August Zirner & Sven Faller: Coming Home

In the organizer's words:

August Zirner and Sven Faller tell entertaining stories of leaving and arriving with humor and depth, based on the love stories of their grandmothers. Zirner tells how, as a young American, he fled from the Vietnam War to Austria, the country from which his parents had fled. The young Faller, on the other hand, was drawn to America. His grandmother's Jewish fiancé had returned from there 30 years ago to keep his marriage vows. An exciting musical dialog between flute and double bass continues the stories in a lively manner. Zirner and Faller playfully revive not only jazz classics such as "Summertime" and "Take Five", but also Bach's "Bourreé".
