| Description
|
Cabaret is set in 1931 in the Kit Kat Klub, a Berlin night club which becomes a gathering place for all sorts of creatures of the night, all of whom are trying to avoid the critical historic moment their country is going through, at times with incredible irony. In this atmosphere, the master of ceremonies Emcee provides a glimpse of a Germany on the threshold of becoming Nazi, while guiding the audience through two love stories: the first between pension owner Fraulein Schneider and one of her tenants, Herr Schultz, and the second between English singer Sally Bowles and young American writer Cliff Bradshaw.
The story behind Cabaret was originally from Christopher Isherwood's 1934 book Mr. Norris Changes Trains, a short novel about double-agents that was followed up by four subsequent novels, including Sally Bowles in 1937. In 1951, enthusiastic about this character’s potential, J. Van Druten used the book to write his own love story in I am a Camera. But it was Harold Prince who in 1965 revolutionised the plot by placing Sally in a cabaret, with music composed by John Kander and Fred Ebb and an extraordinary book by Joe Masteroff. Finally, perhaps the best known adaptation came when the story was brought to the big screen in 1972 in a film directed by Bob Foss and starring Liza Minnelli as Sally.
This new production redefines the potential of live theatre, of entertainment aimed at engrossing, transporting and deeply moving audiences. With a cast of thirty-three artists including actors, singers, dancers and musicians, Cabaret earned the unconditional support of audiences and critics in its three years running in Madrid. |
