For a long time I was more than just a member of the audience of the Volksbuehne. So I am kind of nostalgic when I think about its closing for the next half a year for restauration. On the other hand I’m really glad that one of my favorite theaters will re-open in April: The Prater at Kastanienallee. Additionally, they will build a giant amphitheater in front of the old lady. It will be the stage for some pieces from the antiquity that will get a new skin from Castorf and his entourage. To stay in touch online with the vibe of this intellectual institution the Volksbuehne now started its own blog. Don’t miss the goodbye parties on the weekend. More information after the jump.
