Oskar Maria Graf - Weibsbilder

His favorite sister Nanndl, with whom he escapes from his domineering brother Max. The mother, who wears herself out for her daily duties. The strict landlady, the unconventional bohemienne. The factory worker who saves for a better future but falls ill and dies. The female characters in Oskar Maria Graf's often autobiographical work vary his major life theme: the rebellion against social constraints and the impositions of the daily struggle for survival.

Maria Hafner and Florian Burgmayr present these female figures in a musical and literary journey through "We are prisoners", "My mother's life" and lesser-known short texts from the Weimar Republic period. Tuba, accordion, viola and voice combine the rural world of Graf's childhood with the breathlessness of Schwabing before the First World War and the disillusioned view after the lost revolution - and Graf's powerful humor with his tender, melancholy tones.

Florian Burgmayr
The tuba player, pianist, composer and bass singer Florian Burgmayr comes from Draxlham and lives in Munich. As a tuba player he is at home between brass band and new music (Art Ensemble Passau), as a pianist and accordion player he is a sought-after accompanist for recitals and readings. He has also made a name for himself as a stage musician at theaters (Bavarian State Theater, Lustspielhaus Munich, etc.) and has composed numerous theater scores himself (Luisenburgfestspiele Wunsiedel, Komödienstadl BR, etc.). He has also set films and radio plays to music (Dr. Döblingers geschmackvolles Kasperltheater and others).
Poetry and music are always delicately linked in Florian Burgmayr's work, he is a MusiKuss in the best sense of the word.

Maria Hafner
Maria Hafner, who grew up in Straubing, has lived in Munich for many years as a freelance musician and actress. There she works for the Residenztheater, Volkstheater, Metropoltheater, Kammerspiele and Bayerischer Rundfunk, among others. In her music projects(HafnerBurgmayr, Parkdeck 6, Maria Hafner & Theresa Loibl), the versatile artist moves between DaDa poetry, electronic music and blues. She can also be seen in film and television productions such as Zwei Herren im Anzug, Die letzte Sau and the Nockherberg-Singspiel.
Maria Hafner received the Straubing Cultural Promotion Prize, the Fraunhofer Folk Music Prize(Zwirbeldirn, 2008) and the small Passau executioner's hatchet in practical handbag format(Hasemanns Töchter 2013).
