So, since Tarelle asked me to, I uploaded a picture into my profile.
Where was it taken, guess?
Clue: the city has something common with me.

Culture vulture
I am a bit sorry to push nanaimo's previous post (read it! quick! it's so nice!) a bit further down on the page...but I have some bits that I would like to share with you since a long time - especially because 50% of our active bloggers have no real option in the near future to immerge in the beauties of theater and I would like to show these to compensate them :-)
The first one dates back quite a long time - we've seen it on stage about a year ago with tarelle. When I have accidentally seen a advertisment that one of my favourite actress*will be on stage in London, I kept nagging tarrelle so efficiently that he managed to get two great seats for us on the side balcony, just next to the stage. (Thanks so much for that!) The play was Tennessee William's (whom I like very much) Glass menagerie and she is seen talking about it in this video (from min 35:00 approximately). Awesome.
The second is a very recent one, a Peter Handke play that we've seen last Friday. Very repetitive and catharsis-less stuff: loads of actors crossing the stage in various costumes and creating various situations: like if you would be sitting in a café of a busy town-square, looking out. Hm. For that much money we could have even had a decent dinner in that café :-) It was quite interesting, though.
The third one never happened, at least not for me: if I had looked at the available programmes more attentively, I could have seen my idol on stage, who was performing just next door to us: Pina Bausch, choreographer and founder of Tanztheater Wuppertal, (one of the best contemporary dance companies) actress of Fellini and dancer of Almodovar. Just to give you a taste here is "Le sacre du printemps" from Stravinski and a small extract of the big classic, Café Müller. These were the two that they've danced in London last week. Other parts of the latter piece can be found here. I hope you like it. (It's not evident...)
*nana, do you remember her in "All that jazz"? She also plays in Titus :-)

Present
I'm glad to see that Tarelle is back, and still in the Christmas spirit :).
Dear Tarelle, here is your very-very belated birthday present. This is one of the wisdoms I like the most and I had a hard time to learn myself. Sorry for the clumsy translation. For compensation, I added one more water-picture.
I hope you like it.

63., Of waiting for the things
To wait, with the patience of an angel and a saint, for the things – people, ideas, conditions – which belong to you, find you. Not to rush toward them, not to make a step, not to urge them with a word, with a move to come. Because certain people, ideas, conditions which belong to your life, personality, your physical and spiritual fate, are always on their way to you. Books. Men. Women. Friendships. Revelations, truths. All these are on their way toward you, flowing slowly, and one day you will have to meet. But you shall not flurry, or hurry their advancing. If you rush toward them, you might miss what is important and belongs to you. Wait, with all your might, carefully, with all your fate and life.

Birthday alert!
yes, yes: we have another baby to celebrate - he is slightly heavier than Péter and Konstantin put together, but he is merely 106times older! Tarelle is getting older on paper but he is still far from starting to suspect: because as Wilde says "The old believe everything; the middle aged suspect everything: the young know everything". So he knows for example that chocolate is GOOD for you, n'est-ce pas? :-) (here is some virtual chocolate for the big day...maybe there will be some real one along the way?)So, all things nice and wonderful and happy to my Chéri!
(and another quote just as a post scirptum:"The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age" but this is only for women, age looks good on men, sooo not fair!)

BIG news!
So here he is: Péter has arrived on the 1st of February! (What a shame to put post it here with such a delay - nana, what have you been doing since? :-D)
*and let me express my anxiousness over the fact that the percentage of male bloggers has risen abruptly in the past few months! Come on everybody! Spread the XX spirit! :-)
Happinness and health and all good things to everybody involved!!!*
