Zuckerfrei

"We make art without artificial sweeteners — intense, close and physically tangible."

Zuckerfrei is the duo of Katharina Ceylan-Buckup (Bochum) and Harald Edlinger (Vienna). Their performance combines the atmospheric melancholy of Vienna with the honest, direct force of the Ruhr region — in the interplay of speaking, reading, singing and guitar, texts become physically tangible. A first performance has already taken place in Berlin.

Das glückliche Gestern — a monologue about love, loyalty and one's own voice

Behind the creation of Mozart's world-famous Magic Flute stood not only the eccentric genius of theatre director Emanuel Schikaneder — but also a strong, clever woman often overlooked in the shadow of history: his wife Eleonore. In Monika Buschey's subtle monologue, Eleonore Schikaneder breaks her silence and, with the distance of years, draws a wise, bittersweet balance — the quiet but powerful portrait of a woman who finds her own voice again.

Katharina Ceylan-Buckup

Raised in a creative family of artists, music lovers and painters, art is part of her DNA. Her distinctive, sonorous, slightly raspy voice shapes her artistic work: as a professional voice artist she is at home in documentaries, radio plays, advertising and refined art projects, lending her voice to strong characters in cinematic video game productions. She lives with her family in Bochum. Contact: katharinaspricht.de
