A musical evening with Agnes Mann and Johannes Winde.
Water women appear in the form of sirens, mermaids, nymphs, melusines, the
Loreley, the foam-born Venus and the Undines.
They are a river without end and hugely diverse, these women from the sea
from the sea that flow through literature, music and art history.
The woman as a roaring, playful, cooling sea, as a raging torrent,
as a waterfall, as boundless waters through which ships drift
with all their longing sailors.
It is said that these women only receive a soul through the unconditional
love of a man.
They bring death to an unfaithful lover!
And now such a woman from the sea, an undine, meets a sailor...
They begin with the beginning:
"Good evening"
"Good evening"
"How far is it to you?"
"It's far, far."
"And it's far to me."
A song recital with texts from "Undine geht" by Ingeborg Bachmann
and songs from Rammstein to Freddy Quinn and France Gall
with Johannes Winde as the music-making sailor and Agnes Mann as the
singing, speaking Undine.
