Description
Diego Armando Maradona – a name that resonates far beyond football. A figure full of contradictions, whose life was marked by highs and lows. In a unique blend of spoken word and live music, they tell of Maradona's childhood in precarious conditions, his rise to global stardom, his escapades, his drug addiction, the years in Naples and Barcelona, his retreat, his failure – and his immortal myth. Accompanied by pianist and composer Simon Ho and bandoneon player Jonathan Blaty, who capture the atmosphere of Argentina and the complexity of Maradona's life with their music, an intense stage play full of poetry, rhythm, and emotion emerges. An evening that resonates – not only for football fans but for all who love melancholic stories. Portrait of the artist
The writer & spoken word artist was awarded numerous prizes for his novel "Der Goalie bin ig". His texts describe everyday life, are personal, and sprinkled with philosophical thoughts. The stories of Lenz feel so familiar and captivating because of his great art of shaping colloquial language into a literary form, rhythmizing it, and making it sound – creating Pedro Lenz's very own sound. Currently, Pedro Lenz is mainly touring with his program "Zärtlechi Zunge" – solo, but also in duo or trio with musical accompaniment. www.pedrolenz.ch This event is seated.
