Berlin around 1930, the city vibrates, the lust for life knows no bounds, people dance until their soles smoke in the legendary clubs, permissiveness pulsates from climax to climax. This is also the case in the Kit Kat Club, where evening after evening, guests let the rousing music and the fantastic singer Sally Bowles drive away their everyday worries. American writer Cliff Bradshaw falls for her and, in his search for inspiration, is amazed to find a new meaning in life.

It is a dance on a powder keg. The horizon is already full of dark clouds, the joy of life is suffocating, the rise of National Socialism is destroying the hope of an entire generation. While Sally Bowles is still fervently singing "All life is a cabaret", fascism is spreading and destroying everything in its path.

"Cabaret" is the play of our time, the musical is celebrating triumphs all over the country, moving and disturbing audiences, who are repeatedly confronted with the enormous topicality of the material and the story.
