Three idiosyncratically macabre cabaret-restaurants in Monmartre each with its own grotesque portrayal of the afterworlds of Hell Heaven and Nothingness. From 1892 until 1954 three cabaret-restaurants in the Montmartre district of Paris captivated tourists with their grotesque portrayals of death in the afterworlds of Hell Heaven and Nothingness. Each had specialized cuisines and morbid visual displays with flashes of nudity and shocking optical illusions. These cabarets were considered the most curious and widely featured amusements in the city. Entrepreneurs even hawked graphic postcards of their ironic spectacles and otherworldly interiors. Cabarets of Death documents the dinner shows the character interactions with guests and the theatrical goings-on in these unique establishments. Presenting original images and drawings from contemporary journals postcards tourist brochures and menus Mel Gordon leads a tour of these idiosyncratically macabre institutions and grants us unique access to a form of popular spectacle now gone.
