Cornelia Corba als Knef in Verrückt ist normal

In the organizer's words:

100 years of Knef - KI concert show

A nation needs role models. People by whom they feel represented. For Germany, this was certainly Hildegard Knef. She grew up in Berlin, lived through the Second World War there, made the first German post-war film, received awards, went to America, was nominated for an Oscar, played on Broadway and wrote an international bestseller with her biography "Der geschenkte Gaul". She wrote and sang timelessly unique German chansons, for which she received a gold record.

After Marilyn Monroe and Liesl Karlstadt, about whose lives Cornelia Corba has also staged successful concert shows, it is now Knef's turn. Thanks to her personal friendship and conversations with Hans Hammerschmid, the composer and producer of many of Hildegard Knef's successful songs, Cornelia Corba has created an authentic concert show about the artist's life. Of course, her most beautiful songs are not to be missed - from "In dieser Stadt" to "Von nun an ging's bergab" and "Für mich soll's rote Rosen regnen". Accompanied by original photos and Thomas E. Killinger on the piano and supported by KI, the exciting life of this extraordinary artist becomes comprehensible.
