Dem Himmel so fern





Got to see one of my top Giessen students Lea Schneidermann present a brilliant piece she directed at the Hebbel am Ufer Theatre´s HAU 2.  In the audience was another one of my ex students from Giessen Christoph Bovermann looking very hunky and get you preggers manlische.
Lea´s strident happening was playfully titled Pixel Heroes oder Das Ende einer Dynastie.  Not only did Lea direct but she designed the elegant stage where special emphasis was put on every detail including coordinating the stylish costumes by her girlfriend Arnita Jaunsubrena(another one of my class of 2014).  Arnita also provided the dramaturgy.  With Alison Bechdel´s comic strip “Dykes to Watch Out For” as their spirit guide you really can´t go wrong.  So proud of Ms. Schneidermann and can´t wait to follow how her career develops as she has graduated from Giessen and is now a full fledge Berliner on the scene. WoW!
Was odd being at my old stomping ground of Hebbel am Ufer.  The place has become very Belgiumy and Dutch centered under its new artistic and managing directress Annemie Vanackere.  I´ll let you fill in all the Diana Ross dot dem i´s!
Was walking near Kleistpark and saw a strange phenom.  Two black men with AfroGerman versions of the dreaded hair bun style this time in coco puff and the dreadlock variete´.  ILL and Double ILL.
Got together with my Goethe Universität student Julian Sherer for drinkypoos at the ancient fagpub Anderes Ufer on the Hauptstrasse.  So divine seeing handsome, muscular big peniled  power top Julian who breaks hearts and bungholes everywhere he goes.  Julian was relaying some personal stories about Alexander Kluge the film director, philosopher and social scientist.
