"Main home is my head"

Distinctive in its eloquence and uncompromising clarity, facial expression and polyphony: The legendary comedian Passau Sigi Zimmerschied guest appearances with his new program "Shredder" of 16 August to 8 September (Thursday to Saturday) at the Fraunhofer theater. A gripping chamber piece in which one talks extortion shredder out of school. Depths are in small or larger whole, as always, included in Zimmerschied to satisfy: Great shocking funny. In the interview room on blackmail potential difference, Munich, Passau and Fraunhofer theater, television coverage and new projects.
How did you come up with the overall story of the "shredder"?Because we all now live in a world that is becoming more transparent. Privacy has become an illusion. Man is the subject of an extortion have become reality and he is both victim and perpetrator. 
The issue has now received in the form of cover-ups by disappearance of documents from the secret service and the Federal Ministry of the Interior under the Nazi terror scandal new urgency ...No, that everything is already known facts. "Now they have substance," say the people and see this one as they had caught us with the needle. The politics of the day is indeed a bar, but we are not the prostitutes who go on it. "Now they have substance," say the people and forget that we do not need him because we do not gloat addictive, but a sisyphusartige desire to find a pattern in the ever recurring incurable.
What was their approach to "shredder" as the stage show come about?How are all my programs. Through a formal idea. I wanted a ransom from the darkness, the fear of appearing Pursued awareness feel for me a refuge. I was about telling a biography regain the security to the people at the end to blackmail again, as I will elicit information that would have the potential to blackmail. Precisely the people that I have before me, and I've told a half hours, as blackmail works. Alarmingly, succeeds almost every night.
You have to cabaret with Bruno Jonas began in mid-seventies in the then arch-conservative Passau has changed since then some of their motivation?No. Because the motivation comes from an incompatibility with closed and hierarchical worldviews. It's almost like an allergy. Sprout and the same pustules, which we used to get on incense, today neoliberal steam or para-religious philosophies of appeasement. No, because nothing will change. Not even the sermon chairs. Bruno has always been drawn to the big arenas. Mine were the master tables. He was already centered in the mini dome. I was in the Innstadtpfarrei. No, it has not changed.
You, as a native of Passau also temporarily lived in Munich. What were or are the respective advantages and disadvantages of the two largest cities?Munich has always been the second home. Similarly, Passau. As well as writing my home in Kneiding in Upper Austria. There is only second homes. Main home is my head.
Her previous stage show "Laugh poet" turned to their often subversive rejected television scripts. How important is television coverage of the stage success of comedians?A disastrous. We managed to television, to rob the cabaret, the dignity and power to destroy it. The cruel but at this development, however, the vulnerability of its own genre, which is defined by distinctiveness, consistency and substance, and has degenerated into a media puppet theater. The formal censorship has long since replaced the content. Everything looks the same. If you consider that the Bavarian television now on the cabaret Friday time slot the "Musikantenstadtl" dare to repeat rather than new formats, then a declaration of bankruptcy is the same.
They traditionally play in August at the Fraunhofer theater. What makes its charm?It is the appeal of the May devotion. Only that it takes place in August. A sort of homecoming ritual finding beyond the patterns of success and the importance of the noise. A living room to play, experimentation, drinking, the teasing, loving, sink and spin kidneys. Come back and break in the serenity of the Gesamtkunstwerk Fraunhofer.
Are to be expected in the near future, new projects by Sigi Zimmerschied?After the cabaret scene has decay characteristics, are structured differently and no longer functions as the butchers' guild or the local administration department, I have next to my cabaret again revived the actor's work and the author's work.Not that it is in the world of film and publishing zuginge differently than in the local administration department, but have never claimed that these genres. So you can enter and leave without anticipation in without major disappointment again. I succeed in not currently cabaret.Sun and perceive, hear ye! A book will be published and movies to see, and even before the Lord resurrected on Easter morning, I'm going in February, already give a new comedy program.
