Kami Wilhelmina Manns directs a heartfelt portrait of people giving their all in the search for love—sometimes awkwardly, sometimes narrowly avoiding stumbling blocks, but never losing hope.
What unfolds is a celebration filled with mishaps, misfortunes, and moments of laughter—both quiet and loud—yet always driven by an indomitable force: the perseverance of those in pursuit of happiness. And now and then, in the most unexpected places, love flickers to life—imperfect, fragile, yet full of warmth.
There is feasting and dancing, laughter and love, all brought to life in an immersive experience on stage. We invite you to step into the heart of the story of Bert Brecht as a wedding guest, in this affectionate, eccentric, and at times heartbreakingly funny portrayal of people who devote themselves, against all odds, to love. A true feast for the senses!
