Michael Fehr

Michael Fehr (*1982, Bern, Switzerland) is a stage maverick. In his performances, he transforms words into sound and stories into music, until the point of redemption. Each of his performances is a unique experience that cannot be recreated. The Bern based lyricist, writer and musician was recently awarded the renowned Kelag prize at the Ingeborg-Bachman-Competition. In 2015, he won the Bayern2-Wortspiele-Preis, which awarded him a one-month fellowship at Villa Aurora. His live cantations of sound and poetry will be accompanied by guitarist Manuel Troller (excerpt from: Theater am Neumarkt, Zürich).

Manuel Troller (*1986, Lucerne, Switzerland), guitarist and composer, is actively working in diverse musical genres. Since 2006, he plays and composes with the internationally active Band Schnellertollermeier – who plays music without compromises, ranging from free improvisation, Hardcore-Jazz, modern composition to brute rock music – but feels just as home in Pop.
