BERLIN: THE LAST CABARET
A new work devised by Alan Corbishley, Joanna Garfinkel, and Roger Parton
Running Time: 90:00. No intermission. Haze and lighting effects. There will be a talk-back immediately following the performances on January 23, 24 and 25, 2020.

Members of a cabaret troupe gather one last time to perform for their friends, some of whom have already gone missing. It is 1934 in Berlin. The Weimar Republic has collapsed, and the world is turning upside down.

This is the premise of Berlin: The Last Cabaret. Unlike anything we have done before, it speaks directly to our own times. Using music authentic to the period, it was presented in a cabaret setting at Performance Works on Granville Island from 23–26 January, 2020.

Berlin was produced in association with the PuSh International Festival, and Sound The Alarm: Music/Theatre.

Our objective was to offer music from the Weimar era, cross-connected in a new narrative. Weimar was a period of tremendous experiment and daring, risk and transgression, gender liberation, discovery and allure – especially in Berlin. We brought it to life again.
