Tina Teubner u. Ben Süverkrüp - Wenn du mich verlässt, komm ich mit

Tina Teubner, gifted comedian, supernatural musician, core competence in the field of authoritarian love songs, has successfully completed her husband's education and is looking for new challenges. The boundaries between "private" and "political" can no longer be maintained. The world is on fire: Tina dares to look inside.
With her razor-sharp intelligence, her irresistible humor and her world-embracing warmth of heart, she startles her audience: Don't scratch. Wash!
Tolstoy writes: "Everyone wants to change the world, no one wants to change themselves." How about the following business model: Tina changes the world, Ben has to work on himself, and the audience gets to watch.
A laconic paraphrase of what you want from good theater: you go out different than you came in. And so the press recently wrote: "Tina Teubner was, is and remains the most exciting, enduring and entertaining woman on the German cabaret scene."
We think: two hours of Tina Teubner are as beautiful as first love and as effective as two years on the couch. Go and see it!

"Today, mindfulness has conquered the boardroom. Highly paid managers lie on mats in Brioni suits, listening to meditation music and focusing their attention on their big toe.
And then off to the office to fire 120 people. When you're enlightened, it doesn't hurt so much. And it also creates more free space. Mass dismissal, that's Feng Shui thought through to the end.
Meditating managers! So please! That makes you wonder. In any case: if everyone thinks the same thing is good, you have to be very careful. What does this mass mindfulness mean? Are there really so many people who suddenly want to expand their consciousness?
Or is our world so cold and corrupt that it can only be endured if we meditate our understanding away?
Is it ultimately a capitulation to the system? Wouldn't revolution be cooler?"

"An unsparing world theater panorama can be experienced, born of unbridled creativity, with precisely chosen words and songs." | Wormser Zeitung 20.1.18

"A victory over small-mindedness, performance mania, trivialities and whining at a high level of consumption. You emerge from this evening mentally rejuvenated and tickled with laughter." | Fifty Fifty Düsseldorf 10/16

"What she denounces is spot on. But she never raises her moralizing index finger. This refreshing evening has quiet islands, but not a single dent. Cabaret? Not at all. Tina Teubner is one of the greats."
| Rheinische Post 16.9.16

"Tina Teubner is eloquent and eloquent, she makes you salivate in the face of a compressed, concentrated linguistic intelligence that pours over all her concerns." | Badische Neueste Nachrichten 20.2.17

"Tina Teubner's new program is a plea for the highly human, a declaration of sympathy for failure, an address of solidarity to imperfection. She still maintains this level of wisdom, and Knef is still somehow looking benevolently over her shoulder: Teubner gives people hope with class, and that is an art."
| Review Bosco Gauting 2.4.17

"Teubner proves once again that she stands out from the crowd of cabaret artists - as a cabaret artist, chanson singer and comedian." | Allgemeine Zeitung Mainz 29.4.17

"Wishes don't end at midnight Wishes are open at the back"

Tina Teubner
a gifted melancholic with a pronounced tendency towards humorous solutions, studied music therapy in Vienna and violin in Düsseldorf and Münster. As it became apparent early on that she could not help but discover the comedy in drama and the abysmal in comedy, it was clear that her artistic home was cabaret. She has been performing on stages large and small for many years, determined to delight her audience with songs, cabaret and mischief. And to shake them awake. She loves Thomas Bernhard, the sea, Pina Bausch, sweaters that don't scratch, Fellini's La Strada and her husband (most of the time anyway).
She has just as little command of the new German spelling as she does of the old. Her excessive emotional outbursts, which give her programs their unique conciseness, have all been tested on her husband.
She firmly believes that this is the only reason she has been showered with awards, including the German Cabaret Prize (1999 & 2010), the German Cabaret Prize (2001), the Gaul of Lower Saxony (2019) and the Salzburger Stier in 2024.
She plays throughout the German-speaking world.And on the radio.
And on television.
But also in Austria.
Her first book was published in 2014: Männer brauchen Grenzen. A parenting guide (Lappan Verlag)
In 2018 and 2019, her weekly column on Hessischer Rundfunk ensured that listeners started the week with the right attitude.

Ben Süverkrüp
studied composition for a very long time at the Folkwang Hochschule Essen and studied piano very thoroughly. He therefore knows that great art does not deal with any different themes than cabaret - only more complicated and on more expensive pianos. Since the beginning of the millennium, he has been working the pianos of German-speaking cabaret stages with the intention of putting the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in the shade as a one-man band.
Nevertheless, he loves classical music just as much as cabaret, and it is a matter close to his heart that this great love should go viral. That's why he often writes and talks about music on the radio (e.g. "Meisterstücke" and "Diskurs" on WDR3), he teaches piano at the Folkwang University of the Arts - and he gives chamber music evenings with Stephan Picard, violin (German Music Competition, International Maria Canals Competition), for which Tina has to read his stories. For example: Beethoven - Immortality for the Advanced; Hercules - On the longing to be human. (musikgedankentheater.de)
Together with Tina Teubner, Ben Süverkrüp is the winner of the 2010 German Cabaret Award in the Chanson category.
