Cabaret
Fuse Theatre Ensemble presents Cabaret!
A government bent on silencing the media and cleansing its citizenry; lies and corruption dominate the headlines; nationalism slowly infects us and our neighbors start to disappear.
Outside… life is disappointing. But in the Kit Kat Klub… life is BEAUTIFUL!!
Come witness an event unlike any other in Portland as Fuse Theatre Ensemble and The OUTwright Theatre Festival present a site-specific rendering of queer icons John Kander and Fred Ebb’s most iconic musical, Cabaret. Step back in time to investigate the present as last century’s headlines become today’s tweets and we are reminded once again how society can creep slowly towards fascism without even realizing it.
There is no use permitting the Prophet of Doom to wipe every smile away. Life is a Cabaret, old chum. Come to the Cabaret!!
Content warning: Mature audience only. Nazi imagery. Nudity. Implied alcohol and drug use.
