Xavier Naidoo
Xavier Kurt Naidoo (born October 2, 1971), also known by his stage name Kobra, is a German Soul and R&B singer/songwriter, record producer, and occasional actor.
Career
Born and raised in Mannheim, Naidoo worked in several jobs in the food and music industries before relocating to the United States in the early 1990s, where he released his first full-length English-language album Seeing Is Believing under his stage name Kobra in 1994. He currently resides in his native Germany.
After working as a backing vocalist for the Rödelheim Hartreim Projekt and 3P label mates Sabrina Setlur and Illmat!c, Naidoo released his first German language album Nicht von dieser Welt in 1998, for which he won an ECHO Award and an MTV Europe Music Award. Selling more than one million copies in total, it produced six singles, including "Seine Straßen" and "Sie sieht mich nicht", the latter of which served as the theme song for Astérix & Obélix Take on Caesar (1999). After his highly publicized departure from 3P, his third studio album Zwischenspiel – Alles für den Herrn was released in 2002. It spawned the top five hit singles "Wo willst du hin?" and "Abschied nehmen" and led to a collaboration with Wu-Tang Clan member and producer RZA, with whom he released his first number-one single "Ich kenne nichts (das so schön ist wie du)" in 2003.

Howard Barker
Howard E. Barker (born 28 June 1946) is a British playwright.
The Theatre of Catastrophe
Barker has coined the term "Theatre of Catastrophe" to describe his work. His plays often explore violence, sexuality, the desire for power, and human motivation.
Rejecting the widespread notion that an audience should share a single response to the events onstage, Barker works to fragment response, forcing each viewer to wrestle with the play alone. "We must overcome the urge to do things in unison" he writes. "To chant together, to hum banal tunes together, is not collectivity." Where other playwrights might clarify a scene, Barker seeks to render it more complex, ambiguous, and unstable.
Only through a tragic renaissance, Barker argues, will beauty and poetry return to the stage. "Tragedy liberates language from banality" he asserts. "It returns poetry to speech."
Themes
Barker frequently turns to historical events for inspiration. His play Scenes from an Execution, for example, centers on the aftermath of the Battle of Lepanto (1571) and a fictional female artist commissioned to create a commemorative painting of the Venetian victory over the Ottoman fleet. Scenes from an Execution, originally written for Radio 3 and starring Glenda Jackson in 1984, was later adapted for the stage. The short play Judith revolves around the Biblical story of Judith, the legendary heroine who decapitated the invading general Holofernes.

Kleines Lied
by: Xavier NaidooAngst hat keine Freunde,
trotzdem kennt man sie gut
denn sie macht sich lieber Feinde
und sie frisst am liebsten Mut
Keiner kann sie leiden
doch sie hat jeden gern
sie kennt auch jeden Menschen
ganz egal ob nah ob fern
ich bin dein kleines Lied
ich stärk dich bei Gefahr
egal was auch geschieht
ich bin für dich da
einmal in deinen Ohren
geh ich da nie mehr raus
denn ich hab es mir geschworen
ich schütz dich und dein Haus
Deine Angst ist wohl auch meine
denn sie lebt von dir und mir
im Dunklen und alleine
nagt sie an mir und dir
wir könnten uns verbünden
wir beide, du und ich
und unsre Angst ergründen
ich lass dich nicht im stich
denn ich bin dein kleines Lied
ich stärk dich bei Gefahr
egal was auch geschieht
ich bin für dich da
einmal in deinen Ohren
geh ich da nie mehr raus
denn ich hab es mir schworen
ich schütz dich und dein Haus
jetzt bist du meine Heimat
denn in dir geht es mir gut
dein Herz ist meine Einfahrt
dein lauschen wird mein Mut
wir beide unzertrennlich
wir jagen alle Ängste fort
denn ich weiß du erkennst mich
auch am dunkelsten Ort
denn ich bin dein kleines Lied
ich stärk dich bei Gefahr
egal was auch geschieht
ich bin für dich da
einmal in deinen Ohren
geh ich da nie mehr raus
denn ich hab es mir schworen
ich schütz dich und dein Haus
ich schütz dich und dein Haus
ich schütz dich und dein Haus
