THE SHOW
|
Hans
Hölzel, dominated and influenced by Falco, the Golem he created, wants to
demolish Falco to regain his freedom as a creative person. He does it in
the public arena, in a stage show, because this is the only realm where
Falco, Hans‘ incarnation, exists. However, Falco, who has become Hans‘
raison d’être, fights back and refuses to die. The concept of the show tries to combine new elements of the theatre, the concert, laser shows, revue, clubbing and disco in a new way. Water screen and monitor projections become dramaturgical partners and are integrated in the action.

THE PLACE OF ACTIONThe show is intended for the Ronacher in Vienna. The stage of the Ronacher reminds of an arena where the audience is seated on both sides. The
stage is built in the form of an @ that extends into a catwalk to form a close
contact between the actors and their audience. The atmosphere is that of a rock
concert. Two
categories of tickets are available: more expensive ones for the boxes and the
balconies and cheaper tickets close to the rostrum where the show is performed.
Here the spectator is offered the possibility to move around during the show, to
dance and to take drinks at the bars installed below the catwalks. A catering
service offers drinks and a choice of snacks for the boxes. On
entering the feeling of a clubbing is created, as techno music is played by a DJ
in the main hall, where there are open bars that offer a choice of drinks .
Light effects and the sound system add up to a special atmosphere. The audience
is thus invited to dance and to drink. Members
of the Dance Company have already entered the catwalk. The screens show video
advertisements and names of sponsors. Announcements of other events in town are
made. The clubbing after the show goes on for the rest of the night.
