Was reading up on the KitKatClub, Berlin today. Such an interesting mix of art, culture, music and adult entertainment. I know at least one person who visited the club, but it seemed to be more of a tourist visit rather than embracing the ethos of the place. It has an interesting and evolving history, including a novel written about the early years of the club. KitKatClub by Vigor Calma, to be added to my tbr! I'll let you know how I get on. You may or may not know that the name of the club is inspired by the amazing musical Cabaret with the extremely talented Liza Minnelli and softly spoken Michael York. Unforgettable choreography by Bob Fosse! The musical film was based upon Christopher Isherwood's semi-autobiographical stories about Weimar-era Berlin during the Jazz Age. Further additions to my tbr. I love these kind of links, connections, tributes to the past, threading a line through time and culture, showing us how similar we really are as human beings.
So few dancing clubs these days. I used to go clubbing every weekend, meeting and making friends on the way. Maybe the new movement to extricate ourselves from digital bondage and experience the reality created by our own senses will bring back the clubs??? People are now reading together in silence, maybe we can dance together in passion?
