Friday night was spent at the Friedrichstadt-Palast in Berlin. The theatre known as Europe's Show Palace held a production of Yma and it was spectacular. Yma, played by Jorn -Felix Alt, takes us through stages in her life in the most unusual, but interesting way. Jorn-Felix plays his character to perfection. Watching the show gives the viewer bits of Cirque du Soleil, cabaret, live vocals and just the right amount of sex. Some found it to be a bit jarring, but I felt I was getting everything out of a theater performance I have always wanted to see. The men were of course in the best of physical shape. During one performance Yma told us to enjoy her men and did we ever. For the men's first solo performance they ended up behind individual glass enclosures as water fell upon them. Soon after the water fell they were stripping off their clothes wearing nothing except jockstraps. After a performance such as that how could I not give a standing ovation! I may have been the only in the theater doing so, but it was well deserved. My pals in the group got a kick out of it making my lone enthusiasm worth it. Yma is a show I could see multiple times and I hope to do so in the future.
The night ended with my roommate and me going to a club called The Weekend where we took an elevator to the top floor of a building that overlooked Berlin. The people were beautiful to look at, the energy was high, and the music was what club music should be. With a live deejay playing music that no one could resist dancing to we hit the dance floor having a great time. We left about 3 a.m. and people were still lining up at the door just entering for the night to begin. According to the elevator attendant the party did not stop until about 7 a.m. By that time the sun has already been up for about three hours, but that is how Berliners do it. Prost to Berlin for going all the way!
