History was and is written in Berlin. The German capital ideally combines the old Prussian traditions with the pulse of the times.
Berlin is the city of museums. Over 170 museums in Berlin keep the history, art and knowledge of the city alive and form a unique museum scenery - a dynamic landscape that is growing in breathtaking speed. Many of the museums also form the city's memory banks if you will. Among other things, they document the Kingdom of Prussia, the city's turbulent role in two world wars and the affects of the Iron Curtain.
moreWhether it's a parody of a politician, a biting sketch or a sarcastically twisted cover song - when the spot(t)lights go on at the DISTEL, they tease, dissect and rip off with sharp humour and lots of live music. Lovers of cabaret and friends of black humour get their money's worth just as much as fans of political comedy. The legendary ensemble cabaret with its chequered history is considered Germany's first address for political satire. Located in the heart of Berlin - right next to Friedrichstrasse station - the DISTEL sees its proximity to the Bundestag and the Chancellor's Office as an incentive to be the "sting at the seat of government". (German performances only)
Watch out: in August 2023, the cabaret theatre will be taking place directly at the Maritim proArte Hotel and present the play "Wer hat an der Welt gedreht" (Who has turned the world around).
