EVENT, STAGE AND CABARET CREATIONS
One of the most valuable gems often found in the lively world of cabaret is the deliberate embrace of cheap entertainment - rhinestones and wit, punchlines and tease. In this mutual agreement to laugh for the sake of laughter, a profound essence quietly thrives. The playful illusion of shallow charm artfully bypasses the demand for audiences to contort themselves into contrived reaches for some relatable human experience. Before you know it, a loaded wink dismantles the last hint of pretension, disarming even the most obnoxiously verbose critic to trip on an unexpected heartbeat, stabbed speechless by the sharp nuance of carefully-timed authenticity.
AUSSER SICH / SALOME
