Meeting Myself.

The Follies ensemble reminisces about their theatrical past, first stage experiences, and sends greetings to their younger selves!

In Stephen Sondheim’s musical Follies, a famous revue theater is about to close. On this occasion, the former stars of the stage reunite for one final celebration—thirty years after their greatest triumphs. Among the guests are also the younger versions of these revue stars— creating a poignant encounter with their own past!

We have embraced this idea from the musical and invited the stars of our Volksoper’s new production to reconnect with their own past.

In our videos, the performers of the main characters meet the actors playing their younger selves. Together, they reflect on their theatrical journey, recalling their first stage moments and formative experiences through personal photographs—while also sharing advice and insights with their younger selves.

Encounters that are as humorous as they are touching—just like Stephen Sondheim’s Follies!

English subtitles available for the Videos!

The series is now being expanded with another video featuring Ruth Brauer-Kvam and Juliette Khalil!
