On 27th August 2008, an artistic collaboration, never been there before, will premier at the arena Wildbrunn adjacent to Vienna. The ancient comedy “Die Weiber in der Volksversammlung” of Greek poet Aristophanes will be musically supported by the gothic metal band ÜEBERMUTTER with Lucy van Ork. In this theatre play of the Austrian special edition, ÜEBERMUTTER will take on the part of the choir, which commented the events on the theatre stage in the ancient times. “The first comedy in Greek-gothic style”, says CEO Michael Karden and refers to the undaunted actuality of the 3000 years old story, “which could only be melodised with music from the 21st century.” Director of this culture experiment is Michael Thalmann.Lucy van Org is looking forward to the task, to accompany a Greek comedy with music. “This finally is a bloodless clash of cultures. We’ll perform our songs with unrelenting harshness. There’ll be no rest for the culture audience in Wildbrunn. If we’re too loud, you’re too weak.”
The band ÜEBERMUTTER will perform 6 songs out of their current album ‘Unheil!’ during the staging, amongst others the single ‘Wein mir ein Meer’. Tickets, snippets of the music and more info are available at: http://www.weiberaufstand.at/ / http://www.myspace.com/üebermutter
