Maybe the word "Farewell Tour" triggers astonishment, sadness or even panic in you. It doesn't. That's exactly how it's intended by me and my management. A farewell increases the market value of this cabaret product by the emotional charge many times over. It doesn't matter which farewell it is: Is Christine Prayon saying goodbye to the stage? Possibly. A woman in her mid-40s is an aesthetic provocation and, if she really loves her audience, better retire from the public eye without being asked.
Is cabaret dead? Possibly. When politicians try their hand at being clowns, the clowns run for politics. Or are we talking about a goodbye on a grand scale? Of the end of capitalism?
