"In Memoriam Otto Schenk" at the Vienna Akzent Theater

Otto Schenk always spent his birthday on stage. On June 12, he would have celebrated his 95th birthday. On this occasion, a commemorative event is being organized this year in honor of the audience favorite who passed away in January.

On June 3, old recordings and the last interview conducted by manager Herbert Fechter with Otto Schenk will be presented at the Akzent Theater in Vienna, and companions will speak live at the Vienna Akzent Theater.

An Evening in Memory of Otto Schenk at the Vienna Akzent Theater

The program "In Memoriam Otto Schenk - I Have Always Taken Humor Very Seriously" consists largely of recordings, said Fechter. Visitors can look forward to a reunion with the most cheerful, but also the most touching performances of Otto Schenk - on stage, in film, and in theater. Erwin Steinhauer, Heinz Marecek, Michael Dangl, Elke Winkens, and Marianne Mendt will speak on stage about their encounters with Schenk. For the first time, the last interview with Otto Schenk will also be shown, in which he talks about God, the transience of fame, and death, announced Fechter. He conducted this for a planned television program, said the manager. "But it was never broadcast." Tickets for the evening in memory of Otto Schenk at the Vienna Akzent Theater are available at the Akzent Theater or through Ö-Ticket.
