Astrid Stockman - Make America sing again

What if you were to get to know a country through its music? Not through booming headlines, truthful or untruthful one-liners from presidents or dry history books, but through catchy melodies, timeless choruses and hidden gems? In her new show, Astrid Stockman de Verenigde Staten van Amerika explores through its artists. The journey leads from the beloved songs of The Great American Songbook to folk, Broadway, crooners, jazz and so much further. How does the American dream resonate through this music? And what remains of all ideals when reality can no longer be escaped? With music and stories, Astrid weaves a journey full of wonder through a rich musical treasure chest, from Foster to Fitzgerald, along American themes that may turn out to be not so far from home after all. For those who are curious about what a country really tells you when you listen to what it sings.
