Adéu a Berlín

SYNOPSIS

Josep Costa has adapted this play which was Joe Masteroff and John Kander’s inspiration to create the famous musical Cabaret. The play uses its songs taking the characters that were immortalized in cinema by Liza Minelli and Joel Grey. “I am a camera with an open shutter. Passive, thorough, unable to think. I take pictures of the man who shaves in the front window and the woman in a kimono who washes her hair. Someday I’ll have to develop them, reflect them carefully on paper… There was a ringmaster in a city called Berlin, in a country called Germany. It was the end of the world. And I was dancing with Sally Bowles. And we were all asleep…”

REVIEWS

“A highly recommended show.”

“The ability of this play to convey emotions is its first value. In this case, with rigor and professionalism.”

“A strong and dynamic performance full of magnetism and sensuality. Done with freshness, expressive and fun.”

“Adéu a Berlin” is a happy play. A Christmas candy which will satisfy those who saw the film.”

“Ten enthusiastic singers-actors, three musicians, ten wooden stools and some coloured bulbs actually manage to make a theatrical version of Cabaret.”
