The golden age of Berlin is fading; immerse yourself in the tales of Berliners who have sought refuge in the Kabarett. With darkness on the horizon, Berlinernacht follows the stories of those who have been used, cast aside and liberated. A decadent ballroom hosts this playful site-specific performance that takes a journey through backstage stories, forgotten music and silenced dreams.
Set in 1930s Berlin, this brand new show tells the stories of forgotten Berliners at a Kabarett club clinging onto their identities within growing social friction. Using original music – unearthed for the first time – from 1920s/30s Berlin (including “She’s Got a Big Nazi” and “Have You Kissed A Fish?”), the show takes place in an historic 1940s ballroom, currently under threat of closure, one of Brighton’s most classic venues.
