done in the evening - gnaws at the constitution.

Flexibility and the ability to improvise were required when the technology failed or new solutions had to be found.

Overall, the project was only possible thanks to the many voluntary club helpers.


Nevertheless, the faces of the organizers were rightly satisfied smiles on Sunday.

Because the fact that the Alte Wache is suitable as a place for culture - a goal that Hartmann and the cultural office of the city of Landsberg are striving for (as reported by KREISBOTE) - has once again proven itself in the best quality through the "Holzwege".
