The success of the ARD series Babylon Berlin forms the starting point for this stage event: Benno Fürmann, one of Germany's most celebrated film and television actors, and the Moka Efti Orchestra, the original big band from the hit series, present Der Vorhang fällt (The Curtain Falls), a musical reading about the 1930s. With Fürmann's narrative skill and atmospheric music somewhere between jazz and chanson, we are presented a portrait of a society caught between hope and imminent danger – based on Volker Kutscher’s novel Märzgefallene (The March Fallen).
