The unfortunate part of no internet at “home”…I am a slave to Starbuck’s. I am at the mercy of THEIR bandwidth traffic no matter how much coffee I buy…they will still sell to other people who will sit online too! When *I* rule the galaxy, things will be different!!
Last couple days, photos have been easier to upload to FB. Sorry.
Rewind…The neue Nationalgalerie…the most brightly lit painting was of a shark! Then into the next room I was drawn to a gorgeous blue painting. THAT blue that makes my eyes go mwrAWr! As I go into the room, I hear All You Need Is Love to my right…I look and there’s a giant Double Elvis on the wall. A few rooms latter is an exquisite 3D painting that I set off the alarm to while taking pictures. Miss Julie was that evening. WITH English subtitles! It was staged as a movie set and choreographed such that actors that were not on camera were helping to set up the next scene or filming from another angle. There were REAL foley artists and a sound booth for the performers to do their voice overs. It was projected in real time above the set. Really interesting!
The next day was the Jewish museum. One of the buildings was designed by Daniel Libeskind. SOOOOOO many awkward angles and corners!! The museum was interesting…a little scary but the space was just neat! LULU was that night at the Berliner Ensemble…directed by Robert Wilson with music by Lou Reed. There were a few songs that were VERY Lou Reed! It was more entertaining than I expected.
Saturday was wandering the neighborhoods of East Berlin with Stefan and Jeremy. In the rain then I had to go grab my costumes to do a show in the woods…at 7:30p! SUPER fun…and rather unusual. Jeb from the San Francisco cast (…who lives in SC) was my Brad AAaaand we kicked it! But because it was outside and had rained, the stage was SUPER slippery…Floorshow in Converse!! LOVE!!!
It’s our last day in Berlin…I have a bag full of dirty clothes and no place to wash them, for less than 4Euro/load…I ought to pack but I’m meeting Todd, possibly Stefan & Jeremy and hopefully the new international member of my Enchanted Entourage at the East Side Gallery for photos!!!
