WHAT’S THE SHOW ALL ABOUT?
What would it be like to wake up in a world of happiness? When Luci opens her eyes, she is surrounded by her most beautiful unlived dreams. The magnificence of this dream world is simply breathtaking; her old life is nothing but a distant echo. Every breath Luci takes is like a brush stroke and every space that opens up is a symphony of unimagined possibilities. And before her stands the man of her dreams.
A new beginning, her imagination whispers. Dreams can be dashed, reminds reason. Her dream man senses that Luci, blinded by so much happiness, may not trust him. But he knows they will only have a chance if they allow their two worlds to merge. He fights with all he has for the love of his life. Luci faces the fundamental question that we must all ask ourselves at some point: Should we remain realistic or do we have the courage to live our dreams?
BLINDED by DELIGHT is a reminder of happiness that overwhelms all the senses. And who knows, maybe at the beginning of every change there is a dream that wants to be held on to and not to slip away.
About the show title
The word BLINDED describes how Luci is entirely overwhelmed by her emotions. DELIGHT refers to the intoxicating, almost ecstatic feelings that she experiences. Luci is so caught up in the happiness of her dreams and her romantic feelings that she wonders whether it can all be real or will vanish in the next blink of an eye.
Is it all lies or love? BLINDED by DELIGHT expresses this emotional dichotomy. A passionate dance of powerful emotions.
Program and cast
Friedrichstadt Palace Berlin
For a hundred years now, the theater has been known as Berlin’s number one address for big show entertainment. Max Reinhardt performed in the arena of what was then the Circus Schumann for the first time back in 1910. At the time, it was still housed in the building at Am Zirkus 1 on Schiffbauerdamm, which was originally intended as a market hall. When Reinhardt established the precursor to the Palast known as the Großes Schauspielhaus on this site in 1919, he commissioned the modernist architect Hans Poelzig to design a magnificent theater.
From 1924, the newly-appointed artistic director, Erik Charell, created the revues that characterise the reputation and aesthetics of the “Golden Twenties” in Berlin to this day. In 1980, the old Palast had to be closed due to major subsidence and structural damage to the building. On 27 April 1984, the new Palast opened at Friedrichstraße 107 as the last major grand construction project of the German Democratic Republic (GDR).
At Friedrichstraße 107, the glamourous revue tradition lives on. The biggest names in show business have graced the stage at this legendary theater. To name just a few: Shirley Bassey, Joe Cocker, Phil Collins, Udo Jürgens, Hildegard Knef and Liza Minnelli.
