Peel, Aranea
Deutsche Lieder Sind Boser Lieder
Brecht, Weill, Eisler, Hollaender, Feuchtwanger, Benn, Dostal, Dessau and a few others are some of the best-known suppliers of music and lyrics from troubled times. Edgy, pungent, provocative, intelligent, shameless. German and evil. Can these cultural assets be shipped off to a museum? Or does everything have to be reinterpreted all over again? Neither, in fact! The electro punk icon Aranea Peel from scandalous band "Grausame Tochter" lives out these songs on the stage, performing them hedonistically while also demonstrating their timelessness. Its astonishingly evocative of Brechts epic theatre. Ecstatic concerts in Berlins underbelly - like in the KitKat club - prove her unbreaking passion for and devotion to these German songs.
