Imagine: John Lennon - eine Hommage

A Biographical Musical Evening

December 1980:John Lennon is shot dead on a New York street by a fanatic fan. The outpouring of sympathy around the world knows no bounds. The Lennon legend is born: an unattainable idol, a brilliant musician, a champion of peace, freedom, and equality, a loving husband.

But this image begins to blur when you look more closely. Behind the global superstar is a man who lost his mother at a young age and, with the Beatles, was thrust into the public eye from which there was no escape. The band broke up, his first marriage failed, and his second marriage to Yoko Ono was publicly celebrated as a form of political art.

The side effects of this life in the fast lane: drugs, mental health crises, violence, and betrayal.

*Imagine*is a search for clues—and a tribute to this exceptional artist, whose message of “Love & Peace” transformed an entire generation. Precisely because Lennon’s own life was marked by loss, turmoil, and contradictions, this message doesn’t sound like a slogan here, but rather like a longing.
