Der brennende Diwan - Schedule, Program & Tickets
Der brennende Diwan
A production by the Armin Berg Gesellschaft on behalf of the Theater an der Wien in cooperation with the Last Pleased Opera Theater LEO.
In the fall of 1906, in the basement of the Theater an der Wien, the theater and cabaret "hell" with the waltz Mephistos hell calls of Johann Strauss opened. Since 2010, countless historic cabaret programs and a dance intermezzo have thrilled the audience and the press. After a prophecy by Leonardo da Vinci, Georg Wacks, with the persistent support of his extraordinary ensemble and with the strong help of the cast-in couch, designs the most fiery anniversary program of the historic cabaret: The Burning Divan. The eleventh program, based on the old Assyrian inscription "But you, stranger, eat, drink, love; What else man has is not worth mentioning, "he ventures far into yesterday's almost forgotten East of yesterday. Between the Euphrates and Tigris, Baghdad and Isfahan, Frankincense and Myrrh, Ali Baba and Frank Sinatra moves the ever more adventurous ensemble and leads the beloved audience into a thriving, fragrant world of historical cabaret. Indescribable performances, touching shanties, ancient oriental chants, international ladies' metamorphoses, sharp eunuch dances and literary jewels bring the atmosphere of "hell" back to life in the pouring champagne and clear starry sky, guaranteeing an extraordinary cabaret evening. The sensational artful equipment by Stefan Fleischhacker and Elena Schreiber is all about "100 years Bauhaus". Funny texts by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Fritz Grünbaum, Joachim Ringelnatz and Peter Altenberg guarantee a literary-humorous level. Songs by Victor Hollaender, Jacques Offenbach, Frank Wedekind and Henry Purcell complete the program. The sensitive ensemble "Albero Verde" provides the music in the usual perfect play. Marie-Theres Arnbom presents illuminating and newly lost artifacts from the cabarets in the accompanying anniversary exhibition Between Crescent Moon and Sickle. The focus of the exhibition is the cabaret exchange between the three monocultures that have shaped Europe for centuries.
