MACKEFISCH // »Komplizirkus«

In the organizer's words:

Mackefisch create something extraordinary. And not just because they play what feels like 20 instruments at the same time with four arms and legs - from self-made suitcase drums, a tap shoe stepping on rattles, cork plates and horns to banjo, guitar and a keyboard that combines accomplished piano playing with crazy synth sounds. Not even because their

two-part vocals switch confidently between ravishingly beautiful and breathtakingly fast-paced. The truly unique thing about this award-winning mini-band is the feeling you leave with after the concert. And it's a damn good one: Mackefisch's KOMPLIZIRKUS doesn't just make you forget all your worries. Lucie Mackert and Peter Fischer also give space to serious topics, despite the good humor and sophisticated rhythms. No, not a room - a circus ring! And heavy thoughts are already bouncing through the hoops to rousing music, juggling with good ideas and letting themselves be stroked. And you realize: after an evening with Mackefisch, the weight of the world is simply much lighter.

Mackefisch have won numerous awards (including the Kleinkunstpreis St. Ingberter Pfanne, Kleinkunstförderpreis Baden-Württemberg, Kabarettpreis Mindener Stichling and Funny For Future Songcontest).
