Beltracchi – UNADULTERATED

How Helene and Wolfgang Beltracchi fooled the art world – a criminally beautiful love story with Mona Petri and Stefan Gubser .

BüHNE | READING

The ingenious artist and forger couple not only successfully deceived the entire art world for years and cheated them out of millions, but also grew even closer together in their love after this feat was exposed and the subsequent years of imprisonment. The two are extraordinary in every way – from the 'genetic defect' that enables Wolfgang Beltracchi to immerse himself in the time and manner of any artist, to their first encounter, their mutual unconditional commitment, the deceiving and exposing of a smug art market, their dramatic arrest and subsequent imprisonment, to their re-immersion in the art world as artists under their own name.

.

An exciting evening with stories from their lives and letters that the Beltracchis wrote to each other during their imprisonment – a stone's throw away from each other, but without seeing each other.

.

The captivating and amusing stage program with Stefan Gubser and Mona Petri documents the insane life and criminally beautiful love story of the world-famous Beltracchi couple. The word spectacle is accompanied by photos and pictures of the Beltracchis. Forged paintings by Wolfgang Beltracchi still hang in international art museums today.
