Kellerkabarett

100 years ago, Berlin was a cauldron of artistic exploration and expression. Artists were testing new forms and pushing the limits of social norms, responding to a wildly-changing world around them. A lot of that experimentation found its way to the tiny stages of hugely popular cabarets. These performances reflected a society convulsing in cultural upheaval, financial insecurity, technological whiplash, and rising political violence. The songs created for the stages of Berlin in the 1920s echo to us a century later as we struggle with our own social upheavals.

Join us in the Ratskeller of the Germanic-American Institute for an intimate review of classic Berliner Kabarett lieder as we renew their songs of love, protest, longing, warning, and hope. Sung in (mostly) German featuring the talents of: Bradley Greenwald, Anna Hashizume, Ryan Hill, Suzie Juul, Mistress Ginger, Jacqueline Ultan, Vic Volare, Melanie Wehrmacher, Steven Zubich.
