WATCHLIST 2023: Brothers by Blood

lmao if I had to pick one image to be a stereotypical depiction of contemporary German opera staging, this might be it

NO SUPPORT: Even though of Christoph Schneider's parents were into music, they didn't support his passion for rock. «They found me not musical enough. They thought I had bad ears, and I can't sing, and I'm not so much into music», the Rammstein drummer told Drum Channel. To show that he was serious about music, Schneider applied twice to get into music conservatory, but he didn't get in, even though his father was a professor there. «He said 'ah no no, I don't wanna do these kind of things to support someone who can't get in by themselves, my colleagues do this, but I don't. I don't do this.' And I'm very grateful for that in the end.»

DIE ERMITTLUNG - Plakat und Trailer

Regisseur RP Kahl hat das Theaterstück "Die Ermittlung" von Peter Weiss mit 60 Schauspieler:innen für die Kinoleinwand inszeniert. Der heute veröffentlichte Trailer gibt einen ersten Einblick in das künstlerisch radikale Projekt, das Kino, Theater und neueste Broadcast-Techniken verbindet, um einen eindringlichen und zeitgemäßen Beitrag zur Erinnerungskultur zu leisten.

Im Zentrum des Films stehen ein Richter, ein Verteidiger und ein Ankläger, die im Rahmen der Verhandlung auf 28 Zeug:innen treffen, die von ihren Erlebnissen und Beobachtungen in Auschwitz berichten. Weitere 11 Zeug:innen der ehemaligen Lagerverwaltung sagen vor Gericht aus. Die 18 Angeklagten werden im Prozess mit Beschreibungen der Zeug:innen konfrontiert und sollen Stellung beziehen.

Das Theaterstück wurde 1965 uraufgeführt und hat bis heute nichts von seinem Schrecken verloren: Es basiert auf persönlichen Aufzeichnungen, Zeitungsartikeln und Protokollen des ersten Frankfurter Auschwitz-Prozesses (1963 bis 1965). In unmissverständlich klarer Sprache von Peter Weiss zu einem lyrischen Klagegesang verdichtet und montiert, konfrontiert das Stück Täter und Opfer und lässt das Grauen in Auschwitz spürbar werden.

Nach einer intensiven, vierwöchigen Probenzeit haben 60 Schauspieler:innen den Text von Peter Weiss für die Kinoleinwand zum Leben erweckt. An insgesamt fünf Drehtagen wurden die einzelnen Gesänge im Studio Berlin Adlershof mit einem ausgefeilten visuellen Konzept in nur einer Einstellung gedreht - eingefangen von insgesamt acht Kameras.

In den Hauptrollen sind Rainer Bock als Richter, Clemens Schick als Ankläger und Bernhard Schütz als Verteidiger zu sehen. Hochkarätig besetzt sind auch alle anderen Rollen, so werden die Zeug:innen von Andreas Anke, Filipp Avdeev, Elisabeth Duda, Marc Fischer, Arno Frisch, Attila Georg Borlan, Dorka Gryllus, Marek Harloff, André Hennicke, Marcel Hensema, Rony Herman, Marco Hofschneider, Robert Hunger-Bühler, Rene Ifrah, Eva Maria Jost, Christian Kaiser, Klaudiusz Kaufmann, Nicolette Krebitz, Andreas Lechner, Peter Lohmeyer, Jiri Madl, Karl Markovics, Thomas Meinhardt, Robert Mika, Axel Moustache, Dirk Ossig, Axel Pape, Christiane Paul, Barbara Philipp, Andreas Pietschmann, Ralph Schicha, Peter Schneider, Andreas Schröders, Axel Sichrovsky, André Szymanski, Sabine Timoteo, Tom Wlaschiha, Mark Zak und Matthias Zera verkörpert. In der Rolle der Angeklagten standen Thomas Dehler, Nico Ehrenteit, Wilfried Hochholdinger, Christian Hockenbrink, Timo Jacobs, Ronald Kukulies, Lasse Myhr, Christian Pfeil, Torsten Ranft, Michael Rotschopf, Frank Röth, Matthias Salamon, Niels Bruno Schmidt, Tristan Seith, Michael Schenk, Arndt Schwering-Sohnrey, Adam Venhaus, Till Wonka vor den Kameras.

31 Days Idol Challenge - Oliver Riedel

Day 13 - Being Goofy

While the public often gets to see a serious Oliver Riedel, the man definitely has humour. Since Oliver doesn't speak a lot in public, it is difficult to know how he is in private, but from the glimpses we get, his sense of humour seems to be quite physical.

My pick for this is my video of Oliver on Puppe Cam in Oslo, 24.07.2022. While it may be a little hard to catch, he enters with his in-ear lights off - but then they get turned on as he gets a bright idea! I really love it, it's funny and clever, and he actually did it again in Chorzów this year.

Bonus material: 1) Oliver deciding to follow Flake during Los in Nîmes 2005, my gif. 2) Oliver having fun in Philadelphia, from Jens Koch's video. The outfit in itself also qualifies as pretty goofy, I'd say... My screenshot. 3) Oliver sliding around in a chair during the M&G in Helsinki. I'm afraid I don't remember who made these gifs, so sorry! 4) Oliver and Flake surprising people at a M&G, unknown photographer. 5) Paul "shooting" Oliver into a pool, by Olaf Heine. 6) How can I not take yet another opportunity to post the photo of Oliver cooling down his ass after trying (and succeeding) to light his farts on fire, by Matthias Matthies. 7) Oliver and Paul having fun in a boat, gif by unknown. 8) When the bridge didn't work and the guys couldn't crawl across with Schneider holding their leashes, Oliver decided to crawl anyway. Gif by unknown. 9) Last but not least, a grinning Oliver randomly hanging in a pole outside of his and Paul's dressing room, by Jens Koch.

I could also mention stuff like Oliver and Paul having fun with hiding stuff in their sleeves during Making of Rosenrot, young Oliver showing a "magic trick" in the In Amerika documentary, Oliver wiggling his eyebrows in the same documentary, Oliver trying to lift Paul on stage, Oliver singing at the end of the Making of Radio, Oliver randomly bursting out singing the "yodeling" part of Dragostea din tei Majahi Majahoo in one of the recent backstage videos...

How can you not love this man!

Till: @endlich-allein Flake: @anwiel13

I saw some pictures of Till & Richard in their „Single Dads Era“ which made me wonder about Richard being a single dad. I know Till used to be single dad for 7 years but has Richard been a single dad in the 90s?

Hello dear anon, I assume you have maybe this one in mind, taken by Matthias Matthies:

I know there's this "urban legend" floating around in the R+ lore about Richard and Till living together, raising their daughters together, being single dads... but to be honest, I have found no information about this constellation. From what I gathered in the last few years, Till indeed was a single dad, and Richard lived with him and Nele for a while. That's about it. Mareike left Nele with Till, but there are no accounts of her doing the same with Khira Li and Richard. Richard seemed to be involved in Khira Li's upbringing, as seen on numerous pictures, plus for example the time when she was hospitalised as a kid and he slept on the corridor of the hospital wing to be near her (sadly I don't know the source of this anymore) and I do think that Till and Richard somehow raise their daughters together as in being there for each other, but Richard most definitely shared responsibilities with Mareike, because she definitely was involved.

Khira Li seems to have a close relationship with Till so it's safe to say he was very present in her childhood (not only due to the fact that he's the father of her half-sister) but she also seems to be close to her mother (of course to Richard, too).

I think there is a kind of romanticised idea of Till and Richard as single dads, abandoned by the same woman... but I just don't think that's true to that extent. They did live together, but that couldn't have been for a very long time, because Richard shared an apartment with at least Olli in the 90s (not sure if Schneider lived there too) shortly before Rammstein took off.

Maybe it's hard for people to process that Mareike was there for her second daughter, but not for her first in the beginning? Which sounds harsh, I give you that.

But maybe I'm completely wrong about this and am missing out on important information? If someone has more information on it, chiming in would be greatly appreciated 🤗

"SPECIAL PLAYLIST: Christoph Schneider's favourite song is Highway to Hell by AC/DC, and he often blasts it when he's out driving. Though when the middle one of his three sons come along, they listen to Rammstein. «He thinks daddy's music is great. And he loves to ride along in the Porsche», Schneider told Christophorus. The drummer has put together a special Rammstein playlist to play for his son. «Not everything our singer writes has to be heard by the little one», he grinned.
