Join Designing Worlds today, Monday 27th November at 2pm, a double look back, as we see again our visit in January 2013 to a really stunning region – a thoughtful and incredibly detailed recreation of 1920s Berlin. You can see the show here on the blog, or on Vimeo at: https://vimeo.com/379592636 – or you can join the Watch Party at 2pm SLT in the Designing Worlds studio in Garden of Dreams.
This is a fascinating slice of history. Weimar Germany was a place of immense social deprivations, and great wealth, a time of fiery politics, riots, rebellions and the growth of political parties that would dominate the coming decades. But it was also a time of enormous artistic creativity in art, architecture and the comparatively new medium of film. It was also a time of tremendous decadence – a time when all sorts of previously hidden or repressed behaviours were permitted, sometimes encouraged … and often viewed on the stages and in the cabarets.
All of this vibrant life takes place in a beautiful European city – a city also teeming with slums and a vibrant working class culture.
Jo Yardley, the creator of 1920s Berlin, talks about all this and more as she gives them a fascinating guided tour of the region with a soundtrack of authentic music of the era.
It’s a show you really won’t want to miss! So do come and join us at 2pm.
