Robert Nippoldt & das Green Light Ensemble - Der große Gatsby - Musikalische Lesung mit Live-Zeichnungen

In the organizer's words:

Long Island in 1922: every evening, New York high society in search of sex and distraction amuses itself at the magnificent estate of young millionaire Jay Gatsby.
But the mysterious host himself has no interest in the lavish parties.
Behind his dazzling façade, he hides a deep longing for the one person who is unattainable for him. A longing that becomes an obsession.
F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece from 1925 paints a poetic portrait of the Roaring Twenties.
In the style of Art Deco, book artist Robert Nippoldt has now created a magnificently illustrated new edition of this classic novel - and brings it to the stage with his program "The Great Gatsby - A Musical Reading with Live Drawings"!

ROBERT NIPPOLDT (live drawings, paper animation, lecture)
The illustrator and book artist is known for his internationally award-winning book trilogy "Gangster, Jazz & Hollywood" and the multi-award-winning book "Es wird Nacht im Berlin der wilden Zwanziger".
In addition to his work as an illustrator at the old goods station in Münster, he occasionally strays onto the stage in changing programs.

GREEN LIGHT ENSEMBLE (reading, music, performance)
The freelance actor and director Ari Nadkarni breathes life into F. Scott Ftzgerald's texts. He guides the audience through the moving story of Tom, Daisy and Gatsby in a gripping way and partly in the original English.
Pianist Philip Ritter and singer Lotta Stein are already known from the poetic amusement show "Ein rätselhafter Schimmer" as part of the Trio Größenwahn. Remaining true to their 1920s style, they travel to the other side of the Atlantic in this program and dive deep into the American hits of the Roaring Twenties - with their very own twist.
own twist.
