Forgotten Songs, Rekindled: Kästner and Nick on Stage
When Erich Kästner's fine wit meets Edmund Nick's musical sophistication, an extraordinary evening unfolds at the Pasinger Fabrik, blending reading, chanson, and theater. And Sunday It's Raining Anyway takes place on October 30, 2026, at the Small Stage, and brings to life a special artistic friendship in the sound of words.
Literature Meets Chanson
Conny Glogger and Susanne Brantl bring the musical soul of Erich Kästner into the present. Their program narrates, sings, and performs: Kästner's poems encounter Nick's compositions while an atmospheric stage setting for the ears unfolds through pointed language, soft interludes, and musical memories.
An Evening with Historical Resonance
Many of the set poems come from Edmund Nick's personal estate. Among them are handwritten scores, known as autographs. These sources lend a special dramatic tension to the production: From private documents arises a vivid piece of music and theater history.
Between Wit, Melancholy, and Contemporary History
The direction of this evening does not follow a classic plot but rather a musically literary dramaturgy. Kästner's precise observational skills, Nick's artistry in composition, and the lifelong friendship between the two artists combine to create a stage experience full of charm, depth, and nostalgia.
The acoustics of the Small Stage give space to the chansons, while voice, text, and music respond directly to each other. This creates a concentrated theater atmosphere where every word carries weight, and every melody opens a biographical trail.
The Pasinger Fabrik as a Suitable Resonance Space
The former industrial factory in western Munich has been a defining cultural venue in the city since 1991. At the Small Stage, literature, music, and acting arts converge in an intimate spatial effect. Its central location at Pasing Station facilitates travel via S-Bahn lines S3, S4, S6, and S8.
Conclusion: An Evening for Open Ears and Fine Nuances
And Sunday It's Raining Anyway promises not to be a conventional concert or a classic reading but a multifaceted stage experience blending chanson, literature, and memory. Those who love Kästner's language, wish to discover musical rarities, and seek theatrical atmosphere with historical depth will experience an evening that resonates long after.
