Possible encounter

Leipzig 1747: In a celebration­hour, the Thomas Cantor Johann Sebas­t­ian Bach is admitted to the "Societät der musikalis­chen Wissenschaften". Honorary­guest is George Frederick Handel, who has travelled from London especially for the occasion, after which he invites the Kolle­gen to a meal. However, what initially turns out to be a kolle­gial thought­naus­exchange with fixed roles­play - here the super­star and pleasure­men­sch, there the modest­little cantor - soon turns into an un­hoped-for duel. Two titans of their art face off against each other, as similar as they are alien, and their increasingly violent clashes make­dene the little cantor.x>Ampersandshy;der­set­zung schim­mern desires and longings, also secret fears and complexes come through, which all cliché­lun­gen of these two music­ers swirl throughan­der. The starting point of the comedy is pure fiction: The personal­encounter­ning between the esteemed composer­is­ten and verdi­en­ten Thomas Cantor Bach and the most famous and highest-paid musician of his time, George Frideric Handel, has - despite numerous­icher, unbestre­it­barer paral­le­len of resumes - never happened in real life­fun­den! Paul Barz's comedy makes an impossible encounter­possible: The heated meeting of two century­dert­ge­nies as a witty, funny utopia!
