Chanson singer and conférencière Marie Oser, accompanied by her pianist Sophie Sczepanek, presents amusing and profound chansons and stories from the 1920s and 1930s.

They all pass us by: the composer and cabaret artist Friedrich Hollaender with his eye for the milieu, Werner Richard Heymann with film music from famous UFA classics, the melancholy poet Mascha Kaléko, the biting writer Kurt Tucholsky and, last but not least, the "revolver snout" Claire Waldoff.

And, of course, there are also stories about the immortal Marlene Dietrich. All spiced up with theme songs from the famous series Babylon Berlin.

Immerse yourself in a time in which extravagance and the quiet foreboding of impending crises come together and enjoy this evening like a good drink, true to the motto: if the last straw you're holding on to is in a glass of gin, you're actually still okay.
