Why see Anita Berber Is Dead!?

Step back in time...

Be transported back to the Roaring Twenties of Germany, 1929, in this exciting new production by Independent Shakespeare Co. Based on a true story, it'll introduce you to the enigma that was Anita Berber, a stunning - and scandalous - burlesque performer who live and, ultimately died, during one of the most turbulent yet creative times the world has seen. Get up close and personal in this immersive performance - on only for ten nights!

Anita Berber is Dead! follows Anita's struggle to create a new mode of expression that defied artistic boundaries, as well as creating an identity free of constraint. Defiant, bold, and extreme, her work reached its apotheosis in the stunning, strange, and ultimately doomed creation: the "Dances of Lust, Horror and Ecstasy" which saw her banned from the concert halls of Germany and Austria.
