Cabaret is many things to many people. For some it’s inseparable from the Weimar Republic in Berlin – an era with increasingly discomforting parallels to our own. Others associate cabaret primarily with Broadway tunes and razzle dazzle, with melancholy torch songs and sultry jazz standards, or intimate, deeply personal storytelling interspersed with songs.
For Isobel Marmion, Executive Producer of Adelaide Cabaret Festival, the artform’s variety and versatility is a big part of its appeal.
