Schum Davar
"You have to have lived a life to be able to sing such chansons..." said a contemporary about Sandra Kreisler. And "Sandra always disturbs by thinking along." it was said in Vienna, the city she has long turned her back on. Because she indeed lives a life and thinks along. And this is exactly how her Jewish program comes across.
Schum davar means "no thing" or "nothing at all," but Schum is also the Hebrew word for garlic – much more "the Jew's food" than the onion, as Wilhelm Busch once disparagingly wrote. And Schum is also the name that Hasidic Jews once gave to the great city triad of Speyer, Worms, and Mainz, the three cities where the religious Hasidic movement could flourish so well.
This is the tension field in which the multiple award-winning chanteuse situates her program. Along this arc, she addresses contemporary Judaism, the German "ethno-tourist" – who loves to attend Klezmer concerts and simultaneously blames the conflict with the Palestinians solely on Israel – but also the question of whether songs are already "Jewish songs" just because a Jew writes or sings them.
This program does not come across as soft and gentle, but it still does not lack the lightness and the famously Jewish humor. A gallows humor, a dark humor, but also quirky and unconventional humor. In short, Kreisler presents herself in this program entirely in the tradition of her famous father Georg Kreisler, whose songs are as naturally included as current, yet completely unknown songs and hundreds of years old Stetl nigunim.
For Jewish identity cannot only be answered with references to religion, Israel, and/or the Holocaust. Can it even be answered how it is possible that a group of less than 0.2% of the world's population is discussed so persistently and prominently? And what has actually happened? Nothing at all?
The audience is confronted with more questions than answers in this program – because thinking along is something one must practice. Sandra Kreisler is predestined to pose these questions with her songs, and she does so with wit, charm, and a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. One must indeed have lived a life to be able to sing such chansons.
“She was an eruption in terms of liveliness. Sandra Kreisler, daughter of Georg Kreisler and Topsy Küppers, is an incredibly intense interpreter. There is, on the one hand, this old timbre, heavily tinged with smoke. And her presence! It eliminated (...) any distance. Kreisler was always up close and even closer. When she speaks, when she sings, when she chats with the audience, there is a physicality that grabs you.” — Badische Zeitung
