EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from the German revue "Sonnenspektrum" (The Solar Spectrum), which graced the stage of the Kurfurstendamm Playhouse in Berlin during 1928. The production, based on the provocative works of Frank Wedekind, showcased a unique blend of comedy and modernity that resonated with the cultural zeitgeist of the time. In this image, we see a group of dapper men clad in the height of fashion. Their white bowler hats and ultra-Oxford bags are reminiscent of the Continental comedian tradition, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the production. The wide-legged trousers and athletic builds of the performers reflect the mania for sport that had swept through Germany like an epidemic. The scene exudes a sense of modernity and vitality, with the men's confident poses and the playful expressions on their faces. The setting, with its dimly lit stage and theatrical backdrop, further emphasizes the sense of excitement and energy that permeated the production. The revue, which was known for its daring and provocative content, pushed boundaries and challenged societal norms. It was a testament to the artistic and cultural innovation that was taking place in Berlin during the interwar period, making it a must-see for both locals and visitors alike. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Berlin's vibrant and dynamic theatre scene during the 1920s.
