Heidelberg HardChor | Male Destinies XII - Not My Circus

People, animals, sensations

The world of the circus ring is not a topic for Heidelberg HardChor - quite the opposite. Under the title "Not My Circus," this male vocal ensemble under conductor Bernhard Bentgens once again takes to the tightrope of male destinies. There the singers balance between intellectual pirouettes and emotional blows, juggling their own existential themes: wanderlust and relationship frustration, emotional management and blow-dried hair, the struggle over the milk-frothing machine in the office, and not least the question of how to pronounce Stracciatella with a full mouth.

HardChor conjures the magic of music with songs by Queen, David Bowie, Danger Dan, Gianna Nannini, Rio Reiser, Herbert Grönemeyer, Bernhard Bentgens, Bill Withers, and Fine Young Cannibals. "Not My Circus" is the eleventh programme of HardChor, in which beautiful vocal acrobatics merge with quirky, witty texts from the HardChor word workshop - like Stracciatella ice cream.

The HardChor men around conductor Bernhard Bentgens have already been through a lot and handle most things among themselves. For over three decades, they have shaken up the German cabaret and comedy scene with their unique combination of singing, singing, and singing.
