Neues Kabarett
Neues Kabarett has presented a monthly series of avant-garde / free jazz and experimental music concerts since 1998. We create performing opportunities for established and emerging artists (sometimes involving visual artists, dancers and poets as well as musicians) and have helped create a viable, visible new performance space at The Brecht Forum.
In addition, Neues Kabarett presents occasional events in other venues such as galleries and community gardens.
Neues Kabarett is a volunteer-run collective.
