Rendezvous with Claire Waldoff

The Berlin Schnauze with heart is back! Claire Waldoff sang and performed her chansons with wit and cheerfulness, deep empathy and a sense of reality. What was it that made her special? Why, of all people, did a young actress who had come to Berlin from the Ruhr area symbolize so much the image of the Berlin brat in the late imperial era and the 1920s?


"Chanson-Nette" Jeannette Urzendowsky is a "Berlin plant" from the Friedrichshain neighborhood.
In a duo with Herbert Götz at the piano, she takes her audience back to the time when Claire became a legend. In doing so, she does not imitate her, but recalls in her own way the great comedienne, born in 1884, and her various facets and phases of life. Claire was youthful-tender, cheeky, tomboyish, self-confident and vulnerable.

Many popular chansons and rarer songs from Claire Waldoff's repertoire are part of the program. "Ach Jott, wat sind die Männer dumm!", "Die Großstadtpflanze", "Das Dornröschen vom Wedding" or "Raus mit den Männern aus dem Reichstag" fill this evening for all fans of Berlin humor. And of course Chanson-Nette tells many stories from Claire's life with her genuine Berlin mouth.

The Berliner Tagesspiegel writes about Chanson-Nette:
"There are only a few artists who can embody a Berlin original so credibly."

Potsdam's floating stage: a very special cultural experience! Cabaret & music in the former hold of a Mark Brandenburg inland freighter, built in 1924, 52 meters long, a good six meters wide - and now protected as a technical monument. “Sturmvogel” is the name of the Potsdam theater ship, which is open all year round and hosts up to 300 performances a year. At the beginning of the 1990s, it was converted into a theater that can seat up to 90 guests. But that's not all: here you can enjoy culture and art, have fun in the ship's pub and enjoy the flair of the cultural and natural scenery close to the water. The bar is open before and after the performances. In summer you can order drinks on the upper deck. Cheers! You can look far across the deep lake to Babelsberg Palace Park, an enchanting panorama. Ahoy & have fun on Potsdam's floating stage!
