Help me make it through the night!

Some while ago Liv told me about Gob Squad. A british/ German performance group, who were gonna make different performances around Berlin, and she recommended that I should go and see one. So last night her and I went to see them in their performance "Room Service" about 4 people who are alone in a hotel room and has too do all sorts of things to keep awake.
It took place in a conference room in a Hotel, where there were 4 televisions showing what happened in the different rooms. It was a 5 hour long performance and a mix between manuscript and improvisation that also includes the audience, and you can come and go as you like within the 5 hours.


One of the things I really liked was when one of them started to use the bin and toilet as pets that he had to feed, or when they made simultaneously music videos to famous songs.


Because I was really tired I thought that I might stay there a couple of hours, but it was so great that we ended up being the for almost 4. And if my eyes hat not been down to my knees, I would have stayed to the end.

All the fall colours matches my klapprad but not my bare legs

Yes it is true. Today I wore short. We are in the end of september and I biked around in my summershorts and shirt. Everyone was looking really summerlike, and I could not imagine any better way to spend the day than outside. Therefore I asked Liv if she wanted to go together to the Turkish marked, where we ended spending the afternoon, shopping for dinner, listening to music and just talking while sitting in the sun and enjoying the last sun of "summer".

Renovierungsbedürftig!!

Last night I went with Liv and her roommate to this Theater in Prenzlauer Berg who are closing because they could not extend their lease, as the owners want to renovate the building. Therefor they had a 60 hour long performance going on this weekend, and even made a sleeping area if you wanted to stay there the entire time.
First we saw a performance that told the history of the house. How it use to belong to a Jewish family who sold tobacco and thereafter became a sewing factory, up til the fall of the DDR.
My favorite part was when a bunch of old seamstresses told about their daily work at the factory.
After the first performance there were some poetry slam that we decided to stick around for, and although my German skills needs to be a little improved for listening the really fast rap, it was really great and funny.

Such a shame that they now have nowhere to go!!
