When the war ended, the occupying powers ensured that the kabarett portrayed the horrors of the Nazi regime. ( Kander and Ebb's Broadway musical, Cabaret, based on the Christopher Isherwood novel, Goodbye to Berlin, deals with this period.) In 1935 Werner Finck was briefly imprisoned and sent to a concentration camp at the end of that year Kurt Tucholsky committed suicide and nearly all German-speaking kabarett artists fled into exile in Switzerland, France, Scandinavia, or the United States. When the Nazi party came to power in 1933, they started to repress this intellectual criticism of the times. Some of their texts were written by great literary figures such as Kurt Tucholsky, Erich Kästner, and Klaus Mann. This meant that German kabarett really began to blossom in the 1920s and 1930s, bringing forth all kinds of new cabaret artists, such as Werner Finck at the Katakombe, Karl Valentin (died 1948) at the Wien-München, Fritz Grünbaum and Karl Farkas at the Kabarett Simpl in Vienna, and Claire Waldoff. This was lifted at the end of the First World War, allowing the kabarett artists to deal with social themes and political developments of the time. History Īll forms of public criticism were banned by a censor on theatres in the German Empire, however. Unlike comedians who make fun of all kind of things, Kabarett artists (German: Kabarettisten) pride themselves as dedicated almost completely to political and social topics of more serious nature which they criticize using techniques like cynicism, sarcasm and irony. The latter describes a kind of political satire. The first meaning is the same as in English, describing a form of entertainment featuring comedy, song, dance, and theatre (often the word "cabaret" is used in German for this as well to distinguish this form). Kabarett is the German word for the French word cabaret but has two different meanings. It shared the characteristic atmosphere of intimacy with the French cabaret from which it was imported, but the gallows humor was a distinct German aspect. By the Weimar era in the mid-1920s it was characterized by political satire and gallows humor. It later inspired creation of Kabarett venues in Germany from 1901, with the creation of Berlin's Überbrettl venue and in Austria with the creation of the Jung-Wiener Theater zum lieben Augustin housed in the Theater an der Wien. It was named Le Chat Noir and was centered on political events and satire. Kabarett ( German pronunciation: from French cabaret = tavern) is satirical revue, a form of cabaret which developed in France by Rodolphe Salis in 1881 as the cabaret artistique.
