HASSIAS in Neu-Ulm: Pure satire, pointed and ruthless live
Serdar Somuncu brings an uncompromising stage experience with his stage alter ego HASSIAS to the Edwin-Scharff-Haus. On Thursday, November 26, 2026, sharp social analysis, sarcastic humor, and precise acting collide in an electrified theater atmosphere.
Provocation as an art form: Staging the imposition
Somuncu celebrates the figure of the self-proclaimed leader of the fictional faith community HASSIAS. Dramaturgy and timing rely on escalation curves: calm preludes, targeted breaks, then attack. Speech rhythm, eye guidance, pause setting – the direction of one's own body becomes a meter-precisely guided scalpel. Audience reactions traditionally oscillate between roaring laughter, shocked pause, and the pleasurable moment of boundary shifting.
Stage design, light, acoustics: Contrast and clarity
The stage design remains deliberately reduced – a pedestal for words, a resonance space for attitude. Cold-warm light changes accentuate mood breaks, the acoustics of the large hall carry every syllable to the last row. This concentration brings the acting art of the evening into focus: voice, gesture, precision.
Dramatic line: From taboo to catharsis
HASSIAS works with the principle of elevation: taboos are named, turned, dissected. The dramaturgy builds on recognition stimuli and undermining expectations. Punchlines arise not from complacency but from friction – a calculated tension field between exaggeration and truthfulness.
Context and classification
Somuncu, present as a cabaret artist, author, and director for decades, continuously develops his stage – from polemical monologue to finely balanced performance. The evening connects to the staging history around his character and updates its satirical direction.
Conclusion
Expect an evening that hurts and liberates: uncompromising satire, clever directorial guidance over language and body, an intense cabaret experience in precise theater atmosphere. Experience HASSIAS live – and decide for yourself how far satire can go.
