Het Onderwater Cabaret Live
An evening of music and poetry. Part of the program accompanying the exhibition “My Verses Are Like Dynamite” Curt Bloch’s Underwater Cabaret

Past event
Where
Old Building, level 2, Great Hall
Lindenstraße 9–14, 10969 Berlin
Dutch actor Richard Gonlag and other performers will sing and recite pieces by the German-Jewish author – which are as topical now as when they were written, unmasking political rhetoric, propaganda and obfuscation. A very special cabaret evening!
