In Cheap Blood Johannes Müller and Philine Rinnnert have developed a new hybrid of artistic genres. Johann Sebastian Bach’s cantata Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut and the history of the biggest flop Broadway has ever seen – Carrie – The Musical – combine into an overdrive of teenage angst. First love, along with the experience that the sugar-coated image of your romantic self just doesn’t seem to fit into a brutal reality of school, facebook and youporn, culminate in a state of chaos and despair.
Singers, actors and musicians tread the experimental turf of Cheap Blood, which combines the exuberant and grotesque expressional needs of baroque and Broadway. Don’t be surprised if plots to destroy the entire planet with telekinetic powers are disguised as a divine visitation.
