Achtung! Welle 505: A Vibrant and Jazz-Fueled Revue of the Roaring Twenties from Berlin's Admirals Palast This programme cover for Achtung! Welle 505, staged at the renowned Admirals Palast in Berlin during 1926, showcases the electrifying energy and innovative spirit of the Roaring Twenties. Designed by Gesmar, the cover art is a visual feast of Art Deco influences, with bold lines, geometric shapes, and a dazzling color palette that perfectly encapsulates the era's aesthetic. At the heart of this revue was the visionary Herman Haller, who masterfully blended music, dance, and theatrical elements to create an unforgettable experience for audiences. The title "Achtung! Welle 505" translates to "Attention! Wave 505," suggesting a wave of excitement and novelty that swept through Berlin's cultural scene during this time. The programme cover also highlights the influence of jazz music on the European stage, with a saxophonist prominently featured among the geometric shapes and abstract forms. Jazz had made its way across the Atlantic and was transforming the European cultural landscape, and Achtung! Welle 505 was a testament to this musical revolution. This programme cover is a precious reminder of the groundbreaking artistic movements and cultural shifts that took place in Berlin during the 1920s. It invites us to imagine the thrill of attending a performance at the Admirals Palast, where the boundaries between art, music, and entertainment were constantly being pushed and redefined.
