Geld ist Klasse – Marlene Engelhorn, Volker Lösch, Marlene Reiter, Lothar Kittstein

In the organizer's words:

After the acclaimed premiere at the FFT and successful guest performances in Stuttgart and Vienna, Geld ist Klasse returns to Düsseldorf. Theater maker Volker Lösch, millionaire heiress Marlene Engelhorn and actress Marlene Reiter tackle the subject of inequality from an unusual perspective: Together they perform a theatrical attack on excess wealth. It's about wealth and power, money and justice, the good life for all and how it can become reality. Together with the author Lothar Kittstein, Engelhorn, Reiter and Lösch have developed a play that deals with the origins of inequality and exposes the tricks that the wealthy use to disguise themselves and immunize themselves against criticism. It deals with the dangers to democracy and the potential for violence of unregulated wealth. In doing so, they find impressive images for an abstract problem that affects us all. Facts, fiction and personal stories show: There is another way. With Marlene Engelhorn, the first wealthy person on a theater stage to provide self-critical insights into the insular world of the super-rich, Geld ist Klasse shows that something has to change!
