Ursula Strauss & Ernst Molden - Oame Söö

Prinz-Eugen-Straße/ Ecke Plößlgasse

1030 Wien

 

OAME SÖÖ (= "Poor Soul") is about legends and myths, about King Laurin's rose garden, about the dangerous basilisk in Vienna and about watermen who can lurk in any fire pond. The songs were written by the Viennese songwriter, author and dramaturge Ernst Molden, and are performed together with the outstanding actress and singer Ursula Strauss. In Molden's melodies, the legends lose their location, but above all also the didactic language in which they were once written down.

The songs, reduced in the park to two voices and acoustic guitar, are combined with songs from the celebrated debut "wüdnis". Beautiful, sad and funny moments for a special concert experience.

"The presence of sadness is the prerequisite for good mockery," says Ursula Strauss. "And the best mockery takes place in failure."
