In the organizer's words:
Musical comedy based on a grotesque opera libretto by Kurt Schwitters / Music by Ludger Vollmer
What is it about?
The astronomer Virmula observes the approach of a star whose collision with the earth would mean its end. A global state of emergency! Lovers swear eternal fidelity in the face of death, a new pop song is created, live reports about the comet are broadcast. Curious people, those tired of life and the press gather for the end of the world. Then Virmula discovers an error in his calculations. Will the collision happen or not? And which would be worse?
About the play
Together with Käthe Steinitz, Kurt Schwitters wrote this "grotesque opera" in 1927, which all sections of the Heidelberg Theater and Orchestra are now bringing to the stage together. Ludger Vollmer has set Schwitters' libretto to equally grotesque, revue-like, dazzling music. The composer, born in 1961, is currently one of the most frequently performed music theater composers with his works, including "Gegen die Wand", "Lola rennt" and "Tschick".
