AHNE "Musiklesung"

"Is this still jazz?" - AHNE reads, sings and drinks: topical texts, bold pop songs, beer.

For his new show, Ahne inhabits the role of a jazz singer who no longer knows whether what he's doing counts as jazz at all. Not a single instrument is used, the texts are read from the page, and when he sings it sounds more like a cross between a children's song and punk. The improvisation and the ambition, though? In the broadest sense, it might still be jazz. An evening of science, politics and nonsense - with an interval and God.
