Come and be a guest at Alma Mahlers
exclusive birthday party! Make the acquaintance of all her
lovers and husbands as they appear as guests of honour: the
great painter Gustav Klimt, who was the first man to kiss
her, architect Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus, poet
Franz Werfel, author of Jakobowsky and the Colonel,
composer Gustav Mahler, psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, and many
others, including Hollywood celebrities of the 40s.
At the climax of the party, the story splits up into several
different threads of events. And now its up to the audience
to follow one of the characters, embarking an exciting journey
through Almas life, which is enacted on all the levels
of the building. The audience can and should act as the eye
of their own camera, make their choice between scenes and
actors, and in fact can create their own play.
