Representation
This extraordinary play tells the story of a young stage artist's career, beginning at the time of Austria's annexation by Nazi Germany in 1938.
Lola Blau went into exile in America via Switzerland, became famous, lost her illusions and returned to Vienna after the war.
The play has lost none of its relevance since its premiere in 1971. The cabaret songs of the great composer, singer and poet Georg Kreisler (1922-2011) cover a range from virtuoso comedy to touching tragedy.
"Lola Blau" is a story of helplessness. Lola is as helpless and powerless against anti-Semitism as she is against her own Jewishness. She is helpless against the stubborn Swiss, she gets helplessly carried away by the American sexual career and, in the end, she is helpless again against the diehard Austrians. All she wants is to dance and sing a little and please her audience. But she must understand that it is no use being satisfied with a small and modest place in the sun. First of all, everyone must try to eliminate the obstacles that block their path and prevent their fellow human beings from enjoying the sun.
Georg Kreisler laid the foundations for literary cabaret. His songs are biting, bizarre and political. They disturb, seduce and shake people up. He hated the boxes he was put into. Cabaret artist? He doesn't think so, he writes in his autobiography. "I hope not," he adds. Günther Rohles, Deutschlandfunk.
