WAS WÄRE WENN… (WHAT IF…)

We planned to premiere our musical – featuring 23 songs – in concert in September 2025.
Thanks to your support with our crowd-funding campaign, you helped us achieve our aim! Thank you very much!

The musical explores morally complex conflicts through a story of unity and division.

The story follows two siblings, Marcelo and Luisa, as they navigate life on their own after the death of their mother, Leopoldina. While Marcelo begins to find stability in a new family, Luisa must summon constant courage just to make it through each day.

Marcelo meets Sofia, who soon becomes a significant presence in his life. What begins as a friendship gradually blossoms into love. But just as everything seems to fall into place, a shadow from Luisa’s past re-emerges, sending shockwaves through all three of their lives – changing them forever.
