Billed as a theatrical skills competition, the production "GELD" is a humorous, enlightening, clever and artistic exploration of the eponymous topic in all its complexity. At the beginning, the three performers puzzle over whether the audience won't be bored by a theatre piece on the subject of money, which is quickly answered in the negative. The ensemble radiates joy and energy right from the start, involves the audience in the play, gives each other space and impresses with a furious mix of singing, dancing and acting. The director constantly finds new, surprising thematic approaches, resulting in one original scene after the next and keeping always the audience in mind; all supported by texts that are not ingratiatingly simple, but challenging in the best sense of the word.
The production "GELD" wants people to think and critically scrutinise. For example, the connection between 'financial starting conditions' and 'opportunities in people's lives' is negotiated in rhetorical questions. It is also about economic cycles and financial systems. An equally questioning and critical examination of capitalism and its influence on political systems, which seemingly undermines societies without any alternative, is not left out.
Through the power of outstanding theatre, the audience experiences how the topic determines and influences our communal life, our role models, but also the most intimate and private moments.
