Dance on the volcano

On the premiere night of "The Threepenny Opera," the audience encounters Josephine Baker, Bertolt Brecht, Marlene Dietrich, and scandalous nude dancer Anita Berber, and experiences the contrasting worlds of glamour and poverty, classical and jazz, drugs and ecstasy, and the queens of the night.


The brilliant storyteller Sven Ratzke succeeds in creating a thrilling "tightrope walk on the volcano":
fascinating entertainment, eye-catching stage design, and first-class music fabulously maintain the balance between the uninhibited and hopeless, which pulsated exactly 100 years ago and has a frightening number of similarities with today's world.


With the virtuoso string players of the renowned Matangi Quartet, he presents the music of Kurt Weill in new arrangements, presenting a completely new world of sound: swing, chanson, jazz, cinematic mental images, and a groovy beat – unique and incomparable.


Wild, shameless, and seductive: Sven Ratzke delves into the wicked 1920s of the bustling metropolis of Berlin, a time of ultimate freedom, where being different didn't irritate but inspire. Everything is possible – free art, debauchery, and lived fantasy.
