German TV-host, singer and actress Sylvia Brécko is set for her first Adelaide Fringe – and she’s doing it Her Way! A little bit Cabaret and a little bit Kabarett, her show will make you laugh about life, think about love, and wonder at what it means to be a woman.
Brécko’s original cabaret shows explore all facets of human interaction, in particular our relationship with those nearest and dearest to us. Her current shows “Liebling, wir müssen reden!” (“Darling, we need to talk!”) and “Liebling, wie war ich?” (“Darling, was I any good?”) explore issues of language and communication with that very special loved one.
For Fringe she will develop a brand new show that will continue to explore these themes alongside issues of Women in Society and her observations of Australian mentality as compared to German attitudes to life and love.
Brécko first visited Australia in 2002, has returned ‘down under’ numerous times and continues to be fascinated by this country and its people.
She has also performed in Australia, with her first stage appearance being in 2004 in Sydney. In 2007 she hosted the gala evening of Sydney’s German-Australian Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
Brécko’s shows are half spoken, half music based. She mainly performs Swing and Chanson, usually accompanied by piano or ukulele. She likes to cite smart women such as Marlene Dietrich and Edith Piaf, and has been known to sing one or two of their songs (e.g. in her 2003-07 show “Mythos” (“Myth”), which explored the life of famous women).
For her Adelaide Fringe premiere, songs will be sung partly in English, partly in German with translations provided before, during or after the song.
“Sylvia is a beautiful entertainer: my wife and I just love her shows!” (Günther Klum, Father of Supermodel Heidi Klum)
