Vladimir Korneev is the new artist in residence of the Kurt Weill Fest in Dessau in March 2020. He honors Kurt Weill’s life’s work with his new show “YOUKALI“ – named after the song Kurt Weill wrote in exile about an utopian land where everyone is respected, loved and welcome. This video clip was filmed during Vladimir Korneev's rehearsals for his upcoming show “YOUKALI“, which he will also present from the 11. March - 26. March at the high renowned german chanson theatre “Bar Jeder Vernunft“ in Berlin. Despite of huge successes like The Threepenny Opera, the work of Jewish composer Kurt Weill, who was born 1900 in Dessau and who matured to become an artist in Berlin's 1920s, has been forbidden by the the Nazis in 1933. Kurt Weill had to flee over Paris to New York and revolutionized the musical theatre on Broadway with pieces that were also filmed in Hollywood. Until his death in 1950 his artistic work was dedicated to the complete fusion of text, scene and music. _ Youkali C'est presque au bout du monde Ma barque vagabonde Errante au gré de l'onde M'y conduisit un jour L'île est toute petite Mais la fée qui l'habite Gentiment nous invite A en faire le tour Youkali C'est le pays de nos désirs Youkali C'est le bonheur, c'est le plaisir Youkali C'est la terre où l'on quitte tous les soucis C'est, dans notre nuit, comme une éclaircie L'étoile qu'on suit C'est Youkali Youkali C'est le respect De tous les Voeux échangés Youkali C'est le pays Des beaux amours partagés C'est l'espérance Qui est au coeur de tous les humains La délivrance Que nous attendons tous pour demain Youkali C'est le pays de nos désirs Youkali C'est le bonheur C'est le plaisir Mais c'est un rêve, une folie Il n'y a pas de Youkali Et la vie nous entraîne Lassante, quotidienne Mais la pauvre âme humaine Cherchant partout l'oubli A pour quitter la terre Su trouver le mystère Où nos rêves se terrent En quelques Youkali Youkali C'est le pays de nos désirs Youkali C'est le bonheur, c'est le plaisir Youkali C'est la terre où l'on quitte tous les soucis C'est, dans notre nuit, comme une éclaircie L'étoile qu'on suit C'est Youkali Youkali C'est le respect De tous les voeux échangés Youkali C'est le pays Des beaux amours partagés C'est l'espérance Qui est au coeur de tous les humains La délivrance Que nous attendons tous pour demain Youkali C'est le pays de nos désirs Youkali C'est le bonheur C'est le plaisir Mais c'est un rêve, une folie Il n'y a pas de Youkali _ English translation of YOUKALI:   It’s almost at the end of the world My vagabond boat Drifting with the stream of the waves Brought me there one day. The island is tiny But the fairy who lives there Gently invites us To go around the trip. Youkali, it’s the land of our desires Youkali, it’s happiness, it’s pleasure Youkali, is where you leave all your sorrows behind A shaft of light Deep in the night The star we follow It’s Youkali. Youkali, it’s the respect of all the exchanged wishes Youkali, it’s the land of beautiful shared loves It’s the hope In the heart of all humans The relief We all await for tomorrow. And the life leads us Tedious routine But the poor human soul Seeking oblivion everywhere By leaving the earth The mystery got solved Where our dreams hide In that Youkali. Youkali, it’s the country of our desires Youkali, it’s happiness, it’s pleasure Youkali, is where you leave all your sorrows behind A shaft of light Deep in the night The star we follow It’s Youkali. Youkali, it’s the respect of all the exchanged wishes Youkali, it’s the country of beautiful shared loves It’s the hope In the heart of all humans The relief We all await for tomorrow. Youkali, it’s the country of our desires Youkali, it’s happiness, it’s pleasure But it’s a dream, a folly There is no Youkali But it’s a dream, a folly There is no Youkali _ #kurtweill #concert #berlin #vladimirkorneev #youkali #singer #chanson #kurtweillfest #chansonsinger
