Fans of the Cabaret Vagabond often find themselves asking: "Cabaret Vagabond? Sure, it's a hip, sexy name that I can't help but mention to my friends and lovers, but just what the H does it mean?"
That's a tough question. A question that just might take an entire show's worth of gorgeous skits and songs to answer!
Join us at Martyrs as we finally confront the basic conflict implicit in our agenda.
Cabaret? Fancy dance halls. Cigarette smoke and leggy blondes. Homosexuals wittily responding to a sophisticated crowd already bored with life and "over" heroin.
Vagabond? Lonely camp fires. Bindles and beans. Watching your last morsel of food vanish in the mouth of a stranger's baby as your shaking fingers pluck out a tune that was written too long ago to be called 'the blues.'
WHAT IS THE CONNECTION? WHY DID WE NAME OURSELVES AFTER THIS CONTRADICTION IN TERMS? JUSTIFY THYSELF, CAB VAG!
And we will.
Martyrs is legit, people. Come out. We are excited and so should you be.
Experience a thriving community of Chicago Artists. Come. Watch. Kunst.*
* "Das ist Kunst"
pron: (doss isst Koohnst)
def:
1. "That is Art" (German)
2. The last recourse of an artist who has lost all relevance.
3. An esoteric phrase shamelessly appropriated to tart up our otherwise completely lackluster cabaret enterprise.
