Good Bye Berlin

Goodbye Berlin is a journey through a fascinating aesthetic that strives for ecstasy and fantasizes about death.

© Eventim

Inspired by Isherwood's semi-autobiographical novel Goodbye to Berlin, Kate Elswit's essay Watching Weimar Dance, and the legacy of prominent dancers of the time such as Kurt Jooss and Valeska Gert, the show explores the amoral universe of the intoxicating spectacle that unfolds as a “nightmarish hall of mirrors of political and social fears”: a cabaret.

Goodbye Berlin is set in a liminal space that oscillates between the turbulent Germany of the Weimar Republic and the present day, confronting contradictions, paradoxes, and apocalyptic visions with the palatable forms of pure spectacle.

As the world continues to spin dangerously, cabaret becomes a home for subversive and countercultural rituals. These rituals are our artistic repertoire, our staged heritage. But do they only serve to halt the rise of reactionary politics in entertaining bliss? Or can they counteract our depressive feeling of powerlessness and actually spark a mobilization against increasingly overarching powers?

Is pleasure even possible anymore, not in place of hope, but beyond it?

Goodbye Berlin is a journey through a fascinating aesthetic that strives for ecstasy and fantasizes about death.

Co-production with Constanza Macras | Dorky Park
