Mani Matter: songwriter, troubadour and poet. But also a civil servant, critic, politician and family man. Following in Mani Matter's footsteps through Bern's alleyways and arcades, you will become acquainted with his lesser-known sides, with National Councillors and Bünzlis.
Who doesn't know him: whether for veterans or Bernese by choice, his philosophical masterpieces are part of childhood, an expression of Bern's attitude to life or simply witty suggestions to pause for thought. The tour takes visitors on a biographical and musical journey through the life of this multi-faceted singer-songwriter. It reveals aspects of a well-known Bernese artist that are surprising here and familiar melodies there. The characters on this tour all come from Mani Matter's song lyrics and the figures brought to life use his language.
