“Will there be singing in the dark times? Yes there will also be singing, singing about the dark times.” (Bertolt Brecht)
In the ruins of a Cabaret theatre, an actor tumbles onto a darkened stage. When the lights come up he finds himself alone. His friends and colleagues have disappeared, arrested by the authorities. Only their shattered stage props and glittering torn costumes remain. The actor turns to run and vanish into the night, but an audience has slipped through the broken door, and they expect a show. So, he gives them the show of their life. He uses all his talents to joyously recreate the acts of the missing company. The Funnyman, the Showgirl, the Song and Dance Man and the rest of his troupe vividly spring to life on stage as the actor pays homage to his disappeared friends.
