FLEETING BABYLON

FEBRUARY 17-22, 2026

From 1818 to 1933, Germany entered a political, economic and cultural era known as the Weimar Republic. During this dynamic period, music, film, architecture and art embraced modernity, tinged with post-war abandon and unhinged creativity. Movements such as Bauhaus captivated the design world, and artists like Otto Dix, Käthe Kollwitz, Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill, Fritz Lange and Marlena Dietrich flourished in a radically expressive environment.

And the epicenter was BERLIN.

This 6-day, 5-night immersion in the Weimar Era puts the people and places of this vibrant time front and center, celebrating a brief, yet glorious moment that ended with the rise of the Third Reich.

“I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking."

– Christopher Isherwood, Goodbye to Berlin
