No doubt, it’s an important day. It is the day we celebrate the German Reunification – the national holiday. This year is special. Even though we didn’t celebrate the 20th anniversary of that particular day, we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall (that always takes place in November). The importance of this day for Germany in general and for Berlin in particular was maybe the reason why over 1 Million people came out party at the Brandeburg Gate on Saturday. Bands were playing, it was also the finale of the Coca Cola Soundwave Discovery Tour (a talent contest for young bands that are given the chance to play in front of a HUGE crowd) so MTV broadcasted the party live!
It was a great, yet exhausting day! And impressive. Mad impressive!
Two gigantic puppets on a string had been making they’re way through the entire city in the days before October 3rd. They were telling a story about finding and losing people.The smaller puppet was the lost niece of the bigger puppet.
She approached the Brandeburg gate from the East:
And he approached it from the West:
After a long search they met in middle: right at the Brandenburg Gate!
It was touching. Especially for the kids that couldn’t stop staring! After that it was time to work.
I was rocking the “Just Dada It” shirt for the show and found some more Artschool love: Benny rocking the “Wrestle Eins” shirt!
Best preconditions to let the games begin:
The crew
Barbie moment (the pink was REALLY pink!):
Touch up:
Ma favorite colleague (who has a serious cellphone addiction!):
But he is the best in the world!
Secuuuuurity Andreas and production manager Pierre (he’s a lot taller than most people so they are prone to listen to whatever he says) as well as production manager Nathalie that cheated her way onto to picture
Bumped into my lovely colleague Palina backstage who was visiting us and had to laugh because we obviously favor the same Nike windrunner channeling some “Scarface photo wallpaper” appeal. You gotta love it!
And the most IMPRESSIVE shot of the evening: The stage shot looking down at over half a million people!
Memorable day!
