Marlene Engelhorn/ Lothar Kittstein/ Volker Lösch/ Marlene Reiter // GELD IST KLASSE - UNGLEICHHEIT UND ÜBERREICHTUM - THEATERSTÜCK

Wealth kills democracy. Wealth destroys social justice. Wealth is highly concentrated, uncontrolled power. And it is growing rapidly worldwide. High time for a theatrical attack on excess wealth! This is the mission of GELD IST KLASSE: the millionaire heiress Marlene Engelhorn, the theatre-maker Volker Lösch, the actress Marlene Reiter and the author Lothar Kittstein show how high wealth turns into undemocratic power, how money and (in)justice are connected, how excess wealth camouflages itself to the outside world and immunizes itself against criticism. They ask how to put a stop to it in order to save democracy and make a good life possible for everyone. They combine documentary material with personal stories and grotesque play scenes to create a hybrid whole that is intended to do one thing above all: A desire for change.
