Finally (after a long, long time) we put a video of our musical “Udo 77″ online. It deals with the life and times of infamous Viennese society freak, industrialist and criminal — Udo Proksch.

Proksch is a fascinating figure in recent Austrian history. Born to a poor family he rose to become the darling of Austrian high society before landing in jail on a life sentence for sinking a ship and its crew in order to cash in on insurance of nonexistent goods. His perfectly tuned network of sponsors, friends and political functionaries could not hush up the scandal and many of his associates joined him in his fall from grace.

The (clearly nerd-compatible) musical was a cooperation with the Viennese Rabenhof Theater.

Sorry, German only.

Wie ein Societythriller von John Grisham liest sich die Geschichte vom Aufstieg und Fall jenes Mannes, der auszog, um ein Schiff im Sumpf der österreichischen Politik zu versenken. Wenn es wahr ist… Aber was ist wahr? Bei Udo Proksch verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Legende, bei seiner Biografie endet die Geschichtsschreibung. Proksch ist Mythos.
