Around the World in 80 Days

Description

Spectacle play by Soeren Voima based on the novel by Jules Verne London, 1872: The eccentric Lady Phileas Fogg makes a daring bet in her exclusive club: she wants to circumnavigate the world in just 80 days. Accompanied by her loyal and equally clever servant Passepartout. What follows is a fast-paced journey against time – full of wonders, dangers, and surprising encounters, always overshadowed by Inspector Fix, who relentlessly pursues the unlikely duo and does everything to make the daring enterprise fail. On steaming ships and rattling trains, high on elephants and across the endless expanses of the oceans, this breathless race unfolds. Through pulsating metro stations and distant cultures, across continents and seas, an adventure of dazzling diversity and breathtaking dynamics unfolds. In this circus-like theatrical spectacle full of poetry, humor, and fantasy, Jules Verne's story becomes a parable about the feverish pursuit of success, the joy of progress, and the question of what truly drives us in an increasingly faster world. With playful ease, wit, and sophistication, the classic from 1873 surprisingly touches on timeless themes of our modern existence. Celebrating Jules Verne's world-famous novel, the ensemble Persona hosts a circus-like theatrical festival and takes the audience on an entertaining and fantastic adventure journey – a visual, musical, and emotional experience for the senses. "The Munich ensemble Persona [performs] energetically with the magic of the circus [and] draws (...) the potential for wonder in theater admirably confidently." Abendzeitung Munich With Anja Neukamm, Yannick Zürcher, Marcus Widmann, Julia Gröbel, among others.
