Save the date - the carousel of marriage invites you to a wild ride: Will you marry me? Yes? No? Maybe?
More than 800,000 people say "I do" in Germany every year - before God and/or the state, and the trend is rising again. But why do we get married? Because the heart wants it? Or the family? For the tax? For the right to stay? As a sign of equality? What makes this millennia-old institution so attractive to this day? Who is still excluded from its privileges? And what if, in the end, all that remains of the romance of marriage is a court ruling that it has failed? What would we lose if marriage were abolished?
To the bittersweet sounds of live organ music, marriage experts who are willing to marry, in love, engaged, married, divorced and widowed come together to question the narrative of the most beautiful day in life.
OLDSCHOOL, the senior ensemble of Schauspiel Köln, together with guests, occupies the wedding altar as a cross-generational ensemble, negotiates personal experiences from professional and married life, takes apart contract clauses, instigates wars of the roses and examines its own value on the marriage market - with lots of yeses, noes, ifs and buts.
