When Morgenstern meets live music: An evening full of gallows poetry in Schwerin
The Club of the Dead Poets brings Christian Morgenstern's Gallows Songs to the stage of DER SPEICHER in Schwerin in a newly set version. On October 3, 2026, the audience can expect a literary-musical concert experience that combines humor, depth, and subtle undertones.
Between Wordplay and Sound Poetry
Reinhardt Repke has developed his own form of stage performance over the years with this project: Poems are not only sung but atmospherically retold. The music opens up space for the texts, sets accents, allows pauses to resonate, and gives the gallows songs that blend of lightness and melancholy that makes Christian Morgenstern so unmistakable.
Hans-Werner Meyer as the evening's special voice
On stage is actor and singer Hans-Werner Meyer, who carries the literary source with presence and a fine sense. Together with Markus Runzheimer on bass, percussion, and vocals, as well as Reinhardt Repke on guitars and vocals, a compact formation is created where every detail counts. The result: not a smooth pop concert, but an evening with character, dramaturgy, and a clear stance.
Literature becomes live atmosphere
Morgenstern's gallows poetry thrives on linguistic wit, rhythm, and surprising images. This is precisely where the program comes in: The musical settings sharpen the texts without covering their core. Thus arises a concert experience that appeals to literature lovers, theater audiences, and music fans alike. Those who experience the Club of the Dead Poets hear not just songs but a carefully constructed orchestration of language, sound, and stage tension.
DER SPEICHER as a fitting venue
DER SPEICHER is known as a Schwerin cultural venue for concerts, readings, and theater formats. The historical atmosphere of the venue is ideally suited for an evening where poetry and music intertwine. With its location in Röntgenstraße 22 and the cultural impact of the place, the program receives a framework that fosters intimacy and concentration.
Conclusion: An evening for those seeking meaningful music
The Club of the Dead Poets transforms Morgenstern's Gallows Songs into an evening full of wit, depth, and live-felt closeness. Those who enjoy language in the spotlight and appreciate music with a literary soul should mark this date in Schwerin and be there live.
