Mörderballaden - eine Lesung mit Juliane Liebert

Murder ballads have been around since mankind has been telling stories. Whether it's H. C. Artmann's dialect poems, Bertolt Brecht' s Mackie Messer morality tale or Nick Cave's murder ballads - they all deal with crime. Juliane Liebert brings this genre into the present and writes about a bank robber in men's clothes who is shot in a stand-off with the police. Of victims of political persecution. Of pen friendships with people sentenced to death. Of time, "the true murderer". She asks, "how is my mother / there in the earth / is she drinking? is she listening? is she cold?" and "are you afraid? i said no. i didn't want to be".
It tells of murder and manslaughter, our fears and desires - and reflects all the madness of the world. "song: eat kill store".

True crime in verse ...
