Rainer Pause: A cultural worker with history
Rainer Pause was born in Essen in 1947 and has been on stage since 1966. He is not only the founder of the Bonn Pantheon Theater, but also co-founder of the alternative carnival session “Pink Punk Pantheon”. His stage character “Fritz Litzmann” has established himself as a defining figure in the German cabaret scene, particularly through his satirical examination of social issues. This character even appeared as an undertaker in his solo finale “The Last Judgment”, which he presented on April 9th in the Great Hall of the Eifelhöhenklinik Marmagen. This performance was characterized by black humor and deals with the funeral industry. Eifel Press Agency describes that the cabaret evening was not only entertaining but also profound.
The film “Fritz Litzmann, my father and I” goes beyond the individual biography and reflects universal questions about identity, responsibility and the price of self-realization. It becomes clear that the relationship between personal history and collective memory is central, giving the film a thoughtful dimension.
