Berlin Premiere

Rebecca Carrington and Colin Brown have come up with a turbulent operetta that not only examines the hair-raising motives in the ancient Persian tale, but also takes a tongue-in-cheek look at current European politics.  Sometimes nothing happens for decades, and then an entire century passes in a week!

Florian Paul and ‘die Kapelle der letzten Hoffnung’ (The Choir of Last Resort) tell their stories in strong, vivid pictures that remain in the memory for some time.

The press and the public are of one mind: hardly any other artist comes as close to David Bowie as Sven Ratzke. Bowie personally gave Ratzke his permission to avail of his entire works. The resulting STARMAN tour was a great success.  Ratzke is now venturing once again into the universe of this musical legend – different, intimate, with only Ratzke’s voice and a virtuoso on the piano...

Premiere

She is groove and jazz and blues, she is humour and cabaret and comedy. She has been called a miracle voice or exceptional vocals, vocal acrobat or outstanding singer, her voice has been compared to Nina Hagen, Janis Joplin or Zarah Leander – all of this is true and still it is not enough to describe this wonder of nature. She dances, sings, screams and groans, she grunts, stomps and...

Is it chanson, comedy, cabaret, concert or a show? You could call it SalonHipHop and CabaretCool but they still don't quite capture the genre of the all-encompassing gifts and talents of the Thomas Pigor and Benedikt Eichhorn duo.

A night full of inspiration, new perspectives and the “obligatory” portion of naked skin: the first Boylesque Drag Festival Berlin.

May 18 to 19, 2020

Two pianists who could hardly be more different: Paul Cibis already had private piano lessons as a child. He wore spotless white gloves and regularly won the German music competition for youth “Jugend Musiziert”. And at the second of the two adjacent pianos: Andreas Kern, who taught himself piano in a bar. He also already played Chopin at 12, because the bar owner wanted him to. But at the...
