Libanon on Stage

Today I got something very special for you. It is of great importance for me. Since 2008 I am working for a social project called “Das Libanonprojekt”

by the Community of young Maltesers 

Its a yearly summercamp in the lebanon for disabled people.

To finance this project the Community of young Maltesers initiated a charity theatre called “Libanon on Stage” in 2005. This year we perform in 5 cities of Germany: Frankfurt am Main, Munich, Hamburg, Potsdam and Cologne.

This year live on stage: “Yvonne, Prinzessin von Burgund” by Witold Gombrowicz

“Yvonne? Who is Yvonne?”
Exacly this is the main theme of the play. Nobody knows Yvonne, even worse nobody wants to know Yvonne! She is inconsiderable, pale, just different! The play is about how society is incapable of coping with people being different.
It is black humored, sharp, merciless, but colorful, touching,funny and surely teaches everybody a lesson.

The director of this great play is the one and only Severin Hoensbroech!!!

You really shouldn’t miss an amazing, a little contemplative, wonderful and diverting afternoon in Potsdam.I should know since I’m going to be in it myself, so if you want to see me acting and simultaneously help handicapped people, by paying the entrance fee, you should definitley come!

Sleeping Beauty

This is going to be a little different than all the other events I have recommended to you.

Since i was dancing ballet for 15 years and I am still very much into it I love seeing ballet shows sometimes.

There is one coming up soon in the Deutsche Oper Berlin, which you shouldn’t miss. If you like ballet the “Sleeping Beauty” won’t disappoint you . I myself danced this ballet twice with my balletschool, in a so called “grand ballet”.

Don’t these facinating movements move you as well?

Cinema Experience

Hey everyone,

the following video clip shows the trailer of the film ” Changeling”. I really enjoyed the film, thats why i  recommend it to all of you. Sure it is very emotional, not only because it is a true story, but also because it is well acted and therefore very intoxicating.

Clint Eastwood directs Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich in a provocative drama based on actual events: Changeling. In the film, Christine Collins’ ( A. Jolie) prayers are met when her kidnapped son is returned. But amidst the frenzy of the photo-op reunion, she realizes this child is not hers. Facing corrupt police and a skeptical public, she desperately hunts for answers, only to be confronted by a truth that will change her forever.

You should watch it!!!
