social criticism and glamor

The stage design, created by Judith Leberauf and Karl Fehringer, captures the essence of the sixties using lively colors and glamorous costumes.

The occupation list is peppered with talents of the Vienna Theater. In addition to Maria Köstlinger, Martina Stilp, Paula Nocker and Julian Valerio Rehrl can be seen.
