MOMENT MAL!
... There are no holes when travelling. A literary and musical journey through moments of life. Selection of texts and narrator: Susanne SCHARTNER. Music: CARLOS MARTIN Y SUS CABALLEROS – Carlos MARTIN, guitar; Andrès BARCA, drums; Floriano SALTARELLO, double bass
With gems of Austrian literature in their luggage, Susanne SCHARTNER and CARLOS MARTIN Y SUS CABALLEROS roam together through the most varied moments of life. The coarse astonishes, the tender delights, the seemingly banal begins to spark.
CARLOS MARTIN and his like-minded friends hold their audience spellbound with humour, a finely balanced blend of respect and self-irony, exciting arrangements and improvisations. They simply play away without asking what is current or fashionable, presenting their personal selection of hits from an already rich musical career that has taken them to the most mysterious and thrilling places.
Texts by H.C. Artmann, Konrad Bayer, Ernst Jandl,
Peter Hammerschlag, Otto Grünmandl,
Gerhard Rühm, Kurt Tucholsky and Rudolf Vogl
AUDIENCE REACTIONS
"An extraordinary evening with equally extraordinary texts, woven into a gripping story in which you are never quite sure whether you haven't 'partly lived through it yourself. Together with the truly "fantastic" Caballeros, a perfectly matched team!"
"Warmest congratulations! Your literary and musical journey yesterday was more than a success. Once again you were on top form. The interplay between you and the musicians was simply perfect. The three musicians were brilliant too. With the four of you, everything just fitted together beautifully. I absolutely loved your performance yesterday! The venue was something very special as well. Thank you for such an entertaining and artful evening!"
"It was a lovely evening in the Feuerwerk with you and your three musicians! The only pity (for us) was that it ended so quickly after the interval. We would gladly have heard a little more from you and your men."
