Dinner for four hands

Is it possible to capture in one evening all the energy of the Baroque era — its artistry, wealth and appetite for life? In Paul Barz's comedy, portraits of Bach and Handel are created, full of humor and human fragility, which reveal that behind the brilliant partitions lie ordinary, human weaknesses and great passions.

In the play “Dinner for Four Hands” we watch the meeting between Jan Sebastian Bach and Jerzy Fryderyk Händel in a Berlin inn in 1747. With the aroma of exquisite dishes, a duel of temperaments begins: a humble cantontist and a court virtuoso argue about the purpose of art, and under brilliant responses, ambitions and fears pulsate and desires.

“Dinner for four hands” is a theatrical delicacy for music lovers and lovers of smart comedy. The scenery of the show is unusual: the audience participates in an authentic feast and becomes a witness — and at the same time a participant — of an intellectual clash, in which the dialogues are full of humor and sharp language.
