Elli, SO 361984

A visit to another world: that of transvestites, leather men, costume artists, and exotic tourists from around the world — a carousel that has been sounding through the nights of the Berlin SO 36 district for nearly fifty years. Hidden behind a grey, crumbling postwar facade near the Görlitz railway station in Kreuzberg lies "Elli's Bierbar." The proprietress, known to all as "Elli," recounts the origins and development of her establishment and introduces her long-standing clientele. Format: Originaltonhörspiel (documentary radio play).
