Welcome to a time when people danced the Charleston all night long and got drunk on art and absinthe. With charm, irony and elegance, the Ballhausorchester takes you into the dazzling world of chansons from the 1920s, written by bad guys like Bert Brecht, Kurt Weill, Friedrich Holländer, Georg Kreisler and Jaques Brel.
But they don't stop at the pop song, which of course is always interpreted seriously - sometimes rhythmically hot South American, sometimes jazzed coolly, definitely danceable, even in pairs.
