In situations where strength falls short and we cannot engage in serious discussions on profound subjects, we often resort to creating peculiar jokes. This gave rise to our cabaret series. Cabaret is a genre comprising an assortment of eccentric performances, including comic skits, pantomime, and puppet theatre. Originating in France in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this form of entertainment emerged when authorities prohibited the public performance of popular songs on the streets.
Consequently, artists, painters, and poets shifted their activities indoors and added some dancing, poetry readings, and liquor alongside songs. The cabaret evolved into a space where creators could experiment with new ideas, and audiences could openly discuss taboo subjects. In our current repertoire, we feature three cabaret performances.

The performance features songs preserved by witnesses of the Shoah. Each of them is a document of the era and preserves historical memory. However, in “The Third Cabaret” the music takes on a modern sound, and the words become the anthem for a new generation confronting a new war.

"There Will Be No Wedding" is an original play by journalist Alina Farkash, specifically written for the Fulcro theatre in collaboration with Zhenya Berkovich, who authored the poetic texts for the play. This is a story of people in a small town who survived the apocalypse — what they did before, during, and after the cataclysmic event.
