cremona

where did all the money come from?

and then…

you walk by this text.

only in italy

*liquid chocolate and crisps for lunch*tortellini with butter and sage for dinner*double order of the creme caramel of the house(i even asked for the recipe)

summertime

 

tonight we are changing the clock. one hour less of sleep. but more light. in israel they already did it. and yesterdays spring feeling is already gone. today internal and external rain. but still, the day wasn’t too bad after all. good night. 

on this stage pavarotti got married. go figure.

28/3

 

today started in the bath. with a blow up airplane. i could hardly move from yesterdays performance. dancing on a stage where the floor is on a 5% diagonal is a challenge for the body, to say the least. i had my homemade granola& fresh raspberries for breakfast. then we went to ravena, where spring is in the air and i spent my afternoon getting tipsy on a piazza. tired and slightly preoccupied. but what’s new.

my companion is having a bath. such a waste of water, but a way to survive for broken bodies.

all in one room

someone was indecisive when designing this room. psychedelic.

hou ik ook van

…dode bloemen, els.

i feel like going to the movies. all this tour. and this sign in fürth made it even more inviting.
however, it can wait.
this night i ate in the same restaurant as yesterday night. our waitress was probably around 80, and reminded me so much of my grandmother, and the place even smelled like it did in her house. it was nostalgic. and tasty. sourkraut and antipasti again!

useless facts

(picture by amina husberg)

 

usually, i never do those list thingies. so here is an exception, for you fru a! the rules are to write down eight facts about yourself/or habits, and then to challenge another eight people. i doubt i have 8 people to challenge, so i might discard this specific part of the game…

1. i have sort of a fetish for smell, i love to smell most things i touch, if it is a package of milk in the supermarket, dirty/clean clothes, plastic bags, books. i tend to think that my sense of smell is very strong, i can usually determine who in the company lost clothes in the studio/on stage by smelling it.

2. i only enjoy to eat popcorn if i can dip them in ketchup.

3. i like to be slapped in the face, for real &hard, but while play fighting.

4. i got rid of my TV in 2001 and i strongly believe it made me a happier person.

5. i sometimes had dreams that happened in reality afterwards.

6. finding thrown away treasures on the street is a little hobby of mine.

7.i want to learn how to grow my own vegetables.

8. id like to believe i am on optimistic person, but also quite dramatic and fearful. once i start crying, it is very hard for me to stop. and it happens, not too rarely….

well, if yaelian, karin and els would feel like doing the same, they can hereby feel invited!

uplifting

this place is not forgotten however. bolzano is full of life. surrounded by mountains. bilingual. and i had saurkraut on my plate of antipasti. very tasty, go figure.

remscheid at its best

the city that god probably forgot.

after bath and before sleep

i forgot about port

but it was very nice to get slightly tipsy while eating chocolate cake, before the performance. bye fürth, it has been a pleasure!

@sophias

with my sweety in düsseldorf

such a beautiful theater.

shortbus

itzik loves playing a hairdresser. he makes yuko and i look like teenagers. that's another way to spend the time in the bus.

boring without the pictures

to illustrate this time... i will make it up soon enough, when i find some wireless net that doesn´t cost a fortune.

today the sun is shining. i think it is the first time i see the sun since i left israel. it does good.

yesterday we had dinner in a german winestübe. or however it is written. breaddumplings and white wine s0up. a tall glass of local beer. i was euphoric.

pixie and kater, happy birthday to both of you. i will try to reach you after my coffee.

a lovely day to you all!

associations

arriving to those cities that it seems like god forgot.
empty streets.
quiet cafés.
a little spring market on the square.
a movie theater showing ´benjamin button´ and brad pitt speaks german.
our hotel has this eastgerman touch to it. with a bathtub! high ceilings. i am sure there is a ghost story connected to it.

we are too early for the white aspargus. that was one of the typical german dishes yuko and i dreamt of eating. instead we went to the chinese-thai-japanes all in one imbiss. viel spaß.

and off we go

...to fürth. no one knows where this place is. i imagine a city somewhat similar like tierp. but i guess that is over exaggerated. we are praying for a bathtub in the hotel, yuko and i.

for the rest, i wish you all a good week!

update

# we are in bonn at the moment

#the weather is apparantely quite springy.

#i had a mini vacation in düsseldorf with sophia. amazing how one and a half day can feel so long (but not in the boring way)

#i had nightmares about helicopters and poisoned water

#tonight we have an early performance, bliss, which means more time to spend with friends from here.

#tomorrow another day in the bus.

#i started to read 'norwegian wood' by murakami. he caught me on the 2nd page.

#talking about murakami, düsseldorf has the biggest japanese colony in germany. so yesterday i went shopping japanese books for yuko. that is what i call choosing a book by its cover, i had no clue obviously what i was looking at, until i asked a very shy and polite japanese guy to recommend me something.

#i bought myself very silly heartshaped sunglasses.

#and last but not least; MY FAMILY IS COMING FOR A VISIT WHEN I COME BACK! this made my day!!!

ipod favorites

what would i do without my ipod on all those bus rides through europe?

these tracks are repeated alot: sam, as in samantha, pushit, house of cards, naci en alamo, saskia among others.

barbies

while touring in germany, finally i got the chance to meet my good old sophie, that i havn’t seen for 2 years. so much fun, such a great feeling…and we found those funny pictures from 2004, playing around with wigs and such. freakshow.

paparazzi

having coffee in ludwigsburg was also this lady. she was in her own bubble, making moaning sounds while eating her croissant, a chilly thursday morning.
