71 appointments, three hours of concert, each time a spectacle: Helene Fischer is touring the country again, hundreds of thousands want to see the singer. How does she do it?
Helene Fischer lies in her friend Thomas Seitel’s lap. He kneels in front of her, shirtless, encloses her in his arms. She is barefoot and wears only a short, green dress. “So we stand hand in hand here. Deeply connected, for a lifetime,” sings Fischer. A rope pulls the two up. They whirl in the air, turning on their own axis. A ring of water surrounds the lovers: thousands of drops fall from the ceiling, creating patterns and glittering in the light like diamonds. Fischer sings: “We can feel each other, endure everything. We’re getting stronger every day, hand in hand.”
