Written and Directed by: Søs Banke

With Babel Babel Babel are you taken on a musical journey through the diverse expressions of love, built around music from the 30s and 40s. In the first part of the cabaret, the audience is led through the difficult nature of love and in the second part we travel through Europe and the world with its history of war, nationalism, and the desire for freedom.

The cabaret is a musical story about the angel Babylon who, in a Babylonian mixture of languages, tries to find a way out of the human world. In the beginning, everything is a game, but even for an angel, earthly life becomes complicated. In the story of the angel Babylon, humor, irony, and passion are mixed. We meet an angel who talks frantically to himself, the sky, and the audience and slowly you are drawn ever deeper into the labyrinth of love, with both lightness and seriousness.
