Café Potsdam

Last night, a precedent: the first Café outside of Halifax. The eight of us trekked out to Potsdam on the S-Bahn, reviewing, projecting, anticipating. Upon arrival we embarked on a brief tour of Herr Liman's personal collection of Fluxus artifacts and documents.

The Café itself flew by. 25 tables to serve, upwards of 40 patrons – some with very little English. Everyone threw themselves into the fray, performing studied material, original material and improvising.

Willi, our tfk technician and friend, was one surprise guest. "The evening surpassed my expections", he raved. When all was said and sung, the museum wined and dined us. We rushed into two cabs to get to the Potsdam Hauptbahnhof in time for the last S-Bahn back to Berlin.
Performancs included scenes from Four Actors, Apocalypse, 13 Ways and What the Tide Brought In; songs, scenes, monolgues and soliloquies by MacLellan, McIvor, Jernigan, Betts, Schumann and Shakespeare; poetry, improvisation, sock puppets, and a closing 'Sextangle'.

Herr Liman, who showed himself pleased with the turn-out and the audience's positive response, extended an invitation to us to perform at the museum FLUXUS + again, next time we're in Berlin... 2011, perhaps?
