New digs and a bit of theatre

A few days ago my CS host told me about a yearly event that happens in the local theatre's.  All the local productions perform a segment of their respective show and you can tour as many as you want in one night. It happens all over the city, costs 15euro  and that includes an unlimited metro pass for the night. And you can buy the complete ticket pass from a metro ticket machine, very convenient. I really wanted to see one that was described as an underwater opera: Purcell's Dido And Aeneas. It was performed in an art nouveau swimming pool called Stadtbad Neukölln. Amazing place but we didn't get in as it was packed when we arrived.

On the way to the theatre event.
So instead we went to a nearby theatre and saw a group of students who were performing various dances, ok. Then we went to see a Brazillian dance troupe. Very interesting but a bit too high brow for me, it finished well with a pyramid of performers, some of whom were in wheelchairs.



Today was a day to walk around the new neighbourhood after moving in to the temporary apartment. On the top floor of a great old building with a good view of the street. This is the building across from me.

A few steps out the door is Gorlitzer Park. Today was spent carrying my suitcase up 5 flights of stairs and then relaxing in the park surrounded by music, hibachi's and dogs chasing Frisbee's. Thankfully those didn't combine.... I got a little bit of a sunburn today, the forecast says 25 degree's on Saturday :)
