Jens Fischer Rodrian - "Alles nur geliehen"

In classic spoken word style, the Corona period, the Ukraine war and the loss of press freedom are addressed, among other things.

The poetic lines express a subversive attitude, a will to resist that does not aim for pathos, but appeals to humanity.

Self-determination, the rule of law and justice are thematically in the foreground. The pieces also express solidarity with dissidents and dissidents such as Julian Assange. Lyrically, the spoken word titles testify to a haunting, figurative language. Musically, they are accompanied by rich timbres that sometimes seem spherical.

The result is as powerful as it is haunting, as rebellious as it is compassionate. A poetic contemporary document that makes you think and at the same time gives you courage.
