This painting was inspired by an article in a broadsheet about an attempt in Berlin to resurrect the burlesque cabaret, along the lines of the 1920s and 1930s tradition, as depicted in the famous film Cabaret starring Lisa Minelli. However, it was uncertain whether it would be possible to shock anyone today. Using his fine sense of the ridiculous, Gollon shows us one such attempt.
