33 (A KABARETT) / BREMNER DUTHIE

Bremner sings 9 songs from the era that are woven into the show, accompanied by a contemporary jazz quartet, that layers new interpretations onto the classic old songs. The songs can either be accompanied with live piano or small ensemble, or with a specially-recorded backtrack, recorded by a Parisian jazz ensemble.

In the ruins of a ravaged theatre, The Master of Ceremonies tumbles onto a stage ripped apart by violence. His friends and colleagues were beaten and arrested by the authorities. Only their shattered props and costumes remain. His own songs have shattered and emerge in fragments. He intends to give up and vanish into the night. But an audience has slipped through the broken door. They wait, partly in solidarity, partly voyeurs, hoping for a spectacle. Inspired, the man pays homage to his fallen friends, performing each of their acts – the sexual play of the showgirl, the revolutionary humour of the comedian, the movement of the light footed dancer. In these tributes, he gains the strength to carry on.

The show connects that past period with attacks on culture happening around the world. It is a re-enactment of a ritual that repeats through history. '33 focuses on Weimar Berlin between the wars, but spirals out to reference more modern events.
