Waltz for Nobody in Bochum: Sophie Hunger connects language, sound, and goosebumps

On May 4, 2026, the Swiss exceptional artist Sophie Hunger will bring her stage program 'Waltz for Nobody' to the Schauspielhaus Bochum. Between reading and songs, she unfolds an intense concert experience that combines literature, songwriting, and auditory finesse into an atmospheric evening.

Magic between Reading & Songs

Hunger reads passages from her debut novel and creates a bridge with her own composed songs that spans from delicate intimacy to energetic density. The audience's mood is continuously palpable, becoming denser with each piece.

Song Poetry with Depth

Blending folk, pop, and fine electronic textures, Hunger showcases her signature: careful orchestration, finely balanced dynamics, and a confident stage performance. In the synchronization of text and music, cinematic images emerge; small gestures, a breath at the microphone, a brief conduct of the band – the space tilts into pure attention.

Sophie Hunger has been shaping the European songwriter scene for years, performing on significant stages and curating festivals. Her oeuvre ranges from intimate ballads to analog synth designs – always with precise sound and a dramatic narrative arc.
