What makes a heroine? Does she need extraordinary powers – or is the courage to stand up for her own values enough? Is she a ruler, pop icon, superheroine or simply someone who shows moral courage in everyday life?
Together with schoolchildren from Cologne, presenter Tessniem Kadiri embarks on an exciting search for clues. Stories are told of courageous women from history and mythology. At the same time, the focus is on modern heroines and musical role models – from Florence Price to Captian Marvel.
In addition to historical and pop cultural perspectives, the focus is also on personal stories: who are our heroines today? And which characters from books, films or real life inspire us?
A concert full of strong personalities – human, musical and historical – that encourages courage and invites further reflection.
