Description

Many residents of the Sanatorium Maimonides are former victims of National Socialism. In order to make their last years more enjoyable, the management has decided to invite people to put on a performance by the cabaret LEO. The play “Were you ever in love with me?” tells of the life of the Viennese cabaret artist Paul Morgan, of his heyday in Vienna and Berlin, his defeats and his fate in the concentration camp Buchenwald. This project is a piece of musical theatre about the life of Paul Morgan and his stage partner Max Hansen, who was able to escape the National Socialists and of Zarah Leander, who was discovered and promoted by the pair and later, however, became a star in the National Socialist regime.

Viele Bewohner des Sanatoriums Maimonides sind ehemalige Opfer des Nationalsozialismus. Um Ihnen den Lebensabend schöner gestalten zu können, hat die Leitung beschlossen, eine Aufführung des Kabaretts LEO ins Heim zu holen. Das Stück „War’n Sie schon mal in mich verliebt?“ erzählt vom Leben des Wiener Kabarettisten Paul Morgan, von seinen Glanzzeiten in Wien und Berlin, seinen Niederlagen und von seinem Schicksal im Konzentrationslager Buchenwald. Bei diesem Projekt handelt es sich um ein Musiktheaterstück über das Leben von Paul Morgan und seinen Bühnenpartner Max Hansen, der den Nationalsozialisten entkommen konnte, und von Zarah Leander, die von beiden entdeckt und gefördert wurde, später jedoch im NS-Regime ein Star wurde.
