Berlin, you cool pig - a declaration of love

The show of the century

Berlin, you cool pig, takes you through the last 100 years of this city's eventful history. "And Berlin was Sodom and Gomorrah", wrote Bertolt Brecht in 1928 about the world's third largest metropolis at the time. Berlin has remained so to this day - a sleepless refuge for countless drifters in search of adventure.

A unique journey through time...

The journey through time begins in Luna Park in the 1920s and ends in today's Berlin club Berghain. From Swing to Loveparade, from Marlene Dietrich to Seeed: Berlin, Du coole Sau builds a musical bridge from the golden era to the sparkling present of this unique city.

...with a charming tour guide

The story is experienced through the eyes of a Berlin toilet lady: Adele - played by Berlin original Ades Zabel - tells of Berlin's legendary nightlife, starting in the 1920s and continuing into the 2020s. She reports - always with her finger on the pulse and with a Berlin snout - about the highlights and downfalls of the metropolis, from the building of the Wall to the fall of the Wall and about the trash and glamor of this special connection that makes Berlin so unique.

Finally on tour

After more than 60 acclaimed shows in Berlin and guest appearances at various festivals, Berlin, Du coole Sau is finally embarking on a major tour of Germany.

Together with its wonderful singers Sharon Brauner (writer & director) and Meta Hüper (musical director), The Capital Dance Orchestra presents a brilliant evening of music, esprit, burlesque dance - and Ades Zabel.

The long overdue musical homage to a unique city. A must for all Berlin lovers!
