MONEY IS CLASS – a Play about Inequality and Extreme Wealth by and with Marlene Engelhorn

Extreme wealth kills democracy. Extreme wealth destroys social justice. It destroys all human foundations of life. Because extreme wealth is highly concentrated, uncontrolled power. And it is growing rapidly worldwide. It’s high time for a theatrical attack on extreme wealth! Complaining about poverty, exploitation and social discrimination is no longer enough. We need to talk about wealth, we need to talk about money, we finally need to talk about the super-rich.
Millionaire heiress Marlene Engelhorn, theater maker Volker Lösch, actress Marlene Reiter and author Lothar Kittstein show how extreme wealth turns into undemocratic power, how money and (in)justice are related, how extreme wealth disguises itself to the outside world and immunizes itself against criticism – and they ask how to stop it in order to save democracy and make a good life possible for everyone. In doing so, they combine documentary elements with personal stories and grotesque scenes to create a hybrid whole that above all aims to do one thing: create a desire for change (https://geldistklasse.com)
