history

The ensemble was established for the time being with the cabaret carnival program Little Fish in the Schwabing literary club Drawer . The one-hour program with texts by Therese Angeloff and compositions as well as accompaniment by the church composer Wolfgang Schoor was a. a. with Lia Pahl , Wera Paintner , Anita Bucher , Hannes Ganz and Therese Angeloff on stage a completely surprising premiere success. This was followed by numerous engagements in performances in Schwabing locales, such as B. the catacomb and the water lily .

The ensemble found its first permanent home when it was officially founded in April 1953 in a former bar of the American army in Leopoldstrasse. Erich Sehnke and Ingrid van Bergen joined the cabaret cast . The latter was on stage with the ensemble for the first time. Charlie Engels took over the musical direction . Joachim Faber also contributed compositions . After three years, Kinga von Felbinger replaced Anita Bucher, who was the only actress to leave the ensemble before it was dissolved.

Therese Angeloff represented the rebellion against the demons of the time and its concrete excesses , such as B. the resurrection of the military spirit with the return of high officers from captivity, the denomination of Bavarian schools and rearmament. The left-critical cabaret was one of the first victims of political radio censorship of cabaret programs in the FRG. In 1954 the ensemble refrained from broadcasting a program recording by Bayerischer Rundfunk after u. a. State Parliament President Alois Hundhammer (CSU) requested the removal of a number before it was broadcast.

Klaus Kinski and Michael Ende , the program numbers, however, have been written almost without exception by Therese Angeloff over the years. For guest stays in Scheveningen and Amsterdam, the then relatively unknown cabaret Die Namenlosen , u. a. with the student Dieter Hildebrandt , the cabaret commitments in Munich for several weeks. The ensemble's survival was sometimes due to fortunate coincidences, such as B. the visit and the praise by Theodor Heuss , whose effect ended abruptly by the low number of visitors in the hot summer of 1958.
