Bar Jeder Vernunft

The next night, Edith meets Marlene Dietrich at a small local bar known as Jeder Vernunft. Marlene has a night off from performing and decided to spend it getting drinks with Edith whom she sees a lot of her younger self in. Marlene was a wild spirit who loved the stage. She liked to please everyone and would often animate herself through different genders and identities. She experimented with costumes that included knickers, satin collars, top hats, and lamé cuffs. She loved to play around with different ways to personify sex to the world. Edith learned a lot from Marlene about embracing who you are and experimentation in order to figure out yourself. Marlene and Edith also related through childhood trauma. Both of their parents tried to force them to be educated. Nevertheless, they both knew that that was not their paths in life.

In the Wilmersdorf neighborhood, Bar Jeder Vernunft is a venue with a tent, where old-time cabaret shows were presented. It has a Biergarten that makes it nice to see a summer sunset before the show. Staff bring drinks to tables under a marquee-style tent that was decorated romantically. Customers had the option of relaxing and dining rather than a rowdy bar or club scene. It has red velvet curtains with candlelights that reflect off many mirrors and represents the 1920's Kit Kat Klub bar. Some regular performers were Die Geschwister Pfister, Pigor & Eichhorn, Maren Kroymann, Katharine Mehrling, Anna Mateur, and Tim Fischer.
