In the face of the Nazi machine’s insidious advance, Germany’s Weimar era art-scene was a hotbed of music, theatre, and art designed to use satire and irony to expose the affected bourgeois morality of the time. Bold, provocative and titillating, “Cabaret Verboten" features the biting music, songs and scenes of Kurt Weill, Hanns Eisler, Bertolt Brecht, Friedrich Hollaender, Mischa Spoliansky and Marcellus Schiffer, among others. While "decadent” and “degenerate" were terms Hitler used to describe whatever he found objectionable in the art of the period, the cabaret of the day reflected the social degeneracy, dripping in decadence and menace, as a response to what their world had become.
