With his work »Melting Pot«, Bernhard Gander unites two worlds: a big orchestra meets rap, DJ, poetry slam, beatboxing and breakdance. Each genre retains its own sound, but is staged in a new way and given previously unknown freedom. The topics dealt with are of concern to the city - the local solists express what moves Cologne. Melting pot brings cultures and people together, overcoming borders and roles.
