An evening full of goosebumps, humor, and musical shadows

Monstrosities presents a musical stage experience on April 29, 2026, at Kultur im Alten Kino in Bamberg, shimmering between world literature, musical sound, and poetic darkness. Laura Mann and Patrick L. Schmitz guide through a production that condenses monstrous figures, fateful obsessions, and fairy-tale abysses with live music and choir into a multi-voiced theater evening. The audience experiences a theater atmosphere where humor and chills, sound and image, closeness and goosebumps intertwine closely.

World literature as a shimmering shadow stage

The production draws on characters and motifs that have belonged to the great myths of the stage and storytelling for generations: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the lonely Count, the bell ringer, Miss Lovett, the barber, the witch, the vampire, along with fairy-tale figures from Little Red Riding Hood and the fairy-tale forest. From this wealth of material arises not a museal recitation format, but a musical course through fear, desire, and transformation. This is where the dramatic tension lies: The piece plays with recognition and alienation at the same time.

Musical density and choreographic imagination

The collaboration with the rock and pop choir KlangArt lends the evening a rare choral energy. Live music, costumes, makeup, lighting design, and sound technology form a cohesive ensemble image that emphasizes precisely set effects over large efforts. The auditorium in the Alten Kino is known for its acoustics and retains the charm of a 1950s cinema; it is this atmosphere that favors an evening that works with sound colors, presence, and scenic intimacy.
