SHAKESPEARE TO GO – Gesangstechnischer Hilfsdienst, der Chor für die Literaturparodie

In the organizer's words:

Shakespeare to go

For its 15th anniversary, the GTHD is celebrating more than ever the fusion of choral singing and literary parody into a unique genre. None other than Shakespeare is the inspiration for this year's anniversary program. The romantic-fantastic story deals with the school traumas of several generations in a ludicrous way.

The story

The hen party of a Scottish princess turns into a spiritualist event and leads to a prophecy: the newly betrothed is soon to be queen herself! That night, the king is found dead: Murder or not murder? - Our lady with the clean hands not only uses a ruse to put a neat log in the path of her exclusively male rivals in order to secure the throne for herself.

During these intriguing events, a misconstructed balcony extension also falls down, a Danish exchange student travels back home, guided only by the various regional types of rain, a messenger delivers a parcel and weight-throwing and log-throwing are practiced.

The choir illustrates the story with appropriate songs from five centuries. Enriched with current events, the evening becomes an odyssey along the lines of: You can't make this stuff up!

So that's the question for our esteemed audience:

In or out?
