The duo “Adrenaline & Placebo” pairs upbeat feel-good music with subtle linguistic humor in sparkling cabaret numbers to help unwind tension. At the Goethe-Institut Brussels, the passionate musician and the singer-songwriter present a show featuring two voices, accordion, and guitar/banjo. For one evening, they take the audience on a train journey with “Deutsche Wahn AG.”

In their toolkit are witty pieces like “I Can’t Do Small Talk,” “Language Junkie,” and “Winged Wordsmith.” More quirky characters push their way into the limelight: a favorite neighbor with “Helper Star Syndrome,” the “Homo Sapiens First Class,” a lady in “Handbag Frenzy,” and tourists fruitlessly searching for the last true locals. The satire culminates in the scandal-tainted “Black Cherry Cream Cake” bearing an official seal.

Since April 2025, Belgian-based musician and Germanist Constanze Schwarzer and translator-teacher-author BanJoe Combüchen have been touring with their refreshing cabaret show Made in Belgium. The German cabaret artists have irrevocably devoted themselves to their multilingual host country Belgium.
