EDITORS COMMENTS
The Scene at the Court of Nebuchadnezzar" is a captivating image from James Klein's production of "Zieh Dich Aus" (Undress Yourself) at the Komische Oper in Berlin during the 1920s. This photograph, taken in 1928, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and eclectic world of jazz age entertainment in Berlin during the 1920s. The image showcases a lively scene at the court of King Nebuchadnezzar, with performers dressed in elaborate costumes and headdresses, engaging in a joyous and exuberant dance. The king himself, depicted in the center, watches the performance with a delighted expression, surrounded by his courtiers. The atmosphere is one of merriment and abandon, reflecting the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and the city's thriving cabaret and nightlife scene. James Klein, a renowned director and designer, was known for his innovative and avant-garde productions. "Zieh Dich Aus" was a revue, a type of theatrical entertainment popular during the 1920s, which featured a series of unrelated acts, often with a satirical or humorous theme. The production was a huge success and became a symbol of the cultural and artistic vibrancy of Berlin during this period. The photograph captures the energy and excitement of the production, as well as the spirit of the age. The use of bold colors, dynamic angles, and expressive body language convey the sense of freedom and self-expression that characterized the 1920s. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Berlin's rich cultural history and its influence on the world of entertainment.
