Cabaret Kander

Berlin 1929. The ideas about The New World are growing stronger. But at the Kit Kat Klub, everyone is still welcome. Sally Bowles is the star of the club and together with the emcee she tries to keep the dream of freedom alive. Then she meets Clifford Bradshaw, an American writer who has come to Berlin in search of himself. In a Germany where the Nazis are marching ever louder, this love story unfolds in the shadow of an approaching world war.

“Cabaret” is one of Broadway’s legendary masterpieces, a musical with a serious underlying theme, depicting the impact on the lives of ordinary people caught up in the increasing decadence of Germany in the 1930s. The musical caused a sensation when it made its 1966 Broadway debut, and the season ran for nearly 2000 performances. The wild freedom and abandon of the time establishes an environment of spiritual, artistic and sexual freedom that was soon to be destroyed by the Nazi regime.

AnnaKarin Hirdwall: “Have you ever let your wants and dreams pass you by out of fear of the consequences of pursuing them? In this piece I want to tell you about how people get affected by fear and how we become who we are. Do we live our lives imprisoned or free in truth? Can we enable personal and societal change in the future or do we hold back and cling to the old world in fear of renewal? I want to welcome the audience into a world populated by characters who believe, wish, love, dare, dream and hope – despite forces that want to limit, control, straighten and intimidate into fear and silence”.

Berliin 1929. Ideed Uuest Maailmakorrast levivad järjest jõulisemalt, kuid Kit Kat Klubis on kõik endiselt teretulnud. Sally Bowles on klubi staar ja koos klubi konferansjeega püüab ta hoida elus unistust vabadusest. Klubis kohtub ta noore Ameerika kirjaniku Clifford Bradshaw’ga, kes on tulnud Berliini ennast leidma. Saksamaal, kus natside marsisammud järjest ähvardavamalt kõlavad, areneb nende armastuslugu läheneva maailmasõja varjus.

„Kabaree“ on legendaarne Broadway meistriteos – muusikal, mille tõsine alatoon toob rambivalgusesse 1930. aastate dekadentliku Saksamaa mõjuvallas olevate tavaliste inimeste elud. Muusikali esietendus Broadwayl 1966. aastal oli sensatsioon ja esimesel hooajal anti pea 2000 etendust. See on pildike ajastu metsikust vabadusest ja üksindusest, mis aitasid luua keskkonna vaimsele, kunstilisele ja seksuaalsele vabadusele, mille saatuseks oli natsirežiimi all kuhtuda.

AnnaKarin Hirdwall: „Kas te olete kunagi oma soovidest ja unistustest loobunud, sest kardate tagajärgi, mis nende poole püüdlemine kaasa võiks tuua? Selles lavastuses tahan teile rääkida sellest, kuidas inimesi mõjutab hirm ning kuidas kujuneme sellisteks nagu oleme. Kas elame oma elu kammitsetult või tõevabaduses? Kas suudame tulevikus teha isiklikke ja sotsiaalseid muutusi või hoiame end tagasi ja klammerdume muutuste kartuses vana maailma külge? Tahan tervitada publikut maailma, kus elavad tegelased, kes usuvad, soovivad, armastavad, julgevad, unistavad ja loodavad – sõltumata jõududest, mis püüavad neid kontrollida, piirata, siluda ja hirmutada vait olema.“
