ANNAKIN*RICK HORNBY*CHRISTIAN RIESEN*DOMINIQUE MÜLLER
With animal advocate Gieri Bolliger and Noah Liechti, the Prince of Trash
" Voices from . . . " is a full-length concert series that goes beyond a musical experience. With top-class performances, exciting background information, touching stories and humorous anecdotes, Annakin and her partners in crime weave a fine web around a specific theme. With local heroes and rising stars, from serious to cheerful and always entertaining - dancing, playing or reading. Sensual, a bit cheeky too - but different from many things. And always close to the topic and to the heart.
In the fourth edition with the title "Voices from . . . The Animal Kingdom", Annakin and her musicians give the audience wings with songs about animals. Afterwards, the singer and the Dominique Müller analyze the lyrics. Soon the question will arise: is "Love Cats" by The Cure really a song about cats? How well do Kuno Lauener's animals actually come off and what does Björk see in people when she writes from the animals' point of view?
In the second part of the evening, Gieri Bolliger, managing director of the "Das Tier im Recht" foundation, explains how he campaigns for the rights of animals by giving them a voice as an advocate.
During all this, another big fish in the room sketches the scene live. The resulting picture by illustrator Noah Liechti will be auctioned off in the second part of the evening, and donated to a local animal shelter.
A Swiss song that takes a silly turn and Annakin's song on the subject will not be missing. She will be accompanied by the keyboarder Christian Riesen and guitarist Rick Hornby.
