Concert | Art und Weise: Raphaela Vogel & The Better People of Szechwan

Friday, January 12, 2024, 7:30 pm

Free

Based on past music, Juliane Liebert, Daniel Roth, and Raphaela Vogel present new and existing lyrics and melodies for both ears. The performance will be interluded by an interview-style exchange between Raphaela Vogel and Elisa R. Linn.

Raphaela Vogel and The Better People of Szechwan - that's Juliane Liebert, Daniel Roth, Raphaela Vogel and guests (Elisa R. Linn and Diedrich Diederichsen). They preserve the nearly lost work of the Jewish-German author Erich Hopp (Miss Germany Tango) and venture into the dubious humor of the of the end-punk band, Die Kassierer. In Procession 33b, they hiss outrageous chansons, clatter piano clusters, and reveal horrendous half-truths by and about grown-up men singing backwards, all accompanied by a harmonium and a large thunderous brass object (stolen from the Einsturzende Neubauten). Brutally pedagogic Brecht ballads and a waterproof world view give the band a unique status in Berlin's unsettled cultural life. Who else would you trust to sing the rhyme Amazon Should go Bankrupt to the tune of Urmel aus dem Eis?

This performance and talk coincides with Raphaela Vogel's (ex-The Fistfuckers) New York debut at Petzel Gallery, featuring a poly-retrofuturistic temple of countless cameras referring to themes by Erich Hopp.
