Saturday Night Fever

In the organizer's words:


On the program from October 18: The disco musical "Saturday Night Fever" celebrates its premiere at the Atelier Unterkirchen!

The dance musical, which made John Travolta a world star, provides a real disco feeling in the Atelier with the legendary hits of the BeeGees and tells the moving story of a youth gang in America in the 1970s.

Disco as a way of life: "Saturday Night Fever" tells one of the best-known and most popular dance stories of all time. With the Bee Gees' legendary hits such as "Stayin' Alive", "Night Fever" and "How Deep Is Your Love?", this world-famous musical brings the stage to life. At the same time, the tragic-comic story also leaves room for quiet and serious tones and tells directly and grippingly about the abysses of a society and the search for meaning and identity among young people.

Tony Manero is a young Italian-American who works in a paint store in the New York suburb of Brooklyn. Every Saturday night you can meet him at the disco "2001 Odyssey": on the dance floor he can be completely in the moment and forget his dreary everyday life in the intoxication of the dance. He wants to escape the lack of prospects, stop being a paint salesman and live at home with his parents as the sole breadwinner. He dreams of a better life outside Brooklyn. But his escape into the world of the show is accompanied by deep conflicts, and not just in Tony Manero's family. Tony and his friends experience first-hand how difficult it is to try something new when no one else believes in you. Tony sees his big chance in a dance competition at the "2001 Odyssey", for which he trains hard with his unapproachable dance partner Stephanie until he slowly sees more in her ...

The movie "Saturday Night Fever" triggered a worldwide disco wave at the end of the 1970s and made leading actor John Travolta a star overnight. Based on the cult film and the timeless music of the Bee Gees, the musical depicts the era of disco with gaudy costumes, glittering disco balls and rousing dances. The musical version celebrated its world premiere on May 5, 1998 at the London Palladium and has thrilled millions of viewers ever since.

With the music to "Saturday Night Fever", the Australian-English music group "BeeGees" became superstars of the disco era: with over 24 weeks at the top of the album charts, the soundtrack was the best-selling album of all time worldwide until the 1990s. Numerous songs such as "Stayin' Alive", "Night Fever" and "How Deep Is Your Love?" became legendary disco hits. With their skillful songwriting and perfect vocal harmonies, Robin, Maurice and Barry Gibb created an unmistakable and unique sound.
