Who doesn’t remember when Zille and Portiesche burst into the courtyard on their first visit to KunstHofKöpenick—what a scene that was!

What a great morning it was—I’m just saying “Egon” or “Why shouldn’t a woman have an affair?”

What else is there to say? Anyone who was there a few years ago will be back anyway, and anyone who wants to know what it was like back then should check this out.

If you’re up for a surprise and just love Berlin-style sass and great songs, come on by and let yourself be enchanted by

Hinter-Hoflieferanten

Songs and stories from the period 1890–1930

The Hinter-Hoflieferanten carry on a tradition from the turn of the century, when poor musicians tried to bring a little joy to the dreary world of big-city backyards.

Maids would briefly pause their work to have a little dance, while the masters listened surreptitiously from behind the curtains—only to toss a penny wrapped in newspaper into the courtyard as a token of thanks.

Susanne Brantl and her musicians bring this milieu back to life: tracing the often arduous living conditions with “Songs of a Poor Girl” by Holländer, “Nanna’s Song” by Brecht, and Fritzi Massary’s reimagined image of women in “Why Shouldn’t a Woman Have an Affair?”—a journey through time to operetta, cinema, and cabaret; Claire Waldoff’s “Because of Emil’s Indecent Lust” shows: the chansons from the old gramophones have remained astonishingly relevant...
