There is theater that can be like a conversation. Intimate, mature, interesting and quite impossible without the dialogue partner. The piece I am going to recommend to you is all about that. A friend of mine who had the chance to visit the rehearsels told me: „It’s incredible! There is a pink human ball sitting in a bunch of ikeaballs, talking about love! You have to see. it“. Well I am sure that one or two of you might want to get a peek of it. Take your chance this weekend. Dates after the jump.

What do Ben and Uschi have to do with the Pope you might ask yourself. Well, I have no fucking clue. But the three of theme came up with one hell of a cosy little cafe in Prenzlauer Berg. Hidden away in the lovely Winskiez (if you do not have a spouse and a child you might not be familiar with this area) Ben-Uschi und der Pabst offers plenty of comfortable couches and a giant tasty breakfast that not even I could finish (If you order the one for 2 it’s actually good enough for 4 people). For some more impressions and details go look after the jump.

…but this one - I have to admit - I really like. It’s small and cosy, the drinks are good and cheap, and the interior is done with a lot of love for details. It’s made by the same people that do the famous 8mm at Schönhauser and it goes by the name NEU Bar. The details after the jump.

I’m not entirly sure if a wooden notebook case is all that practical, but it sure as hell looks good! This wonderful design object is a product of Berlin-based interior and furniture designer Rainer Spehl who will open his new exhibition tomorrow at the A.D.Deertz shop at Kastanienallee as a part of the DMY Shop Day. Spehl has not only furnished this store but also other Berlin places like the well known boutiques Akif and Konk. You might also have stumbled across his benches and tables down the U-Bahnhof Alexanderplatz. More photos of his work and details about the exhibition after the jump.

Tomorrow night the Ballhaus Ost will turn up the heat when Molly Crabapple comes to town with her Sexy Circus Live Drawing Extravaganza that some of you might remember under the name Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School. If you are a fan of sexy Burlesque dancers and would like to practice your drawing skills this is a total must for you. And even if you just want to enjoy the Burlesque show you are welcome to join the circus. Another hot shot from a previous show and the flyer with details about Monday’s event go look after the jump.

Berlin locations are sometimes so cool that they don’t even care if there is a second thing in the city called the same way. So there is a club in Mitte called Rodeo Club, and there is also a mysterious dinner location in Prenzlauer Berg with the same name. And since I am more into secrets I would like to take a closer look at the latter after the jump.

While Heidi Klum did not even have the decency to mention the Berlin-based label Majaco when she had their dresses on her show we will not only mention them but also show you their brand new Fall 2009 collection Through The Looking Glass. The team of three young designers from Berlin isn’t even around for that long but already managed to be sold at the Galerie Lafayette which is quite the accomplishment. For more photos from the collection and more places to buy follow the white rabbit.
