Salon Morpheus:
Inspired by cabarets and vaudeville shows from the early years of the 20th century, Salon Morpheus reinterprets them with novel and contemporary artistic and content elements. With an inclusive cast, Salon Morpheus seeks to reflect the diversity of society and offers a place to socially diverse people. The inclusion of all persons is close to our hearts. In the spirit of its myth, the ensemble is faithfully oriented to its namesake: the legendary Morpheus, god of dreams in Greek mythology.

In the almost seven years of its existence, Salon Morpheus has developed its own identity. By consistently creating its own visual language and ductus, it clearly stands out from conventional variety programs and thus represents an innovative interpretation.

With the request "well-groomed appearance desired", the audience is invited to attend the performances in special attire.
