Anita Berber, pioneering dance performer extraordinaire, or violent thieving drug-addled lunatic? Why not both!?
Join us during our first live recording as we talk about the life and times of Anita Berber, the ultimate performance wunderkind of Weimar Berlin. There’s quite a bit bubbling up under the surface, and the inter-war peace feels pretty tenuous. Much like the era itself, her nihilist self-destruction and sexual decadence flickers brightly and briefly, leaving a vacuum for the horrors to come that we know all too well.
Recorded at the Comedy Cafe Berlin
Part 2 coming soon!
