Anna Mateur & the Beuys - Guardians of Chaos

Anna Mateur is this magnificent, wondrous phenomenon who, with her legendary vocal range and her hilariously serious sense of humor, eclipses everything in this country that tries to establish itself as “high art,” “low art,” “marginal art,” or “in-between art.” Anna Mateur is: Special Art.

Times change, but crises persist. There are still more guardians of order than guardians of chaos, which is why Anna must continue to guard the chaos.
What she’ll bring to the stage remains uncertain. Only one thing is certain: there will be everything—except a bouquet of colorful melodies.
And to get the right groove, Ms. Mateur surrounds herself only with the best musicians. Outstanding talents by her side: Samuel Halscheidt and Kim Efert on guitars.

*“Anna displays an uncompromising political stance directed against petty-bourgeois, nationalist, and other brazenly foolish attitudes. She is an extraordinary artist, a tragicomic anti-diva with fascinating girl power, who—with her sensitive yet at times ruthlessly ironic art—certainly doesn’t make only friends in conservative circles. But those who understand her have rarely laughed so hard...” (Prof. Kerstin Hensel, laudatory speech at the 2021 Lessing Prize of the Free State of Saxony) *
