Berlin Dich Klein Komische Nightlife Oper Revue Zieh Cabaret
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from the 1928 production of "Zieh Dich Aus" (Undress Yourself) at the Komische Oper in Berlin. The image transports us back to the vibrant and exhilarating 1920s, an era marked by jazz music, cultural experimentation, and a sense of liberation. In the photograph, a group of performers, dressed in elegant 1920s attire, are seen frolicking in a crystal-clear swimming pool on stage. The pool, surrounded by lush greenery and ornate columns, is the centerpiece of the scene. The performers, with their carefree expressions and playful poses, exude a sense of joy and abandon. The production of "Zieh Dich Aus" was part of the revue genre, a popular form of entertainment in Berlin during the 1920s. Revues were a mix of music, dance, comedy, and cabaret acts, and were known for their provocative and often politically charged content. The title of the production, "Undress Yourself," reflects the spirit of liberation and self-expression that characterized the era. James Klein, the director of the production, was a pioneering figure in German theatre and cabaret. He was known for his innovative staging and his ability to push boundaries, making "Zieh Dich Aus" a must-see event in Berlin's vibrant nightlife scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Berlin's 1920s theatre scene, a time of creativity, experimentation, and cultural transformation. It serves as a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to inspire and delight.
