TRINKERPARK

On the road with glanz&krawall

Premiere

A co-production of Kleist Forum Frankfurt (Oder), MUSIKTHEATERTAGE WIEN and Schaubühne Lindenfels Leipzig.

René Rausch's Family, a wrecked troupe with deep ties to rock'n'roll, circus life and quackery, stops off at alcohol hotspots with two junky vans: RAUSCH FOR LIFE is the name of their Traveling Medicine Show, which always oscillates between transfiguration and deterrence of the liquid drug. Mistaken for representatives of a performance group that lives abstinently, they got René Rausch's Family the assignment to develop an addiction prevention show. They did not object. Now they have the salad. Alcohol prevention with a beer in your hand - is that possible?

With their own numbers, singalongs and a synthesis of pop, electro and classical singing, the result is an evening in the spirit of street music, embodied by three generations of performers. In the balancing act between self-destruction and norm fulfilment, this road show tries to get a big sip closer to the world formula and one's own emptiness within. 

With TRINKERPARK develops the music theatre combo glanz&krawall a world premiere that celebrates the improvised, the fast, the fleeting, the rock'n'roll in musical theatre. After all, the world of musicians, jugglers, theatre people (in short: the travelling folk) is a biotope for intoxication, excess and crash. Here we can study the special status of ethanol, which also applies to other areas of society: Those who drink (in moderation) are considered normal. But who actually benefits from our socially tolerated addiction and how could we use the drug without completely perishing from it?
