ELLA FILAR’S Krows Bar Kabaret is political, vulgar, artistic, grotesque, sexy and sublime. Inspired by Left-Of -Berlin European post - war musicology and performance, its highly original, inimitable style is a joyful yet terrifying challenge.
True to its form this latest offering from Krows Bar Kabaret will feature Krows Bar Kabaret multi-talented performers turning themselves into existential pretzels while belting out Ella’s greatest hits and misses. All held together- or pulled apart- by a high camp, irreverent banter of Joel Grey like MC.
Entertaining, upbeat and celebratory this unique Kurt Weill/Brecht Berlin style cabaret of the Weimar era reimagined for modern audiences is sure to hit your existential G - spot.

“Nobody else in Melbourne writes music quite like this, as far as I know. If you love cabaret as an art form, you must see… and be inspired by how rebellious and free-souled it sounds.”
“All the songs and the music are world class with that smoky, jagged, disturbing Weimar feel…”
“The songs are the stand-out element, the music has an urgency to it that is alluring and the lyrics are rich in imagery”
“Fantastically haunting cabaret music of the Weimar period…. Keen powers of observations… seething, seamy eroticism.”
Strong sexual references
