INDIA - A Treasure Hunt Through the German Countryside

by Josef Hader and Alfred Dorfer

"India" is one of Austria's most successful films and enjoys cult status with our neighbors. The NEW GLOBE THEATER, presenting a contemporary piece for the first time, has enriched the Austrian comedy with a singer in the style of Kurt Krömer and transplanted it to beautiful Brandenburg. Kurt Fellner, a field officer for the tourism bureau, sets out with his colleague, restaurant inspector Heinz Bösel, on a business trip to the supposed service desert of Brandenburg: one tests the beds, the other the schnitzel. And during this grueling tour, they discover what true male friendship is all about: drinking, arguing, making up. The journey through Brandenburg's countryside becomes a voyage of self-discovery.

India is the successfully adapted tragicomedy by Josef Hader, one of Austria's most renowned and popular actors and cabaret performers, and his colleague Alfred Dorfer. A piece for two seasoned comedians, somewhere between Gerhard Polt and Loriot. In the NEW GLOBE THEATER's version, the whole is complemented by live-sung hits from the highs and lows of German entertainment culture and transplanted to beautiful Brandenburg, which here represents the distinctive charm of the German provinces.
