MENSCH
MEIER


Theater Des Universums — Embarking on a transformative project at the pulsating heart of Berlin nightlife, our Ram Schakl creative collective reimagined the dance floor at the iconic Mensch Meier club during the challenging times of the pandemic.

Our mission? To craft a dance floor masterpiece that embraced every soul – whether a lone adventurer lost in solo rhythms or a jubilant crowd bursting with energy. The goal was simple: make it look timeless, as though passed down through generations, repurposed with love to entertain across the ages.

We wove a narrative of an eccentric theater conductor from 1918, envisioning him helping his father build the room beam by beam, intricately engraving each detail by hand. As the boy grew, he became part of the essence of the building, maintaining it through years of shows and culture. Nature eventually reclaimed the space, with ivy, birds, and a dreamlike conductor living amidst the memories.

Walking down the stairs, encircling the DJ booth's ornate cage, you should feel the layers of history and love for craftsmanship. We aimed to evoke the essence of preservation in a timeless dance floor, one that wraps around guests with the warmth of memories.

If you've had the pleasure of experiencing this space during its time at Mensch Meier, it's now passed on, forever a memory. We'd love to hear if you left your mark on its walls, contributing to the shared history of this unique dance floor.

As we reflect on the magic this space brought us, we hope you enjoyed it too.

From Ram Schakl
With love
