Die Blues Brothers - A Road Trip through the Land

Description

1979. Brothers Hans and Elmar Eisele – aka "Jake and Elwood Blues" – have risen from the boys' choir of the Catholic children's home to become celebrities of the Swabian blues scene. Nevertheless, they are constantly broke and quickly get involved in petty criminal activities. Hans ends up in prison, and is now picked up by Elmar after his release. Their first stop is the orphanage of their childhood. There, the Mother Superior has a problem: if she doesn't raise 5,000 marks quickly, the home will have to close due to unpaid tax debts. The brothers want to help – but how can they earn so much money honestly? During a church service, Hans has an epiphany: they just need to reunite their old band, the "Blues Brothers," for a benefit concert. And so, equipped with a rickety moped, they embark on a legendary musical road trip through the Baden-Württemberg province: pursued by Hans' vengeful former lover, they not only clash with a country band but at the end, with all law enforcement, causing chaos wherever they go. "We are on a mission from the Lord." With this line, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as Elwood and Jake Blues entered film history in 1980. Accompanying the chaotic but lovable rascals in their mission, dressed in suits and sunglasses, is just a lot of fun. The "Blues Brothers" are cult, not least because of their spectacular musical numbers like "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love," "Think," or "Shake a Tail Feather." At the WLB, you can look forward to an equally lively and energetic stage version with Swabian local color and a live band. Photo © Patrick Pfeiffer Additional information:
