Carambolage

For a long time, the group of the Bolzano cabaret scene looked around for its own venue. It had already organised several theatre productions such as "Wilhelm Tell" and "Frank und Stein" with great success, as well as five editions of the summer cabaret festival Cabarena in the courtyard of the Museum of Modern Art. So the desire for a venue of their own was only understandable. Finally, the group found what they were looking for. The tubular vaulted cellar of a recently vacated hardware store in the old town of Bolzano, Silbergasse 19, proved to be the ideal structure. On 10 May 1996 the cabaret theatre Carambolage was officially launched. The founding members are Gabi Veit (president from 1996 to 2008), Erwin Egger, Günther Gramm and Manfred Schweigkofler.
