THEATER: Ein Bericht für eine Akademie – Franz Kafka spielt im “Actor’s Gang” in Venice

When: Samstag, 7. August 2010 20:00

Vom Affen, der Rauchen und Saufen lernte und somit die Durchschnittsbildung eines Europäers erlangte-Der ehemalige Affe namens Rotpeter legt einer Akademie einen Bericht über seine Menschwerdung vor, der als Geschichte einer erzwungenen Assimilation und als pädagogische Satire verstanden werden kann. Der Gegenstand des Berichts ist aber nicht, wie von der Akademie gewünscht, die Erinnerung an das äffische Vorleben, sondern die Schilderung des Anpassungsvorganges. Eine tragische Komödie.

Gespielt von HP Vannoni Regie führt die nationale italienische Regiepreisträgerin Elena Vannoni.

Das Stück spielt am Fr., den 6. und Sa., den 7. August um
jeweils 20 Uhr in der Actor´s Gang, 9070 Venice Blvd in Culver
City. Karten erhalten Sie zum Preis von $20 / $15 und können per email zoodistrict@gmail.com oder per Telephon 323-464-3375 bestellt werden.

“Hearing is a sensation for which you need your whole body. And my whole life is about sound. It’s what makes me tick as a human being. There’s sound absolutely everywhere. You have to listen.” (Evelyn Glennie, Touch the Sound)

This series of documentaries deals with music and the people who dedicate themselves to it. The impact of the music on their lives may vary, but it always runs deep. Through different approaches, the directors and protagonists declare their love of rhythm and sound while providing interesting insights into the ways of life of musicians.

All films are in German with English subtitles.

In cooperation with the Austrian Cultural Forum.

  Lawyers without Rights; The Fate of Jewish Lawyers in Germany after 1933. A traveling exhibition of the German Federal Bar with the support of the Jewish Museum of Florida the German Consulate General in Miami and The Law Offices of Baur & Klein, P.A. At the start of 1933 over 3.000 of the practicing lawyers in Prussia, nearly 30%, were Jewish or of Jewish descent; in Berlin over 1,700, which is more than half. This exhibition charts the life of twenty such German lawyers from 1933 through the years of Hitler’s regime and – for those who survived – beyond. Of this small sample one took his own life and three murdered in concentration camps. The rest escaped to England, America or Palestine. You are invited to celebrate the opening of this exhibition on: June 28, 2010 at 7:00 pm at the Jewish Museum of Florida located at 301 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, FL, 33139. With special Guest’s presentation: Klaus Ranner, German Consul General in Miami and JR Dr. Norbert Westenberger, Vice President German Federal Bar. Exhibition will be open from June 28 to July 25, 2010, Tuesdays – Sundays 10am – 5pm. For more information see attached invitation.

  Bitte weisen Sie Freunde und Verwandte und andere Reisende aus Europa darauf hin! Die elektronische Einreisegenehmigung in die USA (ESTA) muss jetzt von jedem Reisenden (auch Kindern) zwingend spätestens 72 Stunden vor der Einreise eingeholt werden. Andernfalls ist zu befürchten, dass die Fluggesellschaften die Reisenden von der Beförderung ausschließen. Die Fluggesellschaften müssten sonst u. U. ein hohes Zwangsgeld zahlen. Bitte weisen Sie auch darauf hin, dass ESTA derzeit noch gebührenfrei ist. Alle gebührenpflichtigen Angebote sind bis auf weiteres reine Geschäftemacherei.
