Hair (musical) by MacDermot, G., za. 01 jul 2023, Van (2023/2023), Geregisseerd door Maximilian von Mayenburg,, Dirigent Achim Schneider, Staatstheater, Saarbrücken, Duitsland

With its world premiere in 1967, »Hair« really shook up theater life on Broadway and is more topical than ever today: Peace! Love! Freedom! The author trio Rado, Ragni and MacDermot broke with the viewing habits of the audience, this love rock musical wanted to shock and shocked and was one of the biggest Broadway successes. »Hair« made its mark on pop culture. The language was coarse and some of the actors stood stark naked on the stage. It was about free love, drug use and conscientious objection. But the anarchist musical shocker was more than just protest and praise for the alternative life and therefore cannot be killed. A story about people speaking out and fighting for peace and tolerance seems as relevant today as it was in the late 1960s. In rapidly changing episodic scenes - one can hardly speak of a plot - this colorful revue celebrates its protest against the establishment, and the long hair of the hippies, or »freaks«, as they call themselves, are the sign of their demarcation.
