9 Volt Nelly
- Location:
- Renitenztheater, Büchsenstr. 26, 70174 Stuttgart
Two fearless ex-beauty queens from Texas leave their old, dreary lives behind with a bang. Now they want to make their dreams come true in magical "Krautland": to become famous singer-songwriters, keep the level up and find true love along the way. But the road trip to emancipation quickly teaches them that life is tough - and the urban lifestyle tougher. 9 Volt Nelly questions the pitfalls of modern role models and our pursuit of so-called freedom with relish, wickedness and plenty of ovary country.
As the "Whiskey Sisters", Whitcher and Mumford ball and ballad their way through the evening together with the audience. They are armed with guitar, hobbyhorse and an optimism that can drink even the most brutal reality under the table.
"With their delight in the unconventional and unabashed, Lea and Jane represent a new
generation of female comedians who cleverly question the world without shying away from taboos"
