With humor and tenderness
»The songs themselves are sad«, says Ernst Molden. »But the fact that they come into the world also makes them funny, because human destiny is funny.« Ursula Strauss also confirms that humor and failure go hand in hand. The Viennese singer-songwriter and the well-known film and television actress have been performing together for seven years. In their joint project »Wüdnis«, they tell of the wilderness within and between people, of the disguised war outside on the street and of escapes into the night, into the forest, into love. Molden wrote the songs, which are imbued with melancholy and humor, especially for this project. According to Ursula Strauss, »wilderness« is not just a negative word: »The wild, primal, unforced is just as much a part of this word - but also the deep abysses that dwell in every human being. So there is plenty of room in 'wilderness' - including the imperfect.«
