CINEMA IN A SUITCASE
Has Cabaret been a musical you've had
in mind?
Yes, I’ve seen several versions of Cabaret,
even in New York, and I’m not going to rewatch
the film — I’d rather let myself be guided by
the director.

What’s it like for you to be the Master of Ce-
remonies in Cabaret?
I’m going back to my roots. I started in thea-
tre, moved into the audiovisual world, and now
I return for Cabaret, which means unlearning
what I’ve learned. I don’t want to draw inspira-
tion from other versions, and although I’ve sung
on other occasions, here I sing more and I’m
thoroughly preparing with dance lessons.
What do you think of this version?
Cabaret is a “highly relevant” piece, unfortunate-
ly. Performing in a cabaret where everyone can
be who they want to be and express themselves
artistically however they please is something ne-
cessary right now. The production speaks to the
soul — it’s important that people empathise and
don’t see it as someone else’s story.

Cabaret, the opportunity
to travel to Berlin in 1931
without leaving the Kit
Kat Klub in Madrid. An
immersive, vibrant and
provocative experience
that brings back all the
glamour of Broadway's
most iconic musical. ‘Life
is a cabaret, old friend,
come to the cabaret’
resounds loudly in this
version that invites you to
forget the outside world
for a couple of hours
