Dive into the captivating world of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, originally a stage play, emerged as a sci-fi, erotic fantasy masterpiece created by Richard O'Brien in the 1970s of London
This production went on a worldwide tour, eventually landing at the iconic Roxy Theater in Hollywood, California. The film adaptation, brought to life by the Roxy Theater's owner, Lou Adler, retained much of the original London cast, with the unforgettable Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-n-furter. The legacy of this remarkable play continues, but it's the Rocky Horror PICTURE Show, the film, that gained fame as "the king of Cult Movies."
Released in 1975, going head-to-head with Steven Spielberg's JAWS, the film initially struggled at the box office. However, something extraordinary happened that defied all expectations. The audience took control of the entertainment. Audiences began creating their own jokes in response to the film's shortcomings, creating a unique "dialogue" between live attendees and the movie.
People dressed up as their favorite characters, returning time and time again until they knew every line by heart. Eventually, fans started lip syncing and reenacting the film, elevating it to new heights of entertainment. The Rocky Horror Picture Show evolved from a flat screen into a live, immersive experience where Audience Participation truly came to life.
The deepest tribute to this spectacle comes from dedicated fans who have formed "Shadow Casts." These passionate groups strive to enhance the cinematic experience in every way possible. RHPS Berlin, founded in 2009 by American Rocky Horror Promoter Max Mayhem, embodies this spirit.
Our commitment is to deliver an authentic Rocky Horror Picture Show experience in Germany. Our cast comprises amateur talents. They create their costumes, apply their own makeup, and perform their own stunts.
At RHPS, we welcome everyone. No matter who you are, you'll find a home after midnight. We are dedicated to nurturing the artistic growth of Shadow Casting and bringing this unique art form to Germany. Join us in celebrating the timeless and outrageous phenomenon that is the Rocky Horror Picture Show — where the extraordinary becomes ordinary, and where ordinary is anything but!
