A DEFIANT
BERLIN TALE

Amidst the flickering lights of Berlins 1920s underground cabaret scene, Lotte Hahm and Käthe Fleischmann found a love that refused to be extinguished. Witness the true story of two women who dared to lead, love, and dream in a city on the brink of absolute change.

SUPPORT THE VISION

Your contribution directly funds the archival research and stage craftsmanship needed to bring this defiant world to life on the Berlin stage.

ARTISTIC RESISTANCE

Burning Berlin is a reclamation of occupied space. Through defiant musical theater, we honor the stories of lesbian and trans activists as a testament to queer love and endurance.

HISTORICAL LEGACY

Dive deep into the pioneering spirit of the Weimar era. We provide educational modules exploring the hidden histories of queer resistance and cultural revolution.

OUR PROJECT

Burning Berlin is an independent production.

We receive neither government funding nor sponsorship. We are a small, creative team putting on a play we believe in. Right now, the project is driven primarily by the dedication

and passion of our team, who volunteer their

time and thus make it possible to bring this project to life.

„Viele dieser queeren Lebensgeschichten tauchten weder im Mainstream noch in den Geschichts-büchern auf. Sie wollen solche Geschichten erzählen und dabei auch eine Stadt wieder aufleben lassen,
in der 'eine glamouröse, ausgelassene queerer Euphorie und Lust ausgelebt werden konnte'.“

„Aus der ersten Begegnung entwickelt sich eine Liebesgeschichte, eine gemeinsame politische Mission und der Versuch, queeres Leben in einer zunehmend feindlichen Gesellschaft zu bewahren.“
