Robert Nippoldt und das Green Light Ensemble mit "Der Große Gatsby" (musikalische Lesung mit Live-Zeichnungen)

In the organizer's words:

In the style of Art Deco, book artist Robert Nippoldt has now created a magnificently illustrated new edition of this classic novel - and brings it to the stage with his program "The Great Gatsby - A Musical Reading with Live Drawings"!

In a mixture of live drawing art, reading and music, the illustrator and his ensemble - dressed stylishly and glamorously - whisk us away to the legendary love story from 1925:
While actor Ari Nadkarni expressively and entertainingly reads selected passages from the novel, scenes and faces gradually emerge live through Nippoldt's hand from lines, brushstrokes and dots - made visible by camera and large projection.
Singer Lotta Stein and pianist Philip Ritter play the songs of the "Golden Twenties" and make the journey through time perfect: jazz, Charleston steps, golden glitter.

An entertaining evening that revives the glamor and decadence, but also the longing and tragedy of probably the most famous novel of the 1920s.
