BREL / En Allemand
What's it about?
Performed by and with Benjamin Vanyek. Actor Benjamin Vanyek sings the songs of Jacques Brel in German adaptations — and as he wishes, including Le gaz, La valse a mille temps, Les bonbons, Mathilde, J’arrive, Amsterdam. Jacques Brel (1929–1978) is considered one of the greatest and most influential interpreters of French chanson. He is not only the bitter, socially critical, and aggressive poet who denounces the injustice of the ruling classes. Alongside sharp social critique, he also composed charming, tender chansons and humorous, razor-sharp parodies in which he explores recurring themes such as love, death, loss, and longing. Actor Benjamin Vanyek, also known to audiences as a performer of the action theater ensemble, sings the songs of Jacques Brel in German adaptations — and as he wishes, including Le gaz, La valse a mille temps, Les bonbons, Mathilde, J’arrive, Amsterdam. "Suffering man" (Kurier) Vanyek takes on the challenge and immerses himself completely in these songs. An intensely powerful performance, mostly sung and recited in the legendary adaptations by Werner Schneyder. A dramatic and absurd recital between somnambulism, agony, comedy, and madness. "Actor Benjamin Vanyek steps into the role of Belgian singer Jacques Brel, who is still regarded as one of the most important representatives of French chanson. However, he does not simply interpret Brel’s songs; he brings them into Viennese dialect." (Falter)
