HALBWELT KULTUR

In Development

Halbwelt Kutlur is a kaleidoscopic cabaret-musical conjuring the wild heartbeat of Weimar Berlin, a city teetering on the brink of transcendence and catastrophe.

 

Through a vivid ensemble of artists, revolutionaries, drag kings, dancers, and dreamers, the show unravels stories of defiance, desire, and survival.

 

Against the backdrop of a society slipping into fascism, this is a tribute to those who dared to live loudly, love radically, and lose themselves in the smoky corners of a city that welcomed everything for a fleeting moment.

 

At once a memory and a warning, Halbwelt Kultur is a love letter to a vanished world, and to all those who made it sing.

"Everyone once in Berlin!"
