“Måske er du ikke den smukkeste, måske er du ikke den sejeste, måske er du ikke den mest perfekte, men lægger du alle dine evner sammen, hvad bliver du så? Fabulous!” - Cher STRONG ENOUGH er en bodegakoncert, en fest og et fællesskab, hvor et teaterband sammen med sit publikum kredser om popikonet Chers mantra: “If you’re waiting for someone to believe in you, you’ll be waiting forever, you must believe in yourself!”.
Cher har manifesteret sin tilstedeværelse i popkulturen gennem syv årtier. Hendes alsidige bagkatalog vidner om en uovervindelig formåen til at genopfinde og aktualisere sig selv igen og igen. Med set-listen som koncertens dramaturgi spørger teaterbandet mellem numrene sig selv og publikum, hvad det vil sige at være strong enough i en verden, hvor man konstant performer sig selv. Cher viser os vej; og performere og publikum kan dykke ned i musikkens guilty pleasures!
Forestillingen havde premiere på Café Viking på Nørrebro i København, og blev præsenteret i samarbejde med S/H.
PRESSEN SKREV:
“Det er en både vigtig og (evig) aktuel fortælling, og Strong Enough er et underholdende og måske ikke mindst afslappet og inddragende koncept, hvor vi lader skuldrene falde og skråler med. (…)
Det stærke greb i Strong Enough er musikarrangementerne, der tør tage Chers sange nye steder hen. Især den sarte, sprogblandede fortolkning af Believe, med Anna Bob Fredslunds varme stemme i kinddans med Ingvild Skansens helt spinkle autotune-sound. Så rejste de små hår sig i nakken og salen sukkede Åh, ja.”

“Hun har været her før os alle. Hun er kulturarv! Cher har set det hele, vi kan spejle os i hende, hun viser os verden, det er ikke et kønt syn, men hun påtager sig generøst opgaven. Cher er en ledestjerne. Vi kan kalde på hende, når noget er svært, vi kan altid have hende med os, bruge hendes styrke og attitude og altid huske, at vi gerne må være her!”

“Maybe you're not the prettiest, maybe you're not the coolest, maybe you're not the most perfect, but if you put all your skills together, what will you be? Fabulous!” - Cher
STRONG ENOUGH is a bodega concert, a party and a community, where a theater band together with its audience explore the mantra of pop icon Cher: "If you're waiting for someone to believe in you, you'll be waiting forever, you must believe in yourself!”.
Cher has manifested her presence in pop culture for seven decades. Her versatile work testifies an invincible ability to reinvent and actualize herself again and again. With the set list as the dramaturgy of the concert, the theater band asks itself and the audience between the acts what it means to be strong enough in a world where you constantly perform yourself. Cher shows us the way, and performers and audiences can delve into the guilty pleasures of music
The performance premiered at Café Viking in Nørrebro, Copenhagen, and was presented in collaboration with S/H.
THE PRESS WROTE:
"It is both an important and an (eternal) current story, and Strong Enough is an entertaining and perhaps not least a relaxed and engaging concept, where we let our shoulders drop and shout along. (…)
The strength of Strong Enough is the musical arrangements that dare to take Cher's songs in new directions. Especially the delicate, tongue-in-cheek interpretation of Believe, with Anna Bob Fredslund's warm voice slow-dancing with Ingvild Skansen's completely delicate autotune sound. Then the goose bumps came and the venue sighed Oh, yes.”
- Anne Liisberg, Iscene.dk
“She has been here before all of us. She is our heritage! Cher has seen it all, we can mirror ourselves in her, she shows us the world, it's not a pretty sight, but she generously takes on the task. Cher is a leading star. We can call on her when something is difficult, we can always have her with us, use her strength and attitude and always remember that we want to be here!”
- Sarah Von Essen, Weekendavisen
