Vaginal Davis presents Rising Stars, Falling Stars

Silent movie expert Vaginal Davis presents F.W. Murnau's TARTÜFF (Tartuffe, D 1925): With an eye on his money, a housekeeper devotedly cares for her ill employer and sees to it that his grandson is disinherited. As a counter-move, he — disguised as the projectionist of a traveling movie theater — screens a film that in the form of a parable uncovers the intrigue. It's the story of Tartüff, who wants to do his friend out of his money and is revealed by a trick. The musicians John and Tim Blue accompany the adaptation of Molière’s comedy live. And the moral of the story: Afterwards Miss Davis invites the audience to drinks in the Rote Foyer. (July 25)
