NILS STRASSBURG „LIVING ELVIS“ Mehr als eine musikalische Lesung

In the organizer's words:

Nils Strassburg celebrates the premiere of "LIVING ELVIS" at the Friedrichsbau Varieté!

What happens when an artist not only sings, but also writes stories?

Nils Strassburg, one of the most internationally recognized Elvis interpreters of our time, answers this question in a way that surprises audiences and critics alike.

With tours through Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland, Strassburg has already conquered countless stages - from large concert halls to renowned international venues. But now he is opening his book Living Elvis - My Life for the King and taking his audience on a very personal journey: humorous, direct and surprisingly close.

At Songs & Stories, reading meets concert. In musical blocks, well-known classics as well as rarely performed pieces by Elvis Presley are played - newly arranged and interpreted with a selected band. In between, Strassburg reads passages from his book, tells of his first encounters with the King, of doubts, of family and of all those moments when life suddenly became so much more than a show.

A special part of the evening is also an open dialog: Meike Buschening-Kaffenberger, known to many from the VOX show Zwischen Tüll und Tränen, joins Nils Strassburg in conversation and together they open up the space for an honest, spontaneous exchange - between music and stories, between stage and audience.

This reading is not a rigid format, but an invitation to an evening that is more than an event: there will be singing, talking and laughter - and sometimes even the greatest legends suddenly find themselves in the spotlight of their own memories.
