CARMEN - An Opera Night at the Museum

The Visit

A production by Theater Uhu and the Bühne in der Brotfabrik Bonn. After Dr. Gotard. Direction: Volker Maria Engel. Dramaturgy & Design: Sandra Van Slooten. Assistant Director: Julia Knorst.

Gran Paradiso

Six people take refuge in an air-raid shelter at night. An enemy soldier joins the motley group. The group must ask itself: what do we do with the enemy? Let him go, tie him up, or kill him? What is that out there? Bombs, rockets, drones? What is that in here? Faith, love, hope, or sheer madness? To keep from losing their minds, they begin to tell stories and sing, like canaries in a coal mine. As long as the birds sing, the people are not yet dead. But whoever receives a visit from a dead woman and an angel, are they still alive?
