Leipzig-premiere 10.9.
by Matthew Lopez
Translated from the American English by Hannes Becker
Directed by Enrico Lübbe
Premiere on Oct. 3 / 3:00 p.m. / Große Bühne
📌 Open rehearsal on Sept. 8 / 7:00 p.m. / Große Bühne (free admission)
Two couples are at the center of the episodes: Walter and Henry, and Eric and Toby. Through scenes and monologues, flashbacks and dream sequences, we follow them and their friends over the course of years and decades—their hopes, longings, and fears. Not only do different generations come together, but the past and present, memory and reality also intersect in this sweeping social panorama. “The Legacy” offers an atmospheric and moving perspective that extends far beyond the time period it depicts.

"Pizza or A Door In The Dark Does Not Dance or The Meaning of Life" is a chamber opera, modest in physical scale but uncompromisingly epic and larger than life in its thematic scope and ambitions, featuring unique vocal performances and masterful feats of dance. Plus: pizza for everyone! On top of that, the delivery person offers helpful tips to prepare the audience for when, in addition to life's big questions, a portal to another world appears.
