AN EVENING WITH JOHN WATERS
Live on stage!
John Waters' aktuelle Spoken-Word-Show trägt den Titel "End of the World". Dieser brandneue, rasante, komische Monolog über die Verzweiflung und die Krankheiten, die Sehnsüchte und die Enttäuschungen von heute kommt mit einem wahnsinnigen Optimismus daher, der alle Zuschauer:innen in einer neu heran dämmernden Verderbtheit willkommen heißt. Wie erfindet man das Filmgeschäft neu, wie umarmt man die Dummheit auf intellektuelle Weise, und wie überschreitet man sogar die Grenzen der sexuellen Transgression?
John Waters, der Mann, den William S. Burroughs den "Pope of Trash" und den die Presse "The People's Pervert" genannt hat, wird unser aller Wahnsinn in Hoffnung verwandeln und uns in ein freudiges Delirium für alle Zeiten führen...
