An event as part of the POSITIONEN · Theater der Gegenwart – Music Performance
Sooner or later, it had to happen: Jelena Popržan's solo program. About 10 years ago, she started making her mark on Vienna’s stages with the duo Catch-Pop String-Strong, and with Madame Baheux and Sormeh, she solidified her reputation as an inventive arranger, expressive vocal artist, and entertainer with comedic talent and political engagement. Wherever one wants to stylistically locate her: New & Old Music, World, Singer-Songwriting, Cabaret, New Viennese Song, Folk, Jazz, or whatever, Popržan absorbs the nectar from all these genres and lets her unique blend ferment. A varied revue can be expected, featuring songs, compositions, sounds. Homages to forgotten traditions and unforgettable new works!
„…empathically charged, incredibly precise vocal and viola acrobat…“
Jörg Duit – Radio Ö1
„…Music and singing, which Popržan leads with charisma…“
Michael Wurmlitzer – Der Standard
„…Genius musical invention…“
Heinz Wagner – Kurier
