Geld ist Klasse – Marlene Engelhorn, Volker Lösch, Marlene Reiter, Lothar Kittstein

In the organizer's words:

Theater maker Volker Lösch, millionaire heiress Marlene Engelhorn and actress Marlene Reiter approach the topic of inequality from an unusual perspective: Together they perform a theatrical attack on excess wealth.

Money is Class is about wealth and power, inequality and excess wealth, money and justice, the good life for all and how it can really be achieved.

Together with author Lothar Kittstein, Engelhorn, Reiter and Lösch are developing a play that sheds light on many facets of the topic. It deals with the origins of inequality and uncovers the tricks used by the rich to disguise themselves and immunize themselves against criticism. It deals with the dangers for democracy, the potential for violence of unregulated wealth, but also the possibilities for change. Documentary sections, personal stories and fictional scenes combine to create a hybrid whole that is intended to do one thing above all: A desire for change. With Marlene Engelhorn, who is the first wealthy person on a theater stage to provide self-critical insights into the closed-off world of the super-rich, Money is Class makes the cognitive process vivid and shows that change can only be achieved together - the poor, the rich and politicians must become equally active.
