Word acrobat and pianist, actor and comedian: Like a red thread, wordplay and musical joy flow through Bodo Wartke's varied repertoire. Only a few German-speaking artists present themselves as versatile as the Berlin-based performer. No wonder that Bodo Wartke's shows are award-winning. Sometimes humorous, sometimes socially critical, he plays his way into the hearts of his audience.

His trademark is the unusual yet highly musical rhyme combined with catchy and also elaborate music. Language is always music to him, and music gives structure to language. Bodo Wartke uses his skills for a wide variety of topics – from playful rhyme studies to complex love songs to political and socially critical chansons. With his self-composed and -written songs, he has already created six piano cabaret programs as a solo artist; in addition, there are two more best-of programs with orchestras and one with his band. Furthermore, he has released two modern adaptations of ancient dramas in which he himself acts: King Oedipus and Antigone by Sophocles.

Whether tap dance numbers or poems, hits or freshly interpreted Mozart sonatas: Wartke's musical repertoire knows no bounds. And thematically, the artist dances at many weddings. From chanson brimming with wordplay like "Liebeslied," which he has set to music in 88 different languages, to socially critical pieces like "Monica" and politically motivated songs like "Hambacher Wald": The multifaceted pianist draws inspiration for texts and tones from the multifaceted facets of social and private life.
