The Curiosity Cabaret is a brand new London-based production and is the first ever cabaret in the style of a medical lecture. An interactive theatrical experience that will delve into the depths of 19th Century medicine. Plans are already in place to produce a number of other productions over the next 12 months. Each event throughout the year will have a different scientific theme that will teach people about medical history creating a theatre of knowledge, using storytelling, immersive theatre, music, dance, poetry, cabaret and circus. The fascinating theme of the first show will be The Science and History of Voice in the 19th Century. Dr Anna Maerker, Senior Lecturer in history of medicine at King's College London, has a specialist interest in this subject and has created a lecture especially for the show. This will set the tone for the whole night. Dr Maerker is passionate about her subject and will be spending several weeks with the artists before the show to provide them with the stimulus and inspiration to create new work.
