Schwäbisch vom Feinschda: Dichtung, Drama, Deftiges

Swabian from Feinschda: Poetry, Drama, Hearty Fare

Johannes F. Kretschmann has unearthed old and new literary gems of our mother tongue and, together with the “brilliant actress” (SchwäZ) Hanna D. Stauß, a lively, dynamic reading filled with fun, laughter, and nostalgia. “Chatting over a snack in your backpack” is something any smart Swabian can do, but only the true artists among the creators can capture our dialect in written form with all the finesse it deserves. The “first-rate comedian” (SchwaBo) Johannes F. Kretschmann and the “annoying country brat” (Alblust) Hanna D. Stauß from Inneringen will recite works by venerable and contemporary Swabian poets such as Sebastian Blau, Ingrid Koch, and Hugo Brotzer, accompanied by theatrical banter. In between, they spout the most raunchy taunts from Thaddäus Troll’s lexicon of insults and perform a “Goischtergschiicht” penned by Kretschmann. For the dramatic finale, they slip into the roles of Adam and Eve during the Fall from Sebastian Sailer’s “Schwäbischer Schöpfung.” They also bring the latest innovations from Swabian cuisine—vegan recipes for hearty classics—to life in a mouthwatering way. This entertaining “Komeed” is perfect for young and old, for locals and connoisseurs alike
