City Opera’s BERLIN: The Last Cabaret — January 23–26, 2020 at Performance Work

City Opera Vancouver presents the world premiere of the political satire BERLIN: The Last Cabaret (BERLIN) from January 2326, 2020 at Performance Works. Set in Nazi Germany on July 13, 1934, the darkly humorous production celebrates the subversive power of art and offers a warning to those who take freedom for granted. Directed and co-created by Alan Corbishley, in association with Sound the Alarm: Music/Theatre, and presented with the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, a cabaret troupe faces physical danger and a moral crisis. As Nazism tightens its grip on Germany, members of the company have disappeared under suspicious circumstances. The five that remain have to decide whether to bend to intimidation or perform their work uncensored. Tickets: $44.50 including fees and more info available at pushfestival.ca/shows/berlin-the-last-cabaret.
