Drunger U Drüber

Dong, Quynh; Nater, Pascal; Erismann, Niklaus; Le, Tham; Dong, Quynh; Meltzer, Burkhard

Through various media, Quynh Dong puts the re-production of emotions through music and images on stage. Translated through different languages and cultural backgrounds, her songs tell of unfulfilled desires of love and passion. The group Drunger und Drüber (In Trouble) takes an expression from the local Bernese dialect as a point of departure and presents songs originating in Vietnamese and newly composed for Liste with lyrics in a Swiss idiom. Performing on the street in front of the fair, Dong and her band appear as almost transcendent figures of some sort of Kitsch while encountering the interface of the globalized art world with a local dialect.
