For decades, the Volksbühne has been trying, through ‘Russendisko’, to give German Christmas a human face. It says: ‘Look, it’s not just about tucking into a fat bird with your so-called family; let’s all celebrate together and dance for a good cause instead.’

Over the years, you’ve danced against war and for peace, against rising rents and for higher wages, against xenophobia and for freedom of expression. It’s all been to no avail. And yet there’s still a vital reason to celebrate together. You’re still here. Instead of procrastinating in front of the world news, it’s worth looking each other in the eye to reassure yourselves that the world isn’t inhabited solely by those costumed newspeople, but by yourselves – by empathetic people who are perfectly capable of distinguishing good from evil.
With this conviction, we’ll all get through this. They’re saying ‘no’ to polarisation and are meeting at the Volksbühne on 24 December to dance and celebrate.
Followed by: Kaminer’s ‘Russendisko’ against the war in the Roter Salon.
- Free entry for visitors to Kaminer’s Christmas at the Großes Haus.
- Otherwise, tickets are available only at the box office.
