"Marlene Dietrich" evening

She was the embodiment of a diva and the greatest German world star of all time. This musical tribute to Marlene Dietrich offers insights into the artistic and private life of this legendary film and style icon. She was a diva with a disinfectant stick, a perfectionist with alcohol problems, she was an over-mother with difficulties in coordinating her lovers. She saw herself as a product and was a serf of her own creation.

Reiko Pieper creates an evening with her unforgettable songs and tells the story of Dietrich's eventful life. He tells the story of how Marlene went from being an insignificant silent film starlet to a major Hollywood diva and, as a staunch opponent of the Nazis during the Second World War, became involved with the US troops sent to the front to liberate Europe.
