From the intimate, smoke filled late night venues where artists expressed their social and political thoughts through song and dance, cabaret continues to draw us into its satirical, risque, heart-rending world.

Cabaret is personal, funny, sad and close to the bone, because its performers are continually striving to connect directly with their audience, just as they have done since the Moulin Rouge days of Paris, through to German Kabarett, to the English music halls, to the New York cabaret clubs and once again to... The Adelaide Cabaret Festival, the cat's whiskers of cabaret!
