SPATZ UND ENGEL - DIE GESCHICHTE DER FREUNDSCHAFT ZWISCHEN EDITH PIAF UND MARLENE DIETRICH

In the organizer's words:

A play with music

One comes from a Prussian officer's family, the other is the child of a circus acrobat and a street singer. One grows up in a boarding school in Weimar, the other in a brothel in Normandy.

One changes her men like her wardrobe, the other always dreams of the great love. One dies at 91, the biggest star Germany has ever produced. The other turns 47, and when she dies, France falls into national mourning, 40,000 people follow her coffin.

Edith Piaf, the "Sparrow of Paris," and Marlene Dietrich, the "Blue Angel," met in New York in 1948. From then on, the two divas shared an intense friendship that went largely unnoticed by the public. From their first meeting to Piaf's premature death and Marlene's retreat to her Paris apartment, SPATZ UND ENGEL connects the story of these two world stars with their unforgettable chansons, including: "La vie en rose," "Don't ask me why I'm leaving," "Milord," "Tell me where the flowers are," or "Non, je ne regrette rien."
