Chocolat

Ensemble SAGAS’s “

Chocolat” is an enchanting fairy tale for adults featuring rousing live music in the style of Django Reinhardt. It is based on the film “Chocolat,” winner of numerous international awards, starring an all-star cast including Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp. The story: A young, single mother opens a pâtisserie—a small temple to the finest chocolates—on the church square of a small village in southern France. For the village priest, this kind of “temptation” is absolutely unacceptable. He strictly forbids the members of his congregation from having any contact with the young woman—and becomes her greatest adversary. In an extremely amusing way, two worldviews that could not be more different clash: aversion to all that is foreign on the one hand, and openness and enjoyment on the other. This story is brought to life by a virtuoso quartet and the fascinating acting duo Ann-Kathrin Kramer and Harald Krassnitzer. For more than twenty years, she has been among the crème de la crème of German-speaking film actresses. For many years, he has embodied the wonderful Viennese “Tatort” detective. A fascinating blend of acting, reading, and concert.
