Zs + Cotton Ponies@ Schokoladen

Zs // was founded in 2000 and has existed as a trio, sextet, and quartet, now touring in a new formation with Sam Hillmer (tenor sax and pedals), Ben Greenberg (electric guitar and electronics), Tony Lowe (electric guitar) and Ian Antonio (percussion and electronics).
While Zs' music has been variously categorized as no-wave, brutal-prog, and post-minimalist, it is primarily concerned with making music that challenges the physical and mental limitations of both performer and listener. Manipulating extended technique, unique instrumental synthesis, and near telepathic communication, Zs aims to create works that envelop the listener and unfold sonically over time, evoking unspoken past, present, and future rites and ritual.

Vous avez dit auberge de jeunesse à Berlin ? La réputation des auberges de Berlin n'est plus à faire ! Helter Skelter Hostel : c'est le nouveau nom pour l'ancien Clubhouse Hostel. Sa situation centrale, son ambiance agréable, ses chambres complètement redécorées, et surtout son équipe internationale des plus amicales, font de cette auberge l'endroit idéal pour passer la nuit en toute simplicité et à un tarif avantageux... et tout ça au coeur de Berlin ! L’auberge de jeunesse Helter Skelter de Berlin est un concentré de l’ambiance berlinoise sur 2 étages.

THE NAME OF THIS GIRL IS OLIVIA ANNA LIVKI is a one-woman-show (no other musicians on stage but myself). For the first time ever, the show brings both my musical and visual mind-dimensions together, into a complete Livki-universe. It tells the stories of eight smart maverick-girls: Fat mice on a wheel in a cage. The invisible intern, the smiling student 4063989. Run the wheel without jumping off, or going anywhere. She can’t believe that’s the only way. She refuses to believe that crystal-therapy will help against her sleeping-disorder. That Satan is 33 and lives in Tel-Aviv. She hates being google-mapped.

Two Streets in Berlin

Submitted by editor.provokat... on Wed, 06/09/2010 - 18:46.

by Jim Hudson

Karl-Marx-Allee. This two-kilometer-long triumphal route of overbearing, neo-classical buildings owes more to Moscow than Mitte. The street has all the architectural subtlety of a wedding cake. At one end, two nine-storey high-rises, each topped with a tower, form an imposing gateway completely at odds with Berlin's low-rise feel.

Hansaviertel. Contemporary houses and blocks of flats sit among trees and landscaping at the beautiful Tiergarten's northern edge. Built for the 1957 Interbau, this street is a virtual who’s-who list of modernist architectural design, including Oscar Niemeyer. In fact, Hansaviertel features this world-famous Brazilian architect's only building in Germany. Architecture students flock there daily to photograph each other in its huge V-shaped support columns.

Tom Cruise Verboten!

Submitted by editor.provokat... on Wed, 06/09/2010 - 18:46.

By Calvin Keogh

There’ll be no jumping the couch for Tom Cruise this summer. The hapless star came to Berlin to scout locations for his latest movie project, ‘Valkyrie’, a dramatization of Germany’s most famous wartime conspiracy, only to be officially banned from shooting at federal government locations.

The actor bears a striking resemblance to plot ringleader Claus von Stauffenberg, who in 1944 carried a briefcase bomb into Hitler’s ‘Wolf’s Lair’ bunker. Although several officers were wounded or killed, the Führer escaped with only a burst eardrum and entertained Mussolini later that day.

With few in a position to confront the Nazi regime, the conspirators were honored as martyrs following the war and attempts to relate their story are understandably sensitive. “It’s bound to be rubbish”, was the reaction of Stauffenberg’s 72-year-old son, “he should keep his hands off my father”.

The Hollywood connection seems less of an issue, however, than Cruise’s beliefs. While Stauffenberg Junior finds it merely “unpleasant” that a Scientologist is involved, the German Defence Ministry justifies its ban on the grounds that Cruise “publicly professed to being a member of the Scientological cult”.

Berlin 20.03.2010

A review by Juanjo Cubero Santos

In the 1970's Frank Sinatra told us that he wanted to wake up in New York, the city that never sleeps. Now, however, I am quite sure that if John Kander, and Fred Eb, (the original writers of the song) or even Frank Sinatra himself, were to spend a week in Berlin, they would be anxiously retitling the song "Berlin, Berlin".

Cinema Legend Heads Berlinale Jury

Werner Herzog is a German cinema legend, and yet he has received little recognition in his home country in recent years. Now the director is finally back in Germany, where he is heading the jury at this year's Berlin International Film Festival. As usual, the maverick filmmaker is doing things his way.
