Cabaret

In the organizer's words:

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome! In bubbling Berlin around 1929, the whole world seems to be dancing on a volcano. The emcee of the Kit Kat Klub invites night owls to an evening of outrageous attractions. Among the guests is the American writer Cliff Bradshaw, who runs into show girl and bon vivant Sally Bowles. Together they move into a furnished room at Fräulein Schneider's. The microcosm of the boarding house also includes Fräulein Kost, who earns her living in the night-time trade, and the Jewish fruit merchant Schultz, who is hoping for a second spring with his landlady. As deprived as their everyday lives are, as intoxicating are their nights: Sally and Cliff let themselves drift in a whirlpool of pleasure. But behind the glittering curtains of the cabaret, a turning point is on the horizon. As hatred becomes socially acceptable in a society torn apart, it is suddenly uncertain: how free is it really possible to live and love here?

Cabaret is a masterpiece of musical history that has never been as close to the pulse of the times as it is now. With heated jazz rhythms, glamorous revue numbers and world-famous songs such as "Mein Herr" or "Maybe this Time", it opens up a panorama of the shattered late Weimar Republic that also seems to reflect today's attitude to life.
