Manfred Krug – Abgehauen

Ludwig Blochberger & Goin’ Out West Quintet

Manfred Krug – Abgehauen

Krug’s memories meet jazz and chanson. Ludwig Blochberger and the Goin’ Out West Quintet explore conviction, friendship and the courage to start afresh. The evening begins in the weeks after Wolf Biermann was stripped of his East German citizenship in November 1976. Through diary entries, conversations and personal reflections, Manfred Krug records a period that would fundamentally change his life. Blochberger pairs these texts with songs from Krug’s repertoire. Wit, musical lightness and a personal perspective create a portrait of an independent-minded actor and singer – and of a turbulent era.

Concert reading

Neil Young – Comes a Song

With Ludwig Blochberger, based on Navid Kermani

Neil Young – Comes a Song

An intimate evening about the power of music: Ludwig Blochberger brings together Navid Kermani’s prose and the songs of Neil Young, with guitar, vocals and harmonica. At its heart is a young family whose newborn daughter will only fall asleep to Neil Young’s music. From this experience, Kermani develops a story about love, transience and those moments when life suddenly seems complete. Blochberger carries the story forward through music: the songs echo its thoughts and moods, connecting everyday family life with Young’s unmistakable musical world.
