It\u2019s so good you are here,\u201d Bernhard Bentgens greets seventeen men and women inside the landmarked <a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/en\/reverberating-workshop-walls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">railway maintenance depot in Heidelberg<\/a>. The place where, for decades, waggons had been repaired is now the place where one of the arguably most unusual ensembles of the Metropolitan region meets for rehearsals every Tuesday from 6 pm to 8 pm. For what had once been an industrial site has long since been turned into an area for creative projects and events; and music, too, is at home here. And right in the middle of it all is\u2014the Heidelberg Complaints Choir.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_072.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_072-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_072-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_072-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_072-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_072-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_072.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>It was founded in September 2014 during the <a href=\"https:\/\/wir-schaffen-was.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">volunteer day of the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region<\/a>. An advisory panel for people with disabilities in the city of Heidelberg had offered a workshop at the time, during which 30 people worked together to write lyrics for melodies. Was that the end of the song? Far from it. Because since then, the mixed amateur choir has been singing about the usual obstacles that make everyday life difficult for people with disabilities and impairments in a humorous way. There are Complaints Choirs in many countries, the first of which was founded in the mid-2000s in England. In Heidelberg, the spontaneous project has by now evolved into a permanent fixture: a non-profit association that now has about 40 members.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_068.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_068-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_068-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_068-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_068-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_068-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_068.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In an upbeat mood: choir director Bernhard Bentgens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its director is Bernhard Bentgens. Before the singers start with their warm-up, circling their hips and stretching their vocal cords by chiming \u201cha-ha-ha, he-he-he\u201d, Bernhard has an announcement to make. It is about a performance in the main street of Heidelberg. Susanne says: \u201cI don\u2019t dare to do that.\u201d Manfred suggests: \u201cYou can mingle with the audience and sing along, then people will wonder why you know the songs so well.\u201d Everyone laughs. Bernhard wants to bring the topic of inclusion to the streets\u2014literally\u2014to attract as much attention as possible. \u201cWe wait until the people stop and gather in the street; and the more there are, the sooner the police will arrive. This is our aim.\u201d Again, there is laughter. Bernhard strikes the first notes on the piano. \u201cHa-ha-ha, he-he-he\u201d. This is followed by the first song. \u201cA bird comes flying\u2026\u201d, the first stanzas are quite familiar. But the third stanza goes \u201cI am disabled and happy. I am disabled as it is. I am disabled and happy. And this is how it is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is how it is when you know what disability really means. If you, like Hermann, lost both your legs and your eyesight in your mid-20s due to a gas explosion in your house. Or if you have schizophrenia like Moyu. Or if you have osteoporosis and Parkinson\u2019s disease like Renate. Or if you are a person of short stature like Sabine. \u201cA loo, a loo, where is a loo? Show me fast a wheelchair loo, I need it, yes I do!\u201d the men and women sing to the tune of \u201cSex Bomb\u201d. The members of the choir and Bernhard wrote the lyrics themselves. The topics are challenges like inaccessible tinned tomatoes on a supermarket shelf, stairs and cobbled streets but also mental illnesses. Like in the song to a tune by Sting where it says \u201cmentally ill, express yourself, don\u2019t stay alone. Depression must not be a stigma any more. I don\u2019t want to hide how I really am. Acceptance is an asset for everyone. For insanity, too, is alive and has a purpose.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mentally ill, express yourself, don\u2019t stay alone.

For insanity, too, is alive and has a purpose.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Bernhard is not content with the recorders that come into play in the song \u201cBe aware of the stairs\u201d. \u201cWhat beautiful flute music you made,\u201d the choir director says. The lean man with the wide smile and grey curly hair is not the kind of person who bangs his fist on the table or makes a fuss when something isn\u2019t running smoothly. He uses irony. Because what he really wants to say is that the recorders went awry completely. So, once again it is.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_046.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_046-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_046-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_046-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_046-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_046-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_046.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bernhard is a pro. Born in 1956, he grew up in a strict Catholic household in the Ruhr region and studied Church Music at the Folkwang University of the Arts (Folkwang Hochschule) in Essen. \u201cThat was the only possible way to convince my parents to let me study music.\u201d There were no instruments in his family, but a season ticket for the opera, as he recounts. Because, quite often, his father did not want to go, he accompanied his mother. At the age of 14, he saw \u201cElektra\u201d by Richard Strauss in the opera house Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Duisburg\u2014this was a decisive experience. \u201cThe curtain opened and I had goosebumps for two hours,\u201d he remembers. After that, he taught himself to play instruments, first the guitar, then the piano. The goosebumps become his leitmotif. He wants to know: \u201cHow can I manage to affect people with music; how can I touch them emotionally?\u201d He tried out a lot of things to achieve this goal; he cooperates with the <a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wussten-sie-dass-in-mannheim-2\/\">Mannheim National Theatre<\/a> and the city theatre of Heidelberg; he is a freelance composer and performs as a clown at festivals, cooperates with different orchestras and together with his wife he founded a school in Southern Hesse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_069.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_069-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_069-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_069-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_069-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_069-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_069.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And he conducts choirs, mostly professional groups. What he really loves, though, are the amateur ensembles. \u201cThey gain their quality by being fully committed to it,\u201d Bernhard says. In a professional choir, he, as the director, is the boss; in the Complaints Choir everyone is equal. \u201cNo-one has the absolute authority. Rather the responsibility is shared by all. The choir invents itself.\u201d This fits in really well with the topic of inclusion, as Bernhard sees it. He has a very clear opinion about what is still going wrong in the municipalities. \u201cA lot has been achieved; many municipalities have an inclusion commissioner. But that is not enough.\u201d The aim of the Complaints Choir is to convey this criticism without a moralising undertone and in a fun way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ensemble, however, is also there for the people who make it up. Sabine, for instance, has been a member for ten years. She likes to be part of it, especially because of Bernhard\u2019s crazy ideas. As a person of short stature, she is used to people looking at her askance, but she says to herself: \u201cIt used to be worse in the past. Back then, short stature was seen as synonymous with a lack of ability to perform.\u201d Sabine studied social work and has been working in the self-help office in Heidelberg for 30 years. Moyu has had schizophrenia for many years now. She can understand that people consider her difficult because her mood can change rapidly. Nonetheless, she wants to be treated normally, and she wants to break down the social stigma surrounding mental illness. \u201cI am very open about my condition and receive lots of understanding both in my private life and at work.\u201d Renate became part of the choir at the volunteer day in 2014 and has been a member ever since. \u201cEnthusiastically! When we sing together in harmony my body is flooded by feelings of happiness,\u201d she says.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_015-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_015-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_015-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_015-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_015-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beschwerdechor_015.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s now time for the umbrellas. They symbolise the protective shield that autists lack. \u201cI didn\u2019t receive a protective shield for this world. But nobody believes me how much I perceive. I didn\u2019t receive a protective shield for this world. Everything\u2019s so colourful and vibrant and bright, and I\u2019m supposed to behave,\u201d the members of the Complaints Choir sing, unfolding multicoloured umbrellas above their heads. In 2019, the Complaints Choir adopted an official programme called \u201cCircus Inclusioni\u201d. Since then, all singers wear red ringmaster\u2019s jackets at performances. Because their message is: Our topics are serious\u2014let\u2019s laugh about it. And let\u2019s embrace our differences together.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beschwerdechor-heidelberg.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/beschwerdechor-heidelberg.de\/<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Heidelberg Complaints Choir was formed during the volunteer day of the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region in 2014.
