There are some theater and dance companies that make me wish to have pursuit other career options. Since I am way too old to become a dancer I have to limit myself to watching their incredible perfomance and perhaps review them. One special company which is such a pain to watch because they are so incredibly good that you wish you could be on stage with them is the Costanza Macras ensemble Dorky Park. If you never heard of them and wish to experience my unbareable craving to be involved, they are playing their new piece Megalopolis this weekend at Schaubühne. More pictures, a trailer, a summary and details after the jump.

This coming Friday another big event is going to take place at Stattbad Wedding. A multitude of artists, performers and musicians will come together to celebrate the golden youth. While one will will color the old swimhall with a stream of spirited and uplifting images, the other will improvise some grass roots electronic music on self designed analog instruments. While one will present a glamorous Electro Pop Extravaganza, the other will do a dance performance interpreting the night’s theme La Jeunesse Doree. And there will be lots of DJs and live concerts. What more could you wish for? Details after the jump.

Isabel Mastache
Did you noticed how fashion shows are generally always dead serious? Can you imagine the relief when seeing the runway show of Isabel Mastache shown above? She was presenting her hilarous menswear collection during last weeks Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week at the shows of El Ego which is like the young designers program. Sadly, I did not see her show as I did not have a press pass on the first day. And all the young designer shows were on the first day so I missed out on all the fun. What I saw of the rest of the Fashion Week was mostly old boring designers with glamorous dresses with Swarovski beads and lots and lots and lots of fur (what is wrong with these Spaniards?) and a handsome Jon Kortajarena presenting for almost every show.
More pictures of Isabel Mastaches crazy collection, further impressions of other shows I’ve seen and 3 reasons why Madrid Fashion Week will continue to have a hard time being taken serious in the international fashion world after the jump.

Honestly, I didn’t want to got there. To the new Tresor. It would be sad, so very very sad, visiting a club that was part of your teenager life, a place where you spend endless nights, met friends for one night or longer. Some did stay, some of them I never saw again. All these memories..The last time I went to the old Tresor, I felt so weird, like a freak. The people had changed so much, they all seem to look the same and they didn’t like my looks, I could tell that. Too alternative to them. Where did all the good people go? The tolerant people I was used to hang out with, the people from the early days. Or was it me who had changed? I couldn’t figure out. However, when I was invited to the Axolotl Roadkill event, I thought I should have a look, I mean, after all these years..Axolotl Roadkill is a bestseller, written by the talented director-daughter Helene Hegemann, when she was only aged 16!

Last night Axl Rose rose to new fame at Last Days of Axl in the Appartement. Familiar faces mixed with new ones and people had a great time on the dancefloor with special Last Days Cocktail-Shots and surrounded by Axl pictures. But two questions remain unsolved: Why do people at Last Days love to stick the decoration basically to all body parts and what do they use it for after taking it home? And who were those guys dressed as Axl and Slash? Watch the photos after the jump.

How I love supper clubs. This is already the third one we have been featuring here and if you asked me, the more the better! It has always been a unique, delicious and fun experience and a fantastic alternative to a regular visit to a restaurant.
The Lotería Supper Club is situated in Friedrichshain near Boxhagener Platz. We were lucky to be invited to the first dinner they made and it already made a very good impression! We hit the evening off with a tasty and strong Margarita, so I was practically drunk after the first 5 minutes and it kept on going like that for the rest of the night, as we constantly got our wine glasses refilled with every one of the 6 courses. The menu had a Californian and Mexican style including quesadillas, a pumpkin soup, a warm roasted beet salad with spinach, orange, and pickled red onions, a lime-pomegranate granita, silky soft and tasty lamb shanks as the main dish and a Mexican chocolate panna cotta. Yummie!
The next date for the Lotería Supper Club will be on Saturday March 6 at 19h. If you don’t want to miss out on this you should make your reservation now, as the supper club is limited to 10 guests. More impressions of our dinner after the jump.

TONIGHT!
Take me down to Paradise City
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
I want you to please take me home, yeah!
Axl Rose is a legend, a rockstar, a fallen hero, thousands all over the world used to copy his style, the old songs of Guns ‘N’ Roses, the melodies of “Paradise City”, “Don’t Cry”, “You could be mine” and “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” remain unforgettable. Guns ‘N’ Roses recently released an album, Chinese Democracy, but to be honest, it’s the young Axl who rocked me with his looks! Not really rock but hedonistic 80s and electronic tunes tonight at Last Days of Axl. Let him be your star for one night only! Entry is 6 Euro, if you manage to pass the doorman! The Flyer after the jump.

During the summer Amüsemong is located in the circus of that quite famous bar at the Spree (the one that is about to celebrate its closing for the fourth time). Amüsemong is proud to offer you tonight an acrobatic stage show, performance artists and singers, basically like in a real circus. More after the tag:

Viva Espana! (No idea how to put that tild over the n…) As a little birthday present to myself I treated myself with a little short trip to Madrid. And while I went to art fairs and fashion shows during the days I spent my nights at the best parties in town. Once again I was overwhelmed by how much the spanish party people love to be photographed. Some Spanish party fun to spice up cold Berlin after the jump:
