BIG AND SMALL PEOPLE. An audiovisual literary concert. Music and texts by Purcell, Copland, Schumann, Büchner, Bichsel to Strauss.

Mit Fabian Ziegler Perkussion und Marimba.

“Many quiet notes, which she had already enjoyed plucking and striking, are now even more delicate and fragile, yet imbued with high tension… In between, Delia Mayer sings and recites songs by Copland and Eisler, by Purcell and Schumann. She is the voice in poor Woyzeck’s head, crouching and tumbling around in the small stage frame (…) a window to the world, to the inner world, a bridge also to the texts.”

Not only in Shakespeare and Schiller, but also in Rückert and Brecht, Fallada and Strauss, it's a recurring theme in literature: the great, unapproachable figures and the unheard – the little people. In the 1970s, Botho Strauss wrote "Big and Small," a play about the loneliness and brutalization of society. Delia Mayer, singer and former Swiss "Tatort" (Crime Scene) commissioner, offers us a glimpse into the depths and heights of this small world through song and storytelling. She will be accompanied by Fabian Ziegler (Marimba, percussion), Mirella Weingarten (Stage, drawings), Wiebke Pöpel (Video).
