Elena Seeger - Laubbläserlyrik

Award-winning on multiple fronts - including the Förderpreis des Kleinkunstpreises Baden-Württemberg 2025 and the Landespreis für Dialekt 2024 - Elena Seeger delights audiences as a musical comedian with plenty of temperament, humour and self-deprecation.

She moves effortlessly between musical cabaret, singer-songwriter territory and Swabian chanson, turning everyday subjects into unexpected stories. Traditional Springerle cookies become a metaphor for the ticking clock, complaining turns into a relaxation technique, and a leaf blower becomes a lyrical experience.

With charm and dry wit she tackles the big and small questions of our time: what would my vegetables say if they could talk? Is ChatGPT the ideal therapist? And are Swabians perhaps the better minimalists?

Her music drifts between different moods and sonic worlds, inviting the audience to laugh along, grumble along and think along. Alongside songs in standard German, her love of the Swabian dialect keeps surfacing - warm, idiosyncratic and surprisingly poetic.
