Description
The revue plunges into Berlin's 1920s, where hyperinflation and political street battles fueled a cultural flowering of Dada, Bauhaus, jazz, and cabaret. Music by Paul Abraham, Hanns Eisler, and Mischa Spolianski accompanies texts by Erich Mühsam, Erwin Piscator, and Alfred Polgar, evoking the era's escape into film and operetta.
