The cultural studies expert Caspar Battegay explores our fascination with Leonard Cohen’s unique voice looking at literary and pop-cultural cues and allusions in the link between sounds and words, and at the influences of politics and Jewishness on the artist‘s work. Fresh interpretations of classics such as Suzanne, Who by Fire and The Future reveal Cohen as an iconic prophet, whose voice will continue to live on and resonate in the future.

After a discussion about the book between Tilman Vogt and the author Caspar Battegay, Daniel Kahn and Marina Frenk perform Leonard Cohen’s most beautiful songs.
