She exposes the grotesqueness of normality, the monstrosity of mediocrity and the connection between comfort and conformism... All this with the means of commercial art: songs unchained.
An evening in which the symbiosis of emotion and insight provides the ultimate catharsis. Expect the unexpected. This is Annamateur!
The musicians alongside Anna Mateur, in changing line-ups, are:
Kim Efert (guitar), Samuel Halscheidt (guitar)
Anna Maria Vogt aka Anna Mateur, born in Dresden in 1977, studied music but would have preferred to apply for graphic design or acting. She has been touring the German-speaking world with her various musical formations since 2003, most recently with "Anna Mateur and the Beuys". Winner of many awards and always ready for a creative fling, she writes stage programs, song lyrics and radio columns and draws her stories live on transparencies, skin, tables and walls. Her passion is for systems between order and chaos. Various CDs with her musicians have been released by RoofMusic. Her first book "Wehwehchenatlas" and a solo radio play CD were published by "Voland & Quist", as was her latest live CD "Essnlassen" with Andreas Gundlach, piano, in December 2018.
"Comparatively many can be serious. Only very few can do such good satire."
