Strangers in the Night

A dance show by Mirko Mahr to songs by Frank Sinatra | Concept and spoken word by Philipp J. Neumann

from 14 years

In the middle of the night in a bar. The party reached its climax hours ago - time to go home, right? No, now it's just getting started! Somewhere between sunset and dawn, an electrifying, surreal and nostalgic atmosphere unfolds, led by the entertainer Frank - is it Frank Sinatra himself? Over the Sinatra songs, the party guests experience a wide variety of situations that night, from show performances to romantic memories, from intoxication to arguments.

In "Strangers in the Night", choreographer Mirko Mahr uses the sensual language of dance to illuminate not only a party night with the world-famous songs of Frank Sinatra, but also the life of the legendary artist. The inspiration for this: Sinatra usually stayed awake all night for fear of the dark and often invited guests over to party with him. Based on a concept by Philipp J. Neumann, the production frames the song "My Way" in particular as clearly as the sunlight frames the party night and hints at the immortality of Sinatra's music.
