Musical reading, colorful evening, show with audiovisual elements - Regener on Dorau and over 30 years of hard work in the vineyard of art

Andreas Dorau has experienced quite a lot. He knows the rapid ascent just as well as the crossing of the plain guided by the mirage of the work concept.

At 15, he gave the New German Wave its presumably most eccentric hit: "Fred vom Jupiter. At 30, he confounded the Munich Film Academy with his final project "Schlag dein Tier" - a lighthearted quiz show in which people compete against their pets (and in which, of course, the animals always win). With his opera "The Overjoyed Ones," he caused an uproar among animal rights activists because some fish were part of the cast. And when he and a few friends threw Rammstein's menhir out of the window of his record company, not everyone thought it was funny.

When Andreas Dorau tells stories, they just bubble out of him. And you experience with him a foray through the German music and entertainment industry that is quite something. Of course, this all reads particularly sharply through the glasses of the ghostwriter: Sven Regener.

"Andreas Dorau is the only avant-garde artist to whom you can't shout, 'Too early is also bad timing,' because that doesn't apply to him. Andreas Dorau is always right, and we are always too late." (Sven Regener)

"Trash pop at its finest, about which the duo Andreas Dorau/Sven Regener can narrate in such a wonderfully flirtatious way that the holes fly out of the cheese. The book belongs on the notepad of everyone interested in pop." (Oliver Jungen, FAZ)
