the cherry blossoms are out, making bank street a beautiful place.
we had a field trip today to the new vic theatre on 42nd street. today we saw le grand c, performed by company XY founded in 2005 by abdel senhadji and mahmoud louertani to exhibit acrobatic ensemble work that "reflects the personalities and creativity of each performer." they didn't disappoint. it was truly a remarkable show. they began in the dark in silence which created an interesting meditation with the audience. the children in the theatre were five to seven year olds, and their exclamations served as music to the different acrobatic pieces. when they did have music, it was so enchanting that i felt like i was in a magical dream.
many of the shows at the new vic are loud and obnoxious in their spectacle, le grand c was joyful without shocking my senses, and profound in it's sensitivity. we loved it. morgana said she had never seen a company work so well together. it was like being in one of her acting classes, and that was special for her.

the weather was so beautiful that we walked home.
and i made a sour dough bread!!!
Did you see me waving to you? We spent almost three hours at JFK to fly to Europe. The airplane hat defective breaks and needed to be repaired. The children kept saying that this is where you lived :). Anyway, we are attending my godson's First Holy Communion at my parents' town. I have to think of your German roots from around here!
ReplyDeleteYour bread looks really good. Was it difficult to make?
Love to you all from Germany!
What a surprise! And so exciting!! I was thinking about you today while we were planting in our courtyard garden. Maybe it was because you were so near! Is this a spur of the moment trip? Say hello to Germany for me! Have a wonderful time :)
Deletep.s. the bread is really quite easy to make. i'll have to post the recipe one day, or just send it to you :P
DeleteThis trip wasn't meant to be, but then it came together all of a sudden due to very helpful people from both continents. I'm so glad we could go. I haven't been back to Europe for five years now. I will get to see all my siblings and some other relatives! We've been having so much fun already.
DeleteDo you buy a sourdough starter?
That's funny you had to think of us, maybe it was because we were there. Maybe you even saw the airplane, who knows!
