Neu auf unserer Bühne: Lee und Michelle - Deutsche Oper Berlin
New on our stage: Lee and Michelle
In ‘Wir müssen weiter!’ (We have to keep going!), Lee and Michelle are appearing on stage for the first time. In a play that they even wrote themselves.
We have car trouble in the middle of the desert and can't go any further. So we decide to build a city! That's the idea behind the play ‘Wir müssen weiter!’ (We have to keep going!). We've been rehearsing since January, and most of us have never acted before. It's cool that we can bring our own ideas to life. First, we thought about what a good city needs: low taxes, lots of space for fast cars, equality – and, of course, a place to sleep. That's how we came up with the idea of setting our play in a hotel. It's turned into a real luxury hotel, with a pool, gym, casino and Michelin-starred restaurant – everything you could want. An entertainer sings and dances for the guests. And the mayor, who is actually a kind of influencer, promotes our city. We also write songs, for example about good politics for the people. Those who have learned an instrument play live, bass, piano, ukulele. The best thing about rehearsals is that we can be creative and dare to do anything – no one laughs or makes stupid comments. We stick together as a group.
