In the 1920s, curiosity about crossing boundaries, the desire for emancipation and the joy of discovering one's own sensuality were bubbling over! An inspiration that can still be felt today. Annette and Natascha follow in the footsteps of two great divas of the time: Marlène Dietrich, the film legend who loved her way across Berlin in her rousing dance on the volcano and then conquered Hollywood!
And Gala Dalí, formerly Gala Eluárd, the Russian muse of the surrealists, who later found her home in France and Spain. She was the great love, manager and patron of the equally brilliant and crazy Salvador Dalí.
Just don't cry for love, they sang back then and this song even made it into the Cologne Carnival!
Using French chansons and songs from the Berlin twenties, for example from the pen of the unforgotten Friecdrich Holländer, singer Annette Meisl and Russian pianist Natascha bring these times back to life.
They explore the fascination of these women and make a connection to the here and now! An evening full of melodies and spicy lyrics.
Annette and Natascha met in Cologne and immediately felt musically inspired by each other. For many years, they have been giving chanson and song recitals at La Galana Salon in Cologne-Ehrenfeld and have made guest appearances at various theaters.
