More on the topic
49-year-old Kid Kola (Eric Chan) rose to fame as a DJ in the 90s. He was one of the first to elevate so-called “scratching” to an art form on turntables. He tours the world as a musician, he also draws graphic novels and devotes himself increasingly to theater.
“The Storyville Mosquito” is the title of Kid Colla's play at Schäferhaus Bochum. It doesn't have words, but offers lots of music and videos.
