Cabaret fatal
Our dear (and hopefully future) audience that is yet to become one,
we know it wasn’t easy not to just stay at home! (verse… marginally)
Thank you for coming. (break)
Why did you come here?
It doesn’t matter, what is important is that we are here!
Because only those who didn’t arrive are late!
And for those of you who did arrive, and took this program in your hands in the hope that it will help you, guide you, comfort you, inform you or at least entertain you while you wait for this reverberation of a cabaret to begin (a reverberation?), it is maybe right now that you have started thinking that you should have stayed for another drink instead of coming here, but it’s too late, you’re already here – hostages of the theater (funny, cringy).
Then again, you might be wondering, why is this called Cabaret Fatal? What is so fatal about it? Is it disastrous, shocking, dangerous, unprecedented, new?
Also, are we even capable of being astonished by recycling the art forms from the 20th century? (what forms?)
This is why, through this DIY reverberation of a cabaret, we (self-ironically) interweave dance, acting, clownery and build a performance environment using music that varies from full-blooded compositions to simple melodies from mobile applications (contemporary).
We warn, shout and resolutely repeat thoughts that fall into oblivion as soon as they are uttered.
Just like almost every problem today.
It is forgotten by tomorrow.
And this is why:
welcome, feel free to relax,
get comfortable,
willkommen, bienvenue,
you are more than welcome!
