winter show at the Tipi tent this December and<br />

Tiger Lillies Freakshow<br />
The Wintergarten’s new show, running <strong>from</strong> January<br />
4 until February 6, explores the freak show and the<br />
deviant charms of the abnormal. Creatures of this<br />
peculiar world dress up in sequins and pearls to satisfy<br />
the greedy curiosity of their audience. A dark circus<br />
with the most unusual performers allures us into a life<br />
of alternate beauty and enchanting ways. Thirty songs<br />
in infamous Tiger Lillies’ style tell the audience tales of<br />
these peculiar and captivating creatures; those with<br />
three hearts, six arms or Siamese twins attached at<br />
the hip; all come to life to shock, thrill and satiate our<br />
curiosity of the bizarre.<br />
The show “Forever Young”, uses classic hits played live<br />
by a six-man band that remind us all of our careless<br />
youths as background music to stunning acts in this<br />
rock variety show. For example “Satisfaction” on<br />
the trapeze, juggling and comedy to the guitar riff of<br />
“Light My Fire” and more music by the Beatles, Rolling<br />
Stones, Nirvana, Pink Floyd and many others. Fittingly,<br />
the Wintergarten itself has a musical past, starting<br />
off as a cinema in 1913 but used as a rock concert<br />
hall <strong>from</strong> 1970 to 1989.<br />
Wintergarten Variété, Potsdamer Str. 96,<br />
Schöneberg, tel. +49 30 58 84 33, www.wintergartenberlin.de.<br />
Shows Wed-Sat 20:00, Sun 18:00.<br />
