Barry Humphries Weimar Cabaret

What you get:

• Ticket for 1 to Barry Humphries Weimar Cabaret at the Barbican

Why this event is for you:
Barry Humphries is the masterfully seasoned emcee, and cabaret diva Meow Meow the chanteuse in this risqué, sophisticated and seductive tribute to the jazz-infused music of the Weimar Republic. Reawakening the spirit of 20s/30s Berlin in this revelatory concert, your hosts will acquaint you with the oft-forgotten composers of the time, many Jewish, whose art would soon be condemned as ‘degenerate’ by the Nazis, dancing as it did on the edge of a precipice. Best known as Dame Edna Everage, Humphries sets aside his alter ego to share his personal passion for a period that has long fascinated him, his witty anecdotes and irreverent asides providing interludes to a treasure trove of songs and instrumentals.
