About this event

SWR1 Pop & Poesie in Concert is a live show by SWR1 Baden-Württemberg that combines concert performance, readings, comedy, and show elements. The concept presents well-known songs in individual German translations while musicians perform the music live. The Heidenheim program is titled “Viva la Vida.” The event presents the title both as a reference to Coldplay’s song and as a thematic expression of celebrating life in its diversity. Jochen Stöckle is identified as the moderator. The page also mentions David Bowie, Alanis Morissette, and Lady Gaga in relation to the broader show concept, but does not assign these artists to specific contributors for the Heidenheim date.
