Music from “Chopin’s Heart”
Feb 23 | 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Eastern European Cabaret, circa 1939
CHOPIN’S HEART: a glimpse into the lost world of pre-World War II Warsaw, vibrant, cosmopolitan city that had a cabaret scene rivaling Berlin and Paris. It was utterly destroyed in 1939 and is gone forever. In 1964 London, survivor Frederic Sercki is a recluse haunted by the past. Fellow cabaret artist and survivor Zozo Terné attempts to prod his memory about the cabaret—Serce Chopina, or Chopin’s Heart—that he started just a few months before the Nazi and Soviet invasion of Poland.
