Katona József Theatre presents a dazzling variety, a unique spectacle with live music, memorable songs in ten languages and stunning dance performances, reviving an age long gone – not forgotten.
Life is a cabaret – says the popular song recalling early 20th century’s old world. Cabaret thrives on theatre, variety and the desire for public life. European cities, becoming metropolis 100 years ago, began to know and learn each other’s culture, musik and forms of entertainment. From Scandinavia to the Balkans and Iberia to Eastern-Europe the same songs ruled the night – preserving their local traditions and spirit. People survived hard times through the night – they wanted entertainment more than anything else.
Our company performs Our Class in the 33rd Warsaw Theatre Meetings in Warsaw, Poland.
