Backstage

14.01.2023-26.01.2023 Theater Neumarkt, Zurich 

Performer Lulu Obermayer embarks on a journey through the (political) history of cabaret alongside ensemble member Challenge Gumbodete. They explore the legacy of the cabaret scene, from Erika Mann and Therese Giehse's Die Pfeffermühle to the Cabaret Cornichon, once located at Neumarkt, and the dancer Josephine Baker, an icon of Parisian cabaret and the French Resistance. ​

Two performers in the backstage, in exile—just before the performance—a sensual encounter between worlds!
