Ghosts of Weimar Past at The Triad

Ghosts of Weimar Past is a program of musical time travel, in which we honor the spirit of cabaret and vaudeville from the birth to the death of Weimar Berlin. From the gritty 20s, tumultuous 30s, and uncertain 40s, cabaret existed most importantly, as a way to criticize and defy the faults of society. Ghosts of Weimar Past is full of Marlene Dietrich standards, snippets from Anita Berbers Dances of Depravity, and the LGBTQ+ anthems and anti-Nazi songs that were sung under the very nose of fascism. When we study the past, we prevent history from repeating itself. What are the Ghosts of Weimar Past warning us of? Join chanteuse Artemisia LeFay & the Orchestra of the Depraved (Mary Spencer Knapp on accordion and Hannah Mount on piano.) as they resurrect the songs of Michael Jary, Mischa Spoliansky, Kurt Weill, Friederich Hollaender and more.
