Katharine Mehrling - Katharine at the Bar

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) Anything can happen on an evening 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 Rebelles & Bohèmiennes such as Nina Simone, Marlene Dietrich, Hildegard Knef, Édith Piaf — and Katharine Mehrling herself.
