NEITHER - a "Premiere" Party Night

On Saturday the jury attended the premiere of Neither, a production by Castellucci to the opera created by Morton Feldman and Samuel Beckett.

Damian Rebgetz, host for the upcoming CCA Awards Ceremony, joined us from Berlin! I think this photo sets the tone for the night...




Here's V-IP Ken in the car

Ken snuck in while I was out


Here we go, on our drive up to the red carpet at the Jahrhunderthalle....


and here we are in the lobby!






Damian and Jana, her brother from another mother


AND... (post-show)... here it is, the amputated leg. Best prop ever?




We talked to Romeo Castellucci again--the kids had a TON of questions about how the set, the props, how the lights worked--and he graciously answered them all. He even remembered Ken from the selfie he took of them together a couple weeks ago!





THEN we got a little stage tour around the giant train used in the performance. AHHH soo cool!!!



After evaluating the show, we made our way to the place where VIP's should be--the premiere party!! We drank coke and sat at the bar, and met Pascal, a former CCA jury member who was an extra on stage!! The black fingernails were a giveaway - 


such cool guys and gals





sugar highs for the ride home--I hope the jury (and their parents) got some sleep. Good night!!
