A truly unreal view through the gates of perception by Jakob Arnold // World premiere // Kleines Haus

Introduction 30 minutes before the start of each performance in the Kleines Haus.

Jim Morrison was angel and devil, priest and clown, erotic and fragile at the same time. "Love and Peace" was not his message, but Break on Through to The Other Side: a rebellion against everything conservative, against the typical American family, against widespread commercialization. The guiding principle of the self-proclaimed king of the lizards was: "Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin." And the ceremony had only one goal: to push open the "gates of perception". Radical and poetic, he rode the wave of the 1960s revolution and foresaw failure, his own and that of the West - "This is the end, my friend." To mark his 80th birthday, Light My Fire takes the audience on a psychedelic journey through the Californian desert - with a live band and the songs of the Doors.
