Tod durch ein Missgeschick

In the organizer's words:

The 12th grade of the Rudolf Steiner School Schwabing brings "Death by Misadventure" to the stage of Theater LEO17.

A funeral service that gets completely out of hand: With "Death by Misadventure" , the Year 12 pupils of the Rudolf Steiner School Schwabing bring a play to the stage that creates tension, makes you laugh and touches you in equal measure.

Inspired by the screenplay "Death at a Funeral " by Dean Craig, this play will be performed in a freely adapted version under the guidance of professional theater professionals.

The audience can expect a black comedy about a funeral service that takes an absurd and comical turn characterized by devastating mishaps and unfortunate coincidences.

The story takes place in a small town in Minnesota at the end of the 1970s. What was planned as a reverent funeral service for the deceased Sidney Lukas quickly develops into a chaos full of mishaps, smouldering conflicts and dark secrets. Between swapped coffins, accidental drug use and family disputes, events spiral increasingly out of control.

The production captivates with its unique blend of tragic-melancholic undertones, absurd-comic slapstick and unexpected drama. Accompanied by the gentle folk sounds of the 1970s and a modern sound design by young musician Moritz Törsiep, the play is atmospherically reminiscent of the dark pictures by Gregory Crewdson or the bizarre world of the Fargo series. The detailed costumes and stage sets are a particular highlight, perfectly capturing the spirit of the era.
