Jeudi du Sauvage – Simone Oberrauch

A musical journey, for ages 5 and upAn accordion is used to make music.Every child knows that.But an accordion that travelsFrom one person to anotherAnd wears a big hat, tooHas more than one trick up its sleeve!Yesterday it was over there, today it’s here,Where will it be tomorrow? Perhaps at your house!

Performed by: Simone OberrauchDirected by: Ursula BleischExternal eye, music: Massimo Bertinelli

Biography

On her return to Europe, she performed and lived with the Bleisch Puppet Theatre in 2001/02 and, in collaboration with Ursula Bleisch, created her first children’s play, ‘Unanana’, inspired by an African folktale. Further productions for young audiences followed, with the interplay of music, song and movement remaining a key feature of her work. In 2023, she founded the ATZAR Company. She also teaches theatre and circus arts, directs school theatre projects, performs in various musical ensembles, takes part in dance-theatre productions, was a member of the additional choir at the Konzert Theater Bern, and can occasionally be found on the football pitch with her two sons.
