How can I go crazy and still come across as likeable?!

Verena Unbehaun’s music deals with the current feeling of being lost: the values of her left-wing parents’ home, which were once only supposedly reliable but remain deeply rooted to this day, are disintegrating, but even back then, in her childhood, they were much a beautiful illusion. The »perfect world« of her grandfather from Lüneburg with his operetta compositions—the counter-concept and equally illusory—saved her as a child through family crises. This strange mixture of light entertainment and the intellectual ideals of her 1968 teacher father (who was himself a composer of peace songs and »no nuclear power«-songs) forms the ambivalence in Verena Unbehaun’s song lyrics and her performance.
As confusing as it has always been to find a reliable truth between yesterday and the day before yesterday, it’s good that it’s now being turned into music. And everyone sitting together at the bar drinking beer. Some in egg costumes.

The duo Unbehaun (singer/lyricist Verena Unbehaun and musician Stefan Hillebrand) is teaming up with Patrick Wengenroth (performer/director) for a concert—just like in the »Planet Porno« days at TD, HAU, Sophiensäle, Schaubühne—to celebrate an evening of madness, depth, and triviality.
