Love hurts

Anyone who thought that pop singers and aging actors had a monopoly on moving comebacks is in for a surprise right here and now: The comedy troupe BACKBLECH, which has been showered with praise, is making a comeback—with nearly its original lineup. With Sigi Gall and Cherry Gehring, the two founding members are back, and new guitarist Jens Heckermann rounds out the illustrious lineup.
Grand drama. Intense pain. Bitter tears. Loud screams. Deep longing. Passionate hearts. Yearning glances. Far too often, far too little humor. All in all, our lives are one single, painful love story. Isn’t pain, after all, the logical consequence of a collision between a man and a woman?
There couldn’t have been a better program than “Love Hurts” for BACKBLECH to make a fresh start in their original form. The ingredients: top-notch comedy craftsmanship guaranteed to make you laugh out loud, catchy live music, and this exclusive mix is topped off with drama. Lots and lots of drama. All of this because nothing is more authentic than our lives.
“Love Hurts” tells the interconnected story of a relationship between a woman and a man whose least common denominator is disappointing love—and whose resulting resolution is to avoid any further relationships. The disregard for this “anti-relationship” idea is incredibly laid-back; by the end of a clever evening, none of us will have forgotten that we’re actually laughing at ourselves.
