Slippery Slope

“Slippery Slope” paints a highly entertaining panorama of the contemporary entertainment industry and its culture of debate: Who tells which story? Who is profiting from it? And who should keep their mouth shut?

With “Slippery Slope”, Nestroy Award winner Felix Hafner stages a pointed “fast musical” of quick-witted dialog and rousing songs. Graz-based musician Sandy Lopičić is the musical director and will be performing live on stage with his band.

The production mixes English songs and German spoken texts. All performances are accessible in both languages thanks to the alternating surtitles.

Duration: 2 hours 10 minutes, with break
