VIPs only!

Eight performers research the sustainability of idols and role models and give us an individual insight into their respective desires and dreamscapes. During the search for very important people, as well as very unimportant people, the idols are outed, updated, ripped apart and let loose against each other. They confront each other and the audience humorously and mercilessly with the utopia of an optimal human being and thus reveal the highly controversial ideas of the ideals and desires for societal acceptance. And, in the background, perhaps the avatars of Elton John, Lady Di, Bud Spencer, PJ Harvey, Michael Schumacher, Otto Waalkes, Angela Merkel, Rune Jarstein or Udo Jürgens might pop up as well.

In VIPs only! geht es um wichtige Personen.
VIP ist englisch. Es bedeutet sehr wichtige Person.
Auf der Suche nach den wichtigen Personen fragen wir nach Vorbildern.
Alle Menschen haben Vorbilder.
Die Vorbilder machen wir nach.
Zu diesen Vorbildern gehören zum Beispiel Bud Spencer, Angela Merkel und Elton John.
Wichtige Personen müssen gar nicht berühmt sein.
Trotzdem können sie wichtig sein.
Darum geht es in dem Stück.

If you had the chance to be someone else for a day, who would you be?
“Angela Merkel. Seriously. Angela Merkel. Really.”
“Someone with a penis. To be able to pee standing up. Or a baby in their mother’s belly. But then I would need to be myself again, to know how it was.”
“A person who can think a lot.”
“Justin’s pillow – then I would be sleeping with him.”
“Not a celebrity, but instead a happy person who isn’t famous but who also doesn’t have to live with anorexia or something like that.”
“A person who is completely different from who I am.”

VIPs only! zeigen wir am 1. + 8. September mit Audiodeskription für blinde und sehbehinderte Menschen. Vor den Vorstellungen gibt es eine Tastführung, um das Bühnenbild und die Kostüme kennenzulernen. Die Tastführung findet um 19 Uhr statt und wir treffen uns dafür im Theaterfoyer.
