Did you know that...

Europe

...the first big enterprises owned and managed by women were circuses?

But they were not even seen by the emancipation movement.

Berlin

...the Friedrichstadt-Palast already celebrated its 100^th anniversary twice, although it only turned 75 in 2020?

Life is just marketing, old chum!

Budapest

...after the first revue was staged in 1925, critics expected that operettas will disappear in the ’evolution of genres’?

They were wrong.

Paris

...since the 1880s the titles of the Folies Bergère revues had to be 13 letters?

The last production was in 1993, and not because they ran out of ideas.

Vienna

...a 1933 production featured a scene: 'Dancing the Goulash Recipe'?

I wish I had a picture of this, especially because cheese is not part of the dish.

Brno

...almost the entire 40 years documentation of Varieté Rozmarýn has disappeared?

If you know anything about it, let me know!

Would you like to know more?

Showcase

The Revue in Twentieth Century Budapest by Daniel Molnár book cover

I am fascinated by artists whose story have never been told: the firsts, the outsiders, the forgotten; and their public.

Theatre is for and about the moment. How can we capture and present these moments for a contemporary audience?
