Blues Brothers - Based on the Cult Film by Dan Aykroyd and John Landis
Schlosstheater Celle, Germany
Black suits, sunglasses and one wild plan: Jake and Elwood Blues finally roll into Celle. They're carrying soul, rhythm and blues, and a breakneck mission to save the orphanage of their childhood. The iconic quest takes them straight from jail to the castle courtyard - onto the stage of the open-air summer theatre. And what could be more fitting? In Celle, the historic prison and the castle are easy to mix up - the town has a long history as a place of incarceration. Locations where escape and a fresh start feel right at home.
On the courtyard stage, the Blues Brothers set the air buzzing: a musical rollercoaster with eccentric characters winds through bars, churches and police stations - back to jail and deep into the heart of the music. Based on the legendary film by Dan Aykroyd and John Landis, we bring this mismatched duo to the baroque courtyard stage with a full ensemble, live music and hits like "Everybody Needs Somebody", "Soul Man" and "Gimme Some Lovin'". A summer evening that runs full throttle and takes you along for the ride. A show of rebellion, groove and guaranteed cult status: on a mission from God, under the open sky.
