Of blossoming and fadingEroticism in times of social distress
"There is no guilt. There is only the passage of time." Kurt Tucholsky coined the phrase in reference to the private sphere: to all kinds of taboo-breaking and a dissolute erotic life. But the public sphere was charged with guilt after revolution, rebellion, coups and political murders: Berlin, with almost four million inhabitants, was the most dazzling German city. On the one hand, there was unbridled hedonism, wild parties, drugs, masses of liberal variety shows and brothels, and on the other hand, there was a housing shortage, poverty, public and private debt. The "Golden 20s" were not golden years for "great love". There was a new self-determination - especially among women, but this led to plenty of uninhibited heterosexual and lesbian promiscuity - especially in the artistic milieu.
The evening, with poems by Bertolt Brecht, Mascha Kaléko, Erich Kästner and Kurt Tucholsky newly composed by Rudi Schubert, offers literary chanson at its finest. Songs about the intoxication of love and dismaying emotional coldness, about the defiant belief in happiness for two and its hopeless disenchantment, about ball whispers and the market for love for sale. The basic tenor remains: "Of course I am very happy. But I am not happy."
