Bar jeder Vernunft, Mirror tent theatre in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Germany.
Bar jeder Vernunft is a theatre inside a Jugendstil mirror tent built in 1912 in the Netherlands as the Danse Paleis, a seasonal ball and dance tent for seaside resorts in Flanders and the Netherlands. It was shown at the 1930 World Exhibition in Antwerp, later went out of fashion, and was bought by producer Ueli Hirzel in the early 1980s. The audience sits at small tables or in boxes and can also eat during the show.
