Mackefisch - Komplizirkus

Mackefisch create something extraordinary. Not just because they play roughly 20 instruments simultaneously with four hands and feet - from handmade suitcase drums, tap shoes fitted with rattles, cork plates and horns, through banjo and guitar, to a keyboard that blends skilled piano playing with wild synthesizer sounds. Not because their two-part vocals confidently shift between enchantingly beautiful and breathtakingly fast-paced. Not because they deliver incredibly funny, poetic, and merciless lyrics.

What is truly unique about this award-winning mini-band is the feeling you take home after the concert. And it is a remarkably good one: Mackefisch's KOMPLIZIRKUS doesn't simply make you forget all your worries. Even serious themes get their space from Lucie Mackert and Peter Fischer amid all the good cheer and sophisticated rhythms. Not just space - a circus ring! And suddenly heavy thoughts leap through fiery hoops to captivating music, juggle good ideas, and let themselves be caressed. And you realize: after an evening with Mackefisch, the weight of the world sits noticeably lighter on your shoulders.

Mackefisch are winners of numerous awards (including the Kleinkunstpreis St. Ingberter Pfanne, Kleinkunstförderpreis Baden-Württemberg, Kabarettpreis Mindener Stichling, and Funny For Future Songcontest).
