“Sissi” is a piece about sky high expectations and profound disappointments. Loosely based on the biography of the famous Empress Elisabeth of Austria, it tells about ambitious mothers, ideal children, disputes and loyalty.
The story is accompanied by live music in the style of the 80s, inspired by Nina Hagen, Kraftwerk, Nena, and others. A turbulent play for the entire family.
