Peaches does herself again. And this time not only in the theater. If you are not intruiged by a great musical perfomance with creatures from another planet and a strip legend from the last century showing her tits you might at least go easy and just enjoy her new music video. Everybody else who feels hardcore enough for this kind of amazing bullshit should definetly try to get their hands on one of the tickets for the upcoming shows at HAU this week. The new music video, some pictures of the show and the dates after the jump.

Pictoplasma
This week you shall not be surprised to see a lot of cute little monsters and quirky characters. No, it’s not the invasion of the new Pokémons, it’s the Pictoplasma Festival that brings a bunch of artists and illustrators to town that have specialized in character design. Of course this is by far not everything there is this week. See all the events after the jump.

I am looking at the story of the Wizard of Oz from a feminist perspective right now. Three men and a woman in search of what they are missing the most. While the men are seeking personal attributes (intelligence, emotions, courage), the woman’s wish is just to get away as quickly as possible from this foursome date and go home. Because in contrast to the men she is pretty happy with herself. Iana Salenko who is the lead dancer Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz ballet by the Berlin Staatsballet should have been somewhat less satisfied with her performance. But the versatile qualities of the four male dancers, the colorful costumes and the creative sets totally made up for that. This piece is definately worth a visit, even for people who are not into ballet. Some impressions and the play times after the jump. In the German version you can read a more detailed review.

People have the tendency to feel threatened by marketing. Maybe not so much when marketing becomes a surprising pleasure and definately not at all when the marketing object is not a big brand but an artistic project like a ballet. I was really surprised that our Berliner Staatsballett had the guts to just do something like a flash mob. In the conservative dance world this must be considered absolutely crazy. One hundred dancers from the company and from the ballet school gathered around at Berlin Hauptbahnhof last Thursday and showed a little choreography of their upcoming ballet: OZ – The Wonderful Wizard. Even if there are for sure better flash mobs out there I liked the end of it very much when the station speakerphone announced the departure for the train to Oz. This is the kind of magic that gives me goosebumps. But maybe I just read too many Harry Potter books. The video of the flash mob and the date of the first show after the jump.

This week is hardcore in many ways. A documentary festival movie (that’s hardcore if you prefer romcoms), a modern dance piece (that’s hardcore if you prefer going to the movies), a fashion fatwalk (no beauties and no skinny models here!), and a cabaret of art and hardcore fetish (that is hardcore probably for everyone…). The hardcore events (and some softcore as well) after the jump.

Anyone who has seen the movie The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean by Giuseppe Tornatore knows that a concert piano can be a gorgeous dance partner. Although the contemporary dance Chaconne will not have a moving piano on stage, we are thrilled to see the dancing interaction in between the charming dancer Yui Kawaguchi and the great jazz pianist Aki Takase. All the information you need and a funny little clip after the jump.

What should we think about a group of Austrians coming to Berlin and start to steal our Christmas trees from the streets. This is quite cunty. It is also upsetting that they jump in my favorite off-set theater to make a piece and then put the whole stolen Christmas trees on stage and claim that would be a stage set. No, Ms. Axthelm-Hoffmann, this is not a set design. That is called theft of public property. Fortunately, it’s starring the fabulous Nadine Dubois, which we already were allowed to shoot in front of the Volskbühne at that time pregnant and looking like a street whore. Otherwise, the piece would be not advisable. Or maybe yes? Christmas tree details after the jump.

Gentrification is a strange Dilemma. You want to have cool and interesting art and events going on around your neighbourhood, but at the same time you know that these are the things making your neighbourhood more expensive and a lucrative investement. Even if the whole Kreuzberg area is gentrificated already, there seems to be a last place which held up the Kreuzberg spirit. There are so many interesting things going on right know inside and around the giant Kreuzbergcenter that I made a little summary. You will find it after the jump (in German).

Okay, so shortly before Christmas there is not much going on in town as people seem busy preparing gifts, or fly back home to their family, or simply staying in because of the snow. But we wouldn’t be iHeartBerlin if we didn’t at least find one recommendable event per day. See our slim but swell selection after the jump.
UPDATE: Mobile Kino was moved to next year due to HBCs early Xmas break.

Why does nobody ever talk about female masturbation? Is this one of the last remaining female secrets of our generation? Well, most girls I know claim that they never do it (for a guy this seems hard to believe). Actually I know just one girl – I could call a masturbation mistress. She knows how to come, where to come and when to come (mostly several times a day). Another quite popular lady of Berlin’s nightlife who does not seem to be ashamed of this particular hobby is our lovely Canadian rockstar Peaches. So if you don’t want to miss the details you should definetly visit her upcoming musical Peaches Does Herself. Dirty details and a synopsis after the jump.
