An Evening in Night Blue: Meret Becker sings Barbara at the Kurtheater
On July 2, 2026, Meret Becker transforms the Kurtheater Bad Kissingen into a vibrant chanson stage. Together with Dietmar Loeffler, Marie Claire Schlameus, and Uwe Steger, she dedicates herself to the legendary French singer Barbara – poetically, intimately, touchingly. A stage experience that connects the theatrical atmosphere of the historic house with a finely drawn homage.
Chanson Poetry with Contour: Dramaturgy and Staging
Becker and Loeffler shape a scenic song program from Barbara's songs, which operates without unnecessary gestures and makes an impact through precise dramaturgy. Piano, cello, and accordion merge into a chamber musical sound that traces the dark warmth of Barbara's voice and gives space to Becker's acting skills. Light moods accentuate transitions; details in the stage design remain consciously reduced – every note, every syllable comes into focus.
Between Velvet and Shadow: Sensual Impressions
From the silence, the first chord grows, the audience holds its breath – then this quiet pulse of the accordion. Becker's timbre shifts from whisper-thin to marked declamation. The acoustics of the Kurtheater carry every nuance, the cello draws lines like fine ink. One feels closeness, an intimate theater situation where text and tone reach the audience directly.
Hearing Barbara Anew: Context and Sound Colors
Göttingen, Dis quand reviendras-tu, and other chansons open biographical windows: reconciliation, memory, self-assertion. The arrangements explore colors – jazzy shades at the piano, velvety cello bows, breathing bellows on the accordion. Thus, a vibrant resonance space is created that honors tradition and asserts the present.
