Cabaret

In the organizer's words:

It is a great love story that composer John Kander tells in "Cabaret": Nightclub singer Sally Bowles and writer Clifford Bradshaw meet on New Year's Eve 1929 in Berlin. For a while, the newlyweds' happiness seems perfect - despite their different ideas about the future and their precarious circumstances. Sally lives for the day and sings at night in the famous "Kit Kat Klub". Jealous Cliff can't cope with this. He is working on his second novel, but is in a creative crisis. In addition, the mood of the "Golden Twenties" in the permissive metropolis of Berlin is increasingly changing. Fascism and anti-Semitism are poisoning society. Even the apolitical landlady Fräulein Schneider can no longer close her eyes to the rise of National Socialism.

Theater director Malte C. Lachmann stages the downfall of the Weimar Republic and finds frightening parallels in the present day. John Kander's legendary music is inspired by ragtime and jazz and includes well-known hits such as "Maybe This Time" and "Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome".
