The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant

The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant is the original stage version of Fassbinder's cult classic.

In the ‘Kitsch und Kunst’ boudoir/ateljé of successful fashionista Petra von Kant, only beauty is allowed. The countess’s relationships with her faithful and adoring maid Marlene, with her submissive bestie Sidonie, with her excitable daughter Gabi and with her distant mother Valerie are established, exploitative, and comfortable. But soft! What light from yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Karin is the disrupter! From love at first sight, though jealousy, conflict, music, and yes, floods of bitter tears, can the course of love run true? Can Petra can pull herself out of her spiral of alcoholism and despair, and reboot her relationships with the women in her life, or lose everything…?
