Oh You Creepy Christmas Time – BlankWeinek Ignites Sparkling Stage Fire at NUTS

An evening between sharp-tongued reading and live-played songs: The Bavarian actor and singer Harry Blank and the Styrian author and musician Andreas Weinek bring their Christmas reading of the somewhat different kind to Traunstein. Humor meets abyss, chanson hugs satire – a stage experience that makes the theater atmosphere at NUTS noticeably vibrate.

Staged Word Delight: When Laughter Gets Stuck in the Throat

Mischievous Santas, drunken St. Nicholas, nerve-wracking family rituals – BlankWeinek dissects the dark sides of the tranquil season with pointed dramaturgy. The acting talent of Harry Blank, familiar to many from the BR series Dahoam is Dahoam, meets the literary-musical spirit of composer and author Andreas Weinek. This creates miniatures that shift between comedy and unease.

Sound Colors Between Chanson and Folk

Between the texts unfolds a warm, earthy sound: Bavarian-Styrian tinted chanson melodies, finely nuanced, sometimes gentle, sometimes defiant. Accordion, guitar, or violin sketch sensual scenes; the acoustics of the hall let details shine. Music and words intertwine like light and shadow – every punchline hits, every note tells.

Stage Design, Light, Audience Reaction

Reduced stage design, clear light moods, precisely set transitions – the direction keeps the focus on voice, text, and timing. The audience typically reacts with liberated laughter, approving murmurs, and tense silence in darker moments. An evening that uncovers with wit and warms with empathy.

Context and Quality

Harry Blank has embodied popular figures of Bavarian television for years; Andreas Weinek combines authorship with long music practice. Press reports categorize their project as Bavarian chanson with narrative impact – between hometown sound and fine irony. This very handwriting also shapes the Christmas evening.

Conclusion

Expect a sparkling mix of reading and live music: sharp, heartfelt, disrespectfully affectionate. Those who want to dust off the Advent feelings and experience great narrative art should see this event live at NUTS – close up, unvarnished, with resonance.
