Andreana Clemenz: artistic direction, direction, dialogue book
Sold Out Awards for Yakari! The rousing musical was convincingly staged by director Andreana Clemenz and captivated young and old alike in over 130 performances.
Background:
For the creative implementation of the stage production, the production company Dreamcatcher Live Entertainment relies on the successful creative team around Andreana Clemenz (director) and Alex Burgos (choreography). "Yakari - Friends for Life" has received several Sold Out Awards (LANXESS arena Cologne and O2 World Hamburg). The family musical has everything a musical needs: stirring songs, a story full of suspense, humor and fantasy. And a message to think about. The 12-strong ensemble inspires the audience with wonderful voices, unique costumes as well as funny acting scenes and energetic dances. The colorful stage sets and projections and the moving songs make the musical a fantastic experience for the whole family. In 2013 and 2014 the musical was performed 74 times in Germany and Switzerland as well as on the open-air stage in Elspe. A tour through 30 cities with a total of 58 shows follows in 2015.

"Yakari is a family musical that captivates young and old alike."
Upper Bavarian Volksblatt
"The viewers felt like they were transported to the vastness of the prairie, the underwater world and mysterious cave landscapes, seemed to feel the embers of a forest fire or the rippling rain."
Upper Bavarian Volksblatt
"You can see the effort that goes into it. You can only put together a musical like this if you can put yourself in the children’s shoes.”
