Nach meinen Tagen in Padua erschien mir Verona vor allem: voll. Halb Italien und Touristen aus aller Welt hatten sich auf den Weg gemacht, um der romantischen Fata Morgana von Romeo und Julia in der Casa Giulietta nachzuspüren und anschließend auf das tragisch umflorte Glück mit einem Aperol Spritz anzustoßen. Aber entlang der Etsch und […]
Padua – Anatomy of a City Unfortunately, I did not see the famous frescoes by Giotto. For the time of my stay, the limited access to the Capella degli Scrovegni was already fully booked. But the city has plenty of attractions to offer, not all of which need to be booked in advance. On one […]
The area around the Rialto Bridge was full of people. I meandered past a school class taking selfies and group photos in the middle of the bridge with lots of laughter and shouting. On the other side of the big canal I kept to the left until it got noticeably quieter. There sat Niandra, an […]

And certainly not the color of longing for a spiritual immaterial world, which often is associated with the color ‚blue‘.

Rot wie das Blut, das aus unseren Gesichtern wich, als Esther und ich in einem Cafe saßen und sie nach unten griff, um ihre Tasche, die sie unter den Stuhl gelegt hatte, an sich zu ziehen. Aber da war […]
Tamara und Sara. Die eine in Italien (Umbrien) geboren, die andere in Israel. Das erste Mal trafen sie sich in einem Workshop in Berlin und nun erarbeiten sie ein neues Stück in einem Capoeira-Trainingsraum in Talpiot, einem südöstlichen Vorort Jerusalems. Ende Mai wird das Stück im Machol Shalem Tanzzentrum gezeigt. Pigeon English under the pictures. […]
Imagine a place, where you leave the hotel room in the morning and are being blinded by the light. It’s hard to imagine these days, at least in Cologne, Germany, but that’s exactly why I want to remember it. Syracuse in Sicily, in summertime 2016. Of course we haven’t seen all places in beautiful Sicily, […]
