Imagine

In the organizer's words:

Theater am Goetheplatz

A John Lennon song recital
Musical arrangements and musical direction: Yoel Gamzou
Scenic design: Tom Ryser, Stefan Rieckhoff

"With 'Imagine', Theater Bremen gives its audience around 105 minutes in a dream bubble full of goosebump moments. A sentimental and incredibly touching evening with overwhelming sounds, at the end of which a feeling somewhere between hope and melancholy remains," wrote the Weser-Kurier in October 2020 on the occasion of the premiere. Now it's back, the evening in which conductor Yoel Gamzou pays musical tribute to his idol John Lennon with songs arranged by himself for large orchestra, band, choir and an ensemble of actors and singers. John Lennon's dream of a world at peace suddenly seems far away: a world without borders, without suffering, in which all people are equal. John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono shared the message that all this was possible with the world through music, art actions and in numerous interviews. Until Lennon's life was ended by five bullets on December 8, 1980. And yet: "Give peace a chance!"
