12:50 am
are quite a few parallels with today. a lot of similarity is the guns of guns, in this is the 1920, s. are experiencing a revival. why do you think that is? i say that on the one hand, it just simply because it's the 100th anniversary. that's the banal explanation. although the exciting part of the 1920 s. began in 1924 or 25. so we might start again in 5 years time, but a lot of it has to do with this series babylon, balin, it's become a subject for so many people who knew nothing about the time. how would you compare the nightlife in berlin of the 1000 twenty's and today in 2020, what are the similarities these wild palash shows with drag queen drag kings by last stripping all these things and also the shifting of different gender roles. just you know,,
