Dunkel & Homberger

Burleske

Eine chorale Wasserperformance

When singer Christoph Homberger, director Jo Dunkel and musician Martin Schütz meet on the shores of Lake Zurich, we can be sure that theyare up to much good. «Burleske» is a zappy musical farce starring LakeZurich. The line-up also features: a choir (in danger of drowning), boats,real and fake swans, synchronised swimmers – and of course, music.Famous choral songs are deconstructed and reassembled, excerpts from Mahler’s «Symphony of a Thousand» bob up, Martin Schütz pulls out hiselectro-cello, samples, loops and remixes and makes the waves surge up.But despite all the frolics, a breeze of melancholy surrounds this merrywater spectacle: the end of summer is nigh.
