The New City - Kellyanne Conway | The Musical

‘Kellyanne Conway – The Musical’ is a musical satire about alternative facts, framing, and the art of twisting. The performance zooms in on spin doctors: people who try to make the unsellable sellable anyway. But how do you navigate in a world where reality is sometimes more grotesque than satire? You make a musical out of it. Based on Kellyanne Conway, the woman who put alternative facts on the map, the performance explores a political logic in which facts hardly weigh anymore and emotion determines the narrative. Not a classic portrait of power, but a dissection of the strategy behind it. Sara Vertongen, Rashif El Kaoui, and Aline Goffin bring a mix of satire, music, and sharp analysis, armed with humor, a disco ball, and what they call radical softness themselves. The result is simultaneously a masterclass in political manipulation and an optimistic anti-bullshit campaign. text: Sara Vertongen, Rashif El Kaoui creation, acting: Sara Vertongen, Rashif El Kaoui, Aline Goffin music: Bert Hornikx, Aline Goffin dramaturgy: Els Theunis assistant dramaturgy: Rune Wittouck form: De Ruimtevaarders / Christophe Engels choreography: Natascha Pire production management: Sabien Van Herzele, Ellen Haesevoets with the support of: the Tax Shelter of the Belgische Federale Overheid
