If turquoise-blue is the answer,

how stupid was the question then?

The Maxim Gorki Theater's canteen and its surrounding rooms become a Viennese tavern. The audience is invited to their folk play à la Horváth meets Sargnagel. A legendary evening of "Die Gösis" with numerous members of the ensemble, employees behind the scenes who dare to go on stage and many friends.

 

Premiere on April 15, 2019 | Maxim Gorki Theater | Berlin

Marianne (Mareike Beykirch) and Valerie (Anastasia Gubareva) want to celebrate their engagement - with themselves and with Austria. All sorts of guests of honor are arriving - the Federal Chancellor (Vidina Popov) himself has announced his attendance - to toast "marriage for all" with the Magic King (Mehmet Ateşci) and to make the new home more appealing to the engaged couple. Austrian sayings such as "A feuchter Fetzn wird schnell wieder nass!" (A wet cloth gets wet again quickly!) are examined for their political significance and made accessible through culinary means. Short drinks and spritzers are served and DJ Zirbe, Lindy Larsson, Orit Nahmias and Valentin Butt provide the musical entertainment.
