    one more Anita Berber [during her days at Weisse Maus Cabaret] …she performed here until she smashed an empty champagne bottle on a patron’s head. Berber had a devoted following because she enacted something other then Naked Dances, she recreated her disturbing sex and drug-induced fantasies. These nude dance-dreams were executed with a chilling realism and activated by dark,metatrophic impulses. When harangued by drunken spectators, Berber had been known to spit brandy on them or stand naked on their tables, dousing herself with wine while simultaneously urinating.  text by Mel Gordon from Voluptuous Panic
