Les Âmes Perdues
Muziektheater Transparant |
Few things are as intoxicating as Eau de Cologne mixed with Schnapps on a sultry summer evening. Follow the scent and you will find yourself inside this Berlin cabaret. Enter at your own peril, of course, because all the singing and the satire are sure to go to your head.
Les Âmes Perdues is a piece of music theatre that will knock you out if you’re not careful, featuring work by Francis Poulenc, Benjamin Britten, Kurt Weill, Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel and others. With Les Âmes Perdues, Muziektheater Transparant is moving into new territory where self-mockery, parody and sensuality rule. Welcome to the 1920s: war is coming, money makes the world go around, and the only thing we know for sure is that tomorrow may never come. Dansez, dansez!
