Katharine Mehrling - Three nights

Katharine Mehrling, stage icon and multi-talented, who is equally successful as an actress on stage and in film, as a musical star or chansonnière or jazz singer (Online Merker) “plays and sings as devotedly as if there was no tomorrow. As if her voice and body were only alive for this moment.” (rbb) So anything can happen in one night with Katharine Mehrling, because she reserves every freedom.

She changes languages with ease and delightfully crosses musical boundaries: Brecht meets jazz, chanson meets pop, great drama meets subtle irony and sensuality. And above all: It connects people. Through music. Through stories. Through her “colorful, iridescent trademark voice that immediately touches.” (night review) .Songs & chansons, lyrics and own compositions, inspired by rebels & bohemiennes such as Nina Simone, Marlene Dietrich, Hildegard Knef, Édith Piaf or Björk — and Katharine Mehrling herself. Radiant, wild and free, she celebrates femininity as well as the depth and lightness of being.
