CABARET RODANTE IS BORN!!! : The Travelling/Rolling Cabaret

Cabaret Rodante on Friday, 29 August

Following six annual events at Madrid’s Casa de Campo, Cabaret Flotante continues to grow and transform. The land-based version of this colourful festival and collaborative party swaps the boats and water themes for terrestrial transport.

The desire to continue the party spirit of Cabaret Flotante, and to bring together the largest possible number of artists, drove the Cabaret Flotante group to broaden its horizons. The result: Cabaret Rodante.

It’s basically a TRAVELLING CABARET JAM SESSION where all artistic disciplines are welcome. It supports itself thanks to a band of excellent musicians (the hosts) playing live music and the participation of ALL MUSICIANS IN THE CITY who wish to bring along their instruments and take part in the festival.
