Ciao, Bella, Ciao!

In the organizer's words:

"[...] is a refreshing, entertaining play that invites you to reflect, but also to celebrate."

"In any case, [the audience] were well entertained and left the Theater am Schwanhof with plenty of catchy tunes in their heads - and with the knowledge of what is worse than heartache: currywurst without curry."

(Tobias Kunz, Oberhessische Presse)

What is one of the most common themes in songs? Love! Whether it's songs that dream of love, or love that is happening, or love that makes you happy, or love that has been lost, or love that is complex - the idea of love moves us: the power of love is there!

But the idea of resistance also manifests itself in music, both in compositions and in song lyrics. Many people have resisted oppression with the help of music. Music has given them strength and hope. Even some musical genres have emerged from the need to change the society around them: the power of resistance is there too!

That's what this musical evening CIAO, BELLA, CIAO is about - it's about LOVE & RESISTANCE! Entertaining and moving songs will enter into a dialog with various texts, poems, manifestos and thoughts. The actors will take you on a musical journey through various decades. This evening is an invitation to see, hear and feel the power of love and resistance. It is an invitation to meet and experience the power of music together. CIAO, BELLA, CIAO!

For all people aged 13 and over who love music and are curious to discover the secret of love and the power of resistance.
