JOHN – The VPT interprets John Sinclair
›… dragging the left leg – Tour 2024/25‹
The evil can wrap up nice and warm! Because when the five exceptional mimes from Wuppertal conquer the republic's stages, energy and tears of laughter flow in torrents. All sons and daughters of light by nature, they turn even the darkest fantasies into bright, shining punchlines. No room for tribulation, no room for misery, no room for evil. Wherever the VPT appears, hope, enthusiasm and happiness shine. Guided by ghost-hunting coolness and a detective's sense of crazy humor, Das VPT goes to work and transforms every concert hall and every theater stage into a bubbling cauldron of happiness!
»The millennium was still young. Science and technology replaced belief in the supernatural. But evil existed. And it was smart! One was chosen to fight against the forces of darkness. Demons called him the Son of Light, his friends called him the Ghostbuster."
The VPT calls him: "JOHN."
50 years of John Sinclair
John Sinclair, senior inspector of a special division at Scotland Yard, is called upon to fight evil wherever he encounters it. He must not give up, otherwise hell would triumph.
The novels about the Son of Light have been published for 50 years now and inspire a loyal readership in well over 2,000 issues. No less successful is the radio play series about the ghost hunter, which consists of more than 160 episodes and comes with an incomparably action-packed production and sound that is absolutely suitable for the cinema - as if made for the audio collage innovators at VPT.
As early as the end of the noughties, when the VPT took on the stage adaptation of the Sinclair material, Jason Dark (prince of horror literature, inventor and, since 1973, author of the stories about the Son of Light) himself remarked: »Now I finally know what my John Sinclair looks like.«
For the VPT it is both an accolade and a challenge to open a new chapter in the VPT history and to dedicate the show to the ghost hunter, which he has created after 50 years of tireless fight against the Evil deserves it.
A hell of a lot of fun!
There's no question that the audience can expect great things. The VPT wouldn't be The VPT if it didn't tell John Sinclair's story in "its own words." And that always means a magnificent mix of homage and satire.
The legend of the ghost hunter is brought to the stage in a way that it has never been told before: Only the VPT has the ability to mix narrative strands, characters and show elements in such a way that completely new stories, original associations and... unexpected images emerge. Nothing is impossible in the great cosmos of full playback theater!
The creatures of hell on a comedy stage? No problem. Magic items and countercurses? Naturally. The detective help of colleagues from other radio series, films or television shows? Of course. Because whoever visits the VPT gets more. More sophisticated costumes. More loving stage backdrops. More flashy props. More goosebumps. More comedy. More show. More fun.
