Schwabinger Bohemia between Chanson, Jazz, and Beerhouse Poetry
On November 12, 2026, Freising transforms into a musical memory landscape of Munich in the Small Hall at Asam. THE SCHWABINGER GISELA – MR. WEDEKIND ALSO GETS A SAY leads right into that dazzling world where bohemia, small art, and urban freedom met.
A Sound Cosmos of New Beginnings and Irony
Petra Lewi, Titus Waldenfels, and Michael Reiserer weave spoken and sung words with chanson, jazz, street ballads, and sound film tones. The production thrives on musical breaks, surprising sound colors, and a theatrical atmosphere that makes the Munich way of life immediately palpable.
Frank Wedekind's expressionistic language worlds encounter the early traces of Bertolt Brecht and the quirky humor of Karl Valentin. From this dramatic friction emerges a multifaceted stage program between literary homage, musical cabaret, and scenic concert.
The Instruments Become Stage Characters
Petra Lewi brings singing, ukulele, and singing saw into play. Titus Waldenfels switches between guitar, violin, banjo, mandolin, and Hawaiian guitar. Michael Reiserer expands the ensemble with drums, accordion, singing, and also with the characteristic singing saw.
This creates an unusual stage experience where acoustics, rhythm, and linguistic wit intertwine closely. The artistry lies not in a classical role action but in the precise transition between recitation, song, musical punchline, and atmospheric intensification.
The Legendary Schwabinger Gisela
At the center stands the legendary Schwabinger Gisela as a symbol of bohemia, the longing for freedom, and urban lightness. Her story connects with the Munich small art scene and with a café where personalities like Kirk Douglas and Orson Welles were said to have been guests.
The Freising memory culture also finds its place: in 1973 the Schwabinger Gisela received her own pavilion at the folk festival. This connection between city history, entertainment, and musical storytelling gives the evening a special regional resonance.
An Evening for Literature and Music Lovers
The two-hour event, including a break, is aimed at everyone who wants to experience theater, small art, and handmade live music in an intimate venue. Between street ballads and jazz, between Wedekind and Gisela, a stage space opens up full of wit, nostalgia, and sound surprises.
Conclusion: The trio of Petra Lewi, Titus Waldenfels, and Michael Reiserer promises a vibrant cultural experience between literary collage, musical virtuosity, and Munich bohemia. Those who want to learn about Schwabinger Gisela not just through stories will best experience her world live at Asam.
