Event as part of the Art:walk Festival
A musical homage to Andy Warhol by Lou Reed and John Cale - by and with Jürgen Sarkiss. Excerpts from the production.
Drella, a combination of Dracula and Cinderella, was a nickname of Andy Warhol, who at the time housed and financed the band The Velvet Underground in his world-famous art studio. After Warhol's death in 1987, ex-members of the band Lou Reed and John Cale dedicated the album "Songs for Drella" to him in 1990, which analyses the artist's life and their time together. Ensemble member Jürgen Sarkiss joins musicians Hajo Wiesemann and Jan-Sebastian Weichsel on a musical journey in which complicated relationships, anger, excitement, otherness and the significance of art as a revolutionary force are negotiated.
