But don’t worry – he hasn’t lived there long enough to lose his sense of humor. His unique comedic style is a mix of absurdity, social commentary, and some allegedly inappropriate jokes. And yes, Watermelon is his real last name, simply translated into English. Dima has performed in over 30 countries, including renowned locations like Gotham Comedy Club in New York, The Comedy Store in London, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Having lived in three different countries and visited over forty, Dima is no longer simply Ukrainian, but not quite European either. Stuck in this absurd cultural limbo, he finds laughter is his best coping mechanism. Information Source: Watermelon Comedy | eventbrite

8ight, Infinite Loop 01.–04. Feb 2025 on view 13–20H OPENING 31. Jan 2025, 18h Projektraum, Kunstquartier Bethanien | Mariannenplatz 2 | 10997 Berlin www.frei-raum.berlin | Instagram: frei_raum.berlin Free Entry Take action and engage in this local art project — check out our handpicked 8ight Collector’s box and make a donation to support us. Your contribution makes a meaningful difference. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/frei-raum-berlin-and-8ight German below The exhibition unites works by eight artists who have previously presented individual installations at frei-raum.berlin, each piece reflecting the central themes of systems and infinity through the progressive growth of acoustic sources. The works span from Daria Redkina's Air'Finite, where weather balloons transform into musical instruments through electro-mechanical systems, making air audible through breathing sounds and reed vibrations, to mergrim's 51.428571428571429, born from mathematical imperfection. Here, seven speakers arranged in a circle emit a loop every 5.14 seconds, producing an ever-evolving sonic landscape. This mathematical approach converges with Cem Çakmak's Beating Variations, 60-80Hz, where you physically experience bass frequencies through two modified floor panels, becoming part of the wave patterns generated through acoustic interference. The concept of cycles unfolds in Varoujan Chetirian's The Distance Between for five sound sources, where sound journeys through space and time. Echoes and reverberations bridge past and present, while archival voices and current field recordings from a decaying Armenian space center permeate the room. The Acoustic Heritage Collective's Notes on Narrow Backroads weaves a spatial narrative inspired by *Matsuo Basho's* travel writings through six sound sources. The installation creates a polyphonic landscape that shifts with every movement in the space. In Bells and Cannons, Özcan Ertek presents three large brass discs resonating with field recordings of church bells and cannon shots in endless sonic cycles. This rhythmic installation dialogues with Diaphonie_K∞ by Ernesto Longobardi and Anna Turina, where two Kodak Carousel projectors generate perpetual Red Yellow Blue (RYB) sound patterns, creating an ever-recurring choreography of light and shadow. Ani Samperi's Tears of Ice : an experiential process where water drips from melting ice in an inverted oil barrel onto a silver platter, manifesting transience through resonance and feedback. United in the Projektraum Kunstquartier Bethanien, these works will form an environment where each piece contributes to a larger system of meaning. The exhibition structure itself shall become a metaphor for infinity - not as an abstract concept, but as a tangible experience of cyclical processes, systemic interactions, and perpetual transformation.

ARTISTS #1: TEARS OF ICE by Ani Samperi (US) #2: BEATING VARIATIONS, 60-80Hz by Cem Çakmak (TR) #3: BELLS AND CANNONS by Özcan Ertek (TR) #4: DIAPHONIE_K∞ by Ernesto Longobardi (IT), Anna Turina (IT) #5: THE DISTANCE BETWEEN by Varoujan Chetirian (CH) #6: NOTES ON NARROW BACKROADS by Acoustic Heritage Collective (ES/DE) #7: 51.428571428571429 by mergrim / Takahisa Mitsumori (JP) #8: Air'Finite by Daria Redkine (UA) dt Die Ausstellung vereint Werke von acht Künstler:innen, die zuvor Einzelinstallationen in frei-raum.berlin präsentiert haben, wobei jedes Werk durch die progressive Erweiterung von akustischen Klangquellen die zentralen Themen der Systeme und Unendlichkeit widerspiegelt. Die Arbeiten reichen von Daria Redkinas „Air'Finite“, in dem elektromechanische Systeme Wetterballons in Musikinstrumente verwandeln, die durch die Vibration von Schilfrohr lebendige, atmende Klänge erzeugen, bis zu mergrims 51.428571428571429 , das aus mathematischer Unvollkommenheit entsteht. Hier erzeugen sieben Lautsprecher, kreisförmig angeordnet, alle 5,14 Sekunden einen Loop und schaffen eine sich stetig wandelnde Klanglandschaft. Dieser mathematische Ansatz verbindet sich mit Cem Çakmaks Beating Variations, 60-80Hz , bei dem man Bassfrequenzen durch zwei modifizierte Bodenplatten körperlich spürt und Teil der durch akustische Interferenz entstehenden Wellenmuster wird. Das Konzept der Zyklen manifestiert sich in Varoujan Chetirians The Distance Between für fünf Klangquellen, in denen Sound durch Raum und Zeit reist. Echos und Nachhall verbinden Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, während Archiv Stimmen und aktuelle Field Recordings aus einem verfallenden armenischen Raumfahrtzentrum den Raum füllen. Das Notes on Narrow Backroads des Acoustic Heritage Collective erschafft mit sechs Klangquellen eine von Matsuo Bashos Reiseberichten inspirierte räumliche Erzählung. Die Installation erzeugt eine polyphone Landschaft, die sich mit jeder Bewegung im Raum verändert. In Bells and Cannons präsentiert Özcan Ertek drei große Messingscheiben, die mit Field Recordings von Kirchenglocken zusammen mit Kanonenschüssen zu endlose Klang-Zyklen resonieren. Diese rhythmische Installation korrespondiert mit Diaphonie_K∞ von Ernesto Longobardi und Anna Turina, wo zwei Kodak-Carousel-Projektoren in ihrer maschinellen RotGelbBau (RGB) Klangmustern im Loop, eine immer wiederkehrende Choreographie aus Licht und Schatten erschaffen. Ani Samperis Tears of Ice : ein erlebbarer Prozess, bei dem tropfendes Wasser von schmelzendem Eis in einem umgedrehten Ölfass auf eine Silberplatte fällt und durch Resonanz und Feedback Vergänglichkeit manifestiert. Diese Werke bilden im Projektraum Kunstquartier Bethanien vereint eine Umgebung, in der jedes Einzelne zu einem größeren Bedeutungssystem beiträgt. Die Ausstellungsstruktur selbst wird zur Metapher für Unendlichkeit - nicht als abstraktes Konzept, sondern als greifbare Erfahrung zyklischer Prozesse, systemischer Interaktionen und fortwährender Transformation.

„3Schwestern3“ bringt Tschechows Drei Schwestern in die Tradition des Berliner Exilkabaretts – ein Raum der satirischen Schärfe, des Widerstands und der tiefen Reflexion. In dieser Neuinterpretation entfalten sich die Phasen der Emigration – Euphorie, Verleugnung, Trauer und Akzeptanz – durch die körperliche Präsenz und die Stimmen von sechs Schauspieler*innen, die mit Tanz und Gesang die inneren Konflikte der Exilerfahrung ausdrücken. Viele der Geschichten basieren auf den persönlichen Erlebnissen der Darsteller*innen, was der Inszenierung eine unverkennbare Authentizität und emotionale Tiefe verleiht. Unter der Regie von Lara A. Treichel verschmelzen Kabarett, Tanz und Musik zu einer kraftvollen Auseinandersetzung mit den Themen Verlust, Identität und Neubeginn. Die Inszenierung bewegt sich zwischen scharfsinnigem Humor und poetischer Tragik, lässt den Schmerz der Emigration in den Körpern der Darsteller*innen lebendig werden und stellt die Frage, was es bedeutet, im Exil neu zu beginnen. Premiere: 07.06.2024 Säälchen, Berlin Dauer: ca. 90 Minuten Sprache: Russisch und Deutsch Ein Stück, das die Geschichten und Emotionen der Emigration in all ihrer Tiefe aufgreift – und das Publikum in eine Welt voller Verlust und Hoffnung eintauchen lässt. Ort: Neue Bühne Friedrichshain, Boxhagener Str. 18, 10245 Berlin Regie, Choreografie, Idee: Lara A.Treichel Musik: Roman Stolyar Bühnenbild, Kostüme: Aleksandra Kharina Sound- und Videodesign: Grigorii Gromov Lichtdesign: Daniil Moskovich Cello: Michael Treichel Darsteller*innen: Maxim Avdejev, Maria Beatty, Natasha Chernikova, Antonina Gerai, Lara A.Treichel, Michael Treichel, Maria Yasinover. Produktion: Kinetic.Forest Produzentin: Maria Lupandina Regieassistenz: Ksenia Torskaia Bühnentechnink: Torsten Eissrich «3Schwestern3» – кабаре в изгнании: художественное исследование утраты и нового начала. Этот спектакль переносит «Трёх сестёр» Чехова в атмосферу берлинского кабаре эпохи изгнания – место сатирической остроты, сопротивления и глубоких размышлений. Здесь фазы эмиграции – эйфория, отрицание, горе и принятие – передаются через танец, музыку и голоса шести актёров. Реальные истории участников придают постановке трогательную искренность. Под руководством Лары А. Трaйхель кабаре, танец и музыка сливаются в мощное исследование тем потери, идентичности и нового начала. Постановка балансирует между острым юмором и поэтической трагедией, оживляя боль эмиграции в телах актеров и задавая вопрос, что значит начинать заново в изгнании. Премьера: 7 июня 2024 года, Säälchen, Берлин Длительность: около 90 минут Язык: русский, немецкий Спектакль, который рисует истории иммиграции глубокими эмоциональными красками, погружая зрителей в мир утраты и надежды. Режиссёр и хореограф, автор идеи: Лара А. Трaйхель Музыка: Роман Столяр Сценография и костюмы: Александра Харина Звукорежиссура и видеодизайн: Григорий Громов Дизайн освещения: Даниил Москович Виолончель: Михаэль Трaйхель В ролях: Максим Авдеев, Мария Битти, Наташа Черникова, Антонина Герай, Лара А.

About the Show: Studying English at the university in Iran is an odd choice which can turn one into the black sheep of the family. Pursuing the same subject in Germany is another level of weirdness! From Tehran to Reeperbahn is the first special by the Iranian comedian, Shahin Asmari, who tells his stories of how he decided to move to Germany for his master studies and how Trump's travel ban for Iranians paved the way for him to plan a longer stay in Germany, becoming a comedian to keep his sanity in the depressing winters of north Germany. The show focuses on how a person from a closed up country like Iran, feels as an expat living at the heart of Europe, namely Germany, and how different, yet the same the two countries are. The process of integration, learning the language, adopting to the German culture and the blunders on daily basis are the stories which will make you laugh all through the night. The show is well suited for expats living in Germany, and Germans who would like to delve into the mind of immigrants who face the dilemma of identity after getting citizenship, being neither fully German, nor of the nationality they used to possess. About the Comedian: Shahin Asmari, a 90s kid, born and raised in Iran , has been doing comedy for the past three years, both as a comedian and as a host, running the only weekly English comedy in Hamburg i.e. Burning Mic Comedy Show. On the pursuit of becoming a full time comedian, Shahin started with the first open mics right before the pandemic (perfect timing, yeah!). However, since the start of 2022, he has been one of the active members of the comedy scene in Hamburg by running shows and performing in three languages. Apart from Hamburg, Shahin has also done shows outside of Hamburg inside and outside of Germany: Paris, Milan, Aarhus, Vienna, Budapest, Barcelona, Munich, and Berlin to name a few actually. He has also been the opener of some big stars like Max Amini and Negah Amiri. Information Source: Burning Mic Comedy Show | eventbrite

The intercultural trio guides an immersive and introspective sound journey by combining the soothing melodies of the acoustic cello, the contemporary and psychedelic sound sculptures of the effected and processed electric guitar and the grounding frequencies of the gong and singing bowls.

Und eine renommierte und populäre Medienpersönlichkeit in Island: Regelmäßig berichtet er in den isländischen Medien über isländische Kultur in Deutschland. Zudem hat er zahlreiche Bücher und Reiseführer über Island geschrieben, in denen dieser hervorragende Erzähler lebendig und mitreißend aus seinem Heimatland berichtet. In seinem umfassenden Island-Porträt »Alles, was Sie über Island wissen müssen« stellt er das Leben der Menschen auf der Insel am Polarkreis und ihre Auseinandersetzung mit den oft gnadenlosen Naturgewalten durch die Jahrhunderte lebhaft dar. Bereichert wird der Text mit vielen eindrucksvollen Bildern und – zum Teil humorvollen – Erzählungen. Arthúr Björgvin Bollason hat als Herausgeber einige der berühmten isländischen Sagas in Deutschland veröffentlicht und zahlreiche deutsche Schriftsteller (u. a. Heine, Nietzsche, Enzensberger, Schlink und Precht) ins Isländische übersetzt. Mehrfach hat Denis Scheck ihn interviewt; Videos des des berühmtesten Gespräch zwischen den beiden, bei dem Scheck sich in Mantel und Anzug zu ihm in den »Hotpot« setzt, einen heißen Natur-Pool in Island, sind immer noch online zu finden. Die Lesung wird moderiert von Schriftsteller und FAZ-Redakteur Tilman Spreckelsen. Die Neuausgabe des grossen Islandbuches wurde von der Firma ICELANDAIR gefördert. Herausgeber ist der MANA-Verlag. Weitere Informationen gibt es unter: www.arthurbollason.com Im Anschluss an die Lesung laden wir mit unserer Partnerbuchhandlung Pankebuch zur Signierstunde am Bücherstand. Die Kaffebar hat an diesem Abend geöffnet. Hinweise: Bitte beachten Sie, dass es im Felleshus Einlass- und Taschenkontrollen gibt. Auf dieser Veranstaltung werden Foto- und Videoaufnahmen erstellt. Diese werden zur Öffentlichkeitsarbeit (auch in den sozialen Medien) genutzt und dienen außerdem der dauerhaften Dokumentation der Veranstaltung (offline und online und können so auch im außereuropäischen Ausland abgerufen werden).

Theater, das Spaß macht und zum Denken anregt, Theater, das aktuelle Probleme auf die Bühne bringt und spannende Themen aufgreift. Das wollte Bertolt Brecht mit seinem Epischen Theater. Hätte er unser heutiges Improtheater gekannt, er wäre von den Möglichkeiten begeistert gewesen. Theater ohne Probe: Im Sinne von Brecht - Improtheater inspiriert durch das epische Theater Bert Brechts Theater, das Spaß macht und zum Denken anregt, Theater, das aktuelle Probleme auf die Bühne bringt und spannende Themen aufgreift. Das wollte Bertolt Brecht mit seinem Epischen Theater. Hätte er unser heutiges Improtheater gekannt, er wäre von den Möglichkeiten begeistert gewesen. Das Theater ohne Probe verbindet mit Im Sinne von Brecht die Mittel des Epischen Theaters mit dem Aktuellen und Interaktiven des Improvisationstheaters. Dabei entsteht ein höchst unterhaltsames und aktuelles Format, das einmalig ist und etwas zu sagen hat. Ein aufregender Abend mit purem Theater, dessen Entstehen man miterleben und beeinflussen kann. PRESSESTIMMEN Eine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung, es ist weit weniger verkopft als es vielleicht klingt, es ist lebendiges und anregendes Theater – und klüger macht es neben der Unterhaltung auch noch. Impro-news.de Episches Theater, Drama, Brecht. Klingt nicht nach Unterhaltung; aber die Schauspieler von Theater ohne Proben schaffen es, drögen Stoff unterhaltsam aufzubereiten. Sie schaffen den Spagat zwischen Komik und tiefgründigen Überlegungen. Es ist mit immer noch ein Rätsel, wie man aus dem Stand heraus, so viele tolle Ideen und Dialoge generieren kann. Hut ab! BESUCHERFAZIT: Das hätte Brecht gefallen! Holger Kurtz auf LIVEKRITIK.de Es war toll, mit wieviel Witz und Tiefgründigkeit das Thema von den Schauspielern ausgespielt wurde. Die Darsteller überzeugten nicht nur durch schauspielerisches Können, sondern auch durch inhaltliche Kenntnisse und Präzision. Das machte den Abend tatsächlich zu einem Theaterabend im Sinne von Brecht – unterhaltsam, lehrreich und mit genug Denkanregungen über den Abend hinaus.
