Der Palast

A Story set during the time of the Berlin Wall, giving you a one of a kind experience what it was like working at the Friedrichstadtpalast aka The Palace in the 80s.

I rarely watch german productions, cause I mostly dislike them in certain ways but what a surprise this show was!

Svenja Jung is amazing in her double role as twin sisters, always on point in her acting. Sometimes powerful, other times more emotional. She's like the cherry on top of a well done production. The beautiful score combined with those stunning pictures made my eyes water literally in every episode.

I'm not a fan of the revue or burlesque shows, but how they put this piece on screen is excellent. Overall a decent cast with Svenja being the Star of the Show without a doubt. Also worth mentioning is Heino Ferch who played the father in an astonishing way, proving his acting talents once again.

I binged this show within 2 days, its beautiful. Give it a try, even if its just for Svenja, probably the biggest talent in Germany right now.

I loathe burlesque but this was well done and I do like dancers and dancing but anyone who likes this sort of thing it would be very enjoyable and appreciated.

The story rests on stasi Germany when the east was separated from the west and that wall was up, tearing families, friends, lifestyles and people apart, all in the name of political madness, as usual.

Very nice actors, all doing a good job. This is a bit of a plot that might be easy to give away but basically it's about twin sisters torn apart as babies by the separatism of the wall and how they eventually accidentally meet in their late 20's.

It's an easy look at the horrors of the stasi and an entertaining one but well worth the watch despite it dragging a bit at times.
