The Show of the Century
Berlin, You Cool City takes you through the last 100 years of this city’s turbulent history. “And Berlin was Sodom and Gomorrah,” wrote Bertolt Brecht in 1928 about what was then the world’s third-largest metropolis. Berlin has remained that way to this day—a sleepless refuge for countless wanderers in search of adventure.

Berlin Du coole Sau - Eine Liebeserklärung
A unique journey through time...
The journey through time begins at Luna Park in the 1920s and ends at Berlin’s Berghain club today. From swing to the Love Parade, from Marlene Dietrich to Seeed: “Berlin, You Cool Bitch” builds a musical bridge from the golden era to the glittering present of this unique city.
...with a charming tour guide
The story is experienced through the eyes of a Berlin restroom attendant: Adele—played by Berlin icon Ades Zabel—tells the story of Berlin’s legendary nightlife, starting in the 1920s and continuing into the 2020s. She recounts—always with her finger on the pulse of the times and in her own brash Berlin style—the metropolis’s highs and lows, from the construction of the Wall to its fall, and the trash and glamour of that special blend that makes Berlin so unique.
Finally on Tour
After more than 60 acclaimed shows in Berlin and guest performances at various festivals, *Berlin, Du coole Sau* is finally embarking on a major tour of Germany.
The Capital Dance Orchestra, together with its wonderful singers Sharon Brauner (writer & director) and Meta Hüper (musical director), presents a spectacular evening of music, wit, burlesque dance—and Ades Zabel.
The long-overdue musical tribute to a unique city. A must-see for all Berlin lovers!
