April sind die berühmten Tiger Lillies dreimal im Berliner Tipi am Kanzleramt nahe Hauptbahnhof mit einer neuen Show zu sehen – im Zentrum des Geschehens steht neben ihrem dem Postpunk entwachesenen Dark Cabaret-Sound die Absurdität der Existenz, die sie bereits auf ihre unverwechselbare Art in ihrem Gassenhauer “The Crack of Doom” besungen haben. “Brimming with wit, wisdom and humanity they argue that our achievements will come to nothing – like throwing stones into a pond, the effects of our actions will ripple away into nothingness” heißt es im Begleittext (siehe Link). “The Tiger Lillies are one of the foremost avant-garde bands in the world. Grammy nominated, Olivier award winners their shows are dark, peculiar and varied, with moments of black humour and immense beauty.

This unique, Brechtian street opera trio tour the world playing concerts and theatre shows such as The Tiger Lillies Circus, Freakshow and the West End hit Shockheaded Peter. Always with a touch of twisted humor and sharp irony The Tiger Lillies point an implicit accusing finger back at us: what on Earth are we doing, laughing at this stuff? Their music is a mixture of pre-war Berlin cabaret, anarchic opera and gypsy music, echoing the voices of Bertolt Brecht and Jacques Brel. One of the first bands to tour Ukraine since war broke out, they released an album to support the people there”. The Tiger Lillies sind Martyn Jaques (Gesang, Akkordeon, Piano, Ukulele), Budi Butenop (Drums, Percussion, klingendes Spielzeug) und Adrian Stout (Gesang, Kontrabass, singende Säge).
