The Rundfunk-Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld and Jan Böhmermann will be moving through the country in the year after next. It’s not just about entertainment, it’s also about “some kind of political development aid”.
Cologne – Satirist Jan Böhmermann (40) goes on a music tour with the orchestra in 2023. “After almost two years of pandemic, the orchestra and I are getting tired of sitting inside and want to get out. The studio ceiling falls on our heads, ”said the moderator of the“ ZDF Magazin Royale ”of the dpa in Cologne.
In addition, it is simply something different when you can experience live the Rundfunk-Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld, which is responsible for the music in its broadcast. Because of the corona pandemic, there will be enough lead time – therefore it will not start until 2023. In the past, Böhmermann had already been on tour with the orchestra twice.
Focus on “nonsense and singing”
The musical repertoire is now quite large, he said. Some pieces for his show are worked on for a whole year. “But that’s only shown once on TV and then never again. We always sit there after the show and say: It’s so stupid that you only do it once and then practically throw it away. ”He himself wants to concentrate on“ nonsense and singing ”on stage. “I learned classical guitar and drums,” he said. “But I prefer to leave that to the people who can.”
The first tour stop is Vienna of all places. Böhmermann has often joked about Austria. The tour serves “not only for entertainment, but is also a kind of political development aid,” he said. “Who knows what mess the Austrians will be in again in 2023 when we come.” Dpa
