TICKETS + INFORMATION

The Potemkin Village concentration camp of Terezín/Theresienstadt housed many artists and musicians (until they were deported elsewhere for extermination). They created a lot of very attractive music there in the racy 1920s/30s Czech Neoclassical style. And, along similar lines, some very appealing cabaret — the focus of this show. Less appealing is that it was written, knowingly, in the shadow of death — but of course the whole point of cabaret is a dark underbelly.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: It would be a pity to be in the Bohemian National Hall and not to stop into Bohemian Spirit for some stick-to-your-ribs Czech food (and let’s not forget the beer).
