O, the horror... Fear not, it is not about horror, it’s about having fun with Frankenstein!!
This family performance with music and dance is based on the original story, in which scientist Victor Frankenstein creates a monster. In this Frankenstein!! we meet all kinds of monsters, heroes, anti-heroes and fantasy figures. It’s a pandemonium of popular music styles, ranging from tango to Boogie Woogie. The funny children’s rhymes with their political undertone will entertain children and adults.
The social criticism in the lyrics is timeless. Artmann wrote the songs based on events in the sixties, but they too, are ageless. Singer/actor Boudewijn Ruigrok did a spicy Dutch translation of the texts, which makes Frankenstein!! sound alive and fresh. The performance lasts 40 minutes. There is no time for an intermission, because this show will take your breath away!
