Jakob Gühring „L‘homme et la musique" - Ein schauspielerischer Chansonabend

French, Italian and Swiss-German chansons interpreted by actors on piano, guitar and accordion. Texts by Simone de Beauvoir and Julio Cortázar playfully link the songs and their performers and form the framework for the evening's content. The chansons oscillate between joy and love, grief and death, anger and enthusiasm.

Jakob Gühring, born near Stuttgart in 1998, studied acting at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts from 2019-2024.
In addition to theater, he works as a pianist and is a speaker for rbbKultur, Deutschlandfunk and SWR. In 2022, he received the O.E. Hasse Prize for the Promotion of Outstanding Talent from the Academy of Arts and was awarded the third main prize in the chanson category at the Federal Singing Competition in Berlin in 2023.
