Anna Depenbusch

Poetic storyteller

The prize-winning Hamburg singer-songwriter Anna Depenbusch is a poetic storyteller and a master of ruptures. She forges stories from truths, imagination and irony. She slips easily into the role of the lover, the wounded, the dreamer and observer. She whispers and whistles, quavers, sneers and moves – and sometimes, as in the dynamic »Haifischbarpolka«, flickering images of 1920s cabaret briefly scurry by.
