Get ready for an immersive experience in the heart of Berlin’s Kit Kat Klub at Die Centurion Teater.
Step into the vibrant and intoxicating world of CABARET, the legendary musical, that captures the pulsating nightlife of Berlin’s Kit Kat Klub during the 1930s. Scenario Productions, in collaboration with Die Centurion Teater, is proud to present this unforgettable theatrical event from the 4th to 12th October 2024.
CABARET tells the riveting story of Sally Bowles, the club’s enigmatic star, and her fateful encounter with writer Clifford Bradshaw. Set against the backdrop of a crumbling Weimar Germany, this production immerses viewers in a time of soaring creativity and looming catastrophe, where the boundaries between reality and illusion blur in the smoke-filled haze of the Kit Kat Klub which provides a refuge during an uncertain and dark time.
Celebrating 30 years of artistic excellence, Die Centurion Teater will transform into the infamous Kit Kat Klub, with every seat offering an intimate connection to the action on stage. This innovative staging promises to make the audience feel as though they are a part of the club’s wild and unpredictable nightlife, transporting audiences to a world of decadence, danger and defiance.
Directors and Executive Producers, Tiaan Kirsten-Lubbe and Lian Sachse share: “Besides our own passion and absolute adoration for Cabaret, The Musical, and its iconic history, we see this as a fantastic opportunity to bring our community together with an unforgettable show and experience like never before. Since taking over Die Centurion Teater, which has a 30 year old legacy, and spearheading our in-house production company to foster young talent, this has been our primary ethos. Great theatre and art is right here in YOUR community and we take great pleasure in welcoming you to it!”
For those seeking an even more immersive experience, VIP tickets are available for R350pp. VIP guests will enjoy prime seating at exclusive cabaret tables right in front of the stage, where they’ll be served by the Cabaret Girls cast during an exclusive pre-show experience. With limited availability, these seats promise a night of unparalleled entertainment, so be sure to secure your spot early.
Leading the charge as the iconic Emcee is the dazzling RiRi Rouge, making history as the first drag queen to portray this legendary role. RiRi will be joined by some of the brightest young talents in the industry, bringing passion and raw energy to every performance.
“I feel immensely grateful to bring another layer of meaning and depth to this iconic character, Emcee, by being the first full drag artist to bring this role to the stage. I have been dreaming of playing Emcee since I was seven years old and now I can’t stop jumping with excitement and awe over this opportunity!” says Riri Rouge
