Description

"A night with The Tiger Lilies is like being transported back to Berlin’s cabarets of the 1920s. Stories full of eccentricity, blasphemy and weirdness, but also full of fantasy, poetry, magic and love - these are The Tiger Lillies’ tales. With dark British humour, the band celebrates an obscure danse macabre, an unsettling, freaky show giving us a sad account of the dark side of life.

The London trio, a well-kept secret amongst insiders for some time, has gradually won fans in the world in recent years. The intimate soirčes, previously held in vaudeville theatres and tiny cabarets, eventually had to be moved to the circus arena and larger theatres. The Tiger Lillies´ weird concoction of proletarian Liederabend and Brechtian lowlife-theatre is quite traditional for Germany - even if the Germans are less skilled in the art of mockery than the British."
