SHAME – The Musical

by Kirsten Fuchs and David Pagan

PREMIERE: 24.02.2024

JES goes musical – with everything that goes with it: soulful songs, a pop band, a large cast and an elaborate dance choreography.

We ask: how can we start a conversation about the social construct of shame? How does this feeling influence our personal development and the way we deal with our bodies and sexuality?

Five performers and a band meet on the big stage and tell, sing and perform a musical written exclusively for JES. And just like any real musical, it will be loud, colourful, emotional and embarrassing.

In cooperation with the Popakademie Mannheim, which has put together a pop band from its students, and the PH Ludwigsburg, whose students are developing the educational program.

Supported by Fonds Jupiter Fund of the German Federal Cultural Foundation
