Piano comedy, classical crossover
Watchword? Run by yourself! Fast forward, with drive and a little weird.
Faithfulness to the originals is passé! Anne combines venerable classical music with sharp-tongued cabaret. With her music and her lyrics she tells us about the relations between The Beatles and Bach; about Debussy, who’s doing business with Apple in Far East; she tells us about an ignored piano bench that’s performing a solo; about Doremi, the youtube-blogger, who’s explaining in her tutorial how to put on make-up on your eyelids with Beethoven;
she tells us about Verdi’s protest against Aida, the cruise line giant; about lyrics in German Schlager-music with hidden messages about diseases; and she tells us about train rides with bad mobile reception. All that with a delicate power of observation and wrapped in humour. And not with that dull stagelight and hideous, twined ivy at the front of the stage. She rather performs with a loop-station and original compositions.
Just like in real life. Urtext ad libidum.
Clap whenever you want!
