Dean Reed, born in Denver, Colorado, wanted to be the voice of the oppressed. A star in Latin America, he came to the GDR via Spain, Italy and the USSR, where he taught socialism the hip-swing in the 70s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;Red Elvis&#8221; experienced an unprecedented career behind the Iron Curtain, he was THE American of the Eastern Bloc. But with Glasnost and Perestroika his star began to sink and also in his home country he was mocked at a comeback attempt. In 1986 the musician finally took his own life under circumstances that remain mysterious to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many musicians and stars, Dean Reed&#8217;s real home was the big stage. In the Neuk\u00f6llner Opera House Dean is brought home on stage. In a fantastic journey of the dead the singer faces the stations of his life and meets companions and enemies. We follow the path of the man who set out in Denver, Colorado to rock the Eastern Bloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Nobody knows me back in my hometown,&#8221; he sang just before he died. Now he gets his own Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.neukoellneroper.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/no_ph_iron_web.pdf\">Programme Booklet<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>DIRECTION<\/strong><br>Fabian Gerhardt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>MUSICAL DIRECTION<\/strong><br>Christopher Verworner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>CHOREOGRAPHY<\/strong><br>Lilit Hakobyan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>STAGE DESIGN<\/strong><br>Michael Graessner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>COSTUME DESIGN<\/strong><br>Sophie Peters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>VIDEOS<\/strong><br>Vincent Stefan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>DRAMATURGY<\/strong><br>\u00c4nne-Marthe K\u00fchn<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>WITH<\/strong><br>Sophia Euskirchen, Franziska Junge, Claudia Renner, Jan-Philipp Rekeszus, Luca Schaub, Meik van Severen and members of the VKKO (Verworner-Krause-Kammerorchester)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"slider\" class=\"wp-block-acv-slider\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"data-id=\"13436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neukoellneroper.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/iron_curtain_manttk_9486-1100x733.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\"\/><figcaption class=\"slide-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"data-id=\"11013\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neukoellneroper.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF3805-1100x1650.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1650\"\/><figcaption class=\"slide-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"data-id=\"11012\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neukoellneroper.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF3768-1100x733.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\"\/><figcaption class=\"slide-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"data-id=\"11014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neukoellneroper.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF3847-1100x733.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\"\/><figcaption class=\"slide-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"data-id=\"13429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neukoellneroper.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/iron_curtain_manttk_0722-1100x1650.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1650\"\/><figcaption class=\"slide-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"data-id=\"13431\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neukoellneroper.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/iron_curtain_manttk_0798-1100x733.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\"\/><figcaption class=\"slide-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"data-id=\"13433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neukoellneroper.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/iron_curtain_manttk_0988-1100x733.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\"\/><figcaption class=\"slide-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"data-id=\"13437\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neukoellneroper.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/iron_curtain_manttk_9563-1100x733.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\"\/><figcaption class=\"slide-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"data-id=\"13438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neukoellneroper.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/iron_curtain_manttk_9649-1100x733.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\"\/><figcaption class=\"slide-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"data-id=\"13440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neukoellneroper.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/iron_curtain_manttk_9674-1100x733.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\"\/><figcaption class=\"slide-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Photos: \u00a9 MIZAFO, \u00a9 Thomas Koy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-00-aa-4-f-background-color has-background\"><strong>Readaption from 18 August 2022.
