An Intergalactic Musical by Madame Nielsen & Christian Lollike
A hit parade to Mars. — Here you finally get to know the super-rich with all their worries and hardships.
Three multi-billionaires meet in a bar. What sounds like the beginning of a joke is the starting point for a scurrilous and, at the same time, melancholic musical comedy set between Silicon Valley and Mars, written and composed by the Danish multidisciplinary artist Madame Nielsen.
Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg encounter each other by chance in a nightclub. They have money, lots of money, but they feel bad because things are not going well for so many people around the globe. With conflicting ideas about how to save the world, they set off instead for the stars to finally create a perfect world out of red dust. A satirical musical trip about the worries and dreams of the super-rich.
With a psychedelic sound halfway between David Bowie and Tom Waits, and an atmosphere bouncing between Stanley Kubrick and Monty Python, “Very Rich Angels” is the first theatrical production developed for the German-speaking world by celebrated Danish director Christian Lollike and Madame Nielsen, whose novels including “The Endless Summer”, “The Monster” and “Lamento” are also bestsellers in Germany. Beware of the Angels! Follow them to Mars!
“Trotzdem wird diese Produktion mit ihrem grandiosen Ensemble sicherlich zum Summerrunner der Saison.”
“Höchstes Lob für Katrin Bombes Bühne im Stile des legendären Gemäldes von Edward Hopper, hauptsächlich aber für ihre Masken, denn nicht nur die Wesen vom fremden Stern sind mit ihren ägyptisch inspirierten Köpfen umwerfend utopisch gestylt.”
„Das alles ist (…) ganz zweifellos gut gemacht, und dies gilt schon allein für die Musikeinlagen.“
