Through the lens of an immigrant, Concert recording

This week was great!

On Wednesday I prepared a photography exhibition with Farhad. He's a Syrian photographer who now lives here in Switzerland for about one and a half years as an immigrant. We did a project a couple months back where we went onto the street with him, and he had to take some pictures. Later we analysed them together, and now I offered him the chance to present them at our school.

It was quite some work until we prepared it all! First, we had to get some more presenter-boards form another building, put the pictures on them nicely and help Ali make tea for the exhibition. Just on time everything was ready :D

There were a lot of people, more than I expected. At one time nearly the whole room was full!

My friends had a concert in a small cinema on Thursday, where they performed live music to a muted black & white film. It was really well done, they did a great job!

I was asked to record the whole thing, audio and video. And of course, I did! It took quite some time to set it up, with all the cameras and stuff. Now I still have to edit everything..!

Two really amazing theatres!

After a few last exams this week I went two times to theatre with my parents and both performances were really cool! First we saw Simon Libsigs new program. He's a slam-poet from Baden and talked about his four month travel to South America. It was really fun because of the way he told his stories and the two musicians underlining the story with cool groves and funky melodies.

The day after we went to see Carlos Martínez on the small stage in our village. He is a pantomime artist from Barcelona and already performed here once a couple years back. Since we very much enjoyed the show back then, we just had to go again! He performed a piece called "Books without Words" and it was just astounding! I really recommend you seeing his pantomime. You can visit his webpage here.

Yesterday we visited some friends and I had a little guitar-piano jam session with my friend Siro which was a lot of fun :)
