When the scooters are zooming around again!!!

That sudden surge of joy at the arrival of the warm season. Everything’s bursting with life out there—and often our own feelings along with it.

Welcome to this evening of music and cabaret featuring the Berlin chanson artist “Chanson-Nette” Jeannette Urzendowsky and Harry Ermer on piano and harmonica—about anticipation, butterflies in the stomach, one person’s sneezing fits and another’s exercise binges, about long days, crazy cyclists and drivers, kids’ birthday parties in the park, and walking the dog—in short, about everything that keeps sun-hungry Berliners and their guests on their toes.

“When the scooters zip by again,” sang the popular 1920s comedienne Claire Waldoff; the “Fabulous Bar Girls” of the 1980s sang about sunburn—“...instead of breasts, I’ve got tomatoes now...” Cabaret artist Friedhelm Kändler declaims: “Sweet season of allergies, when people flee their defenses.” And his “A Snail’s View of the World” turns everything upside down.

The Tagesspiegel writes about Chanson-Nette:

“There are few artists who can
