This multimedia performance/opera in a shopping center was pretty interesting, mostly because of the mall, with people continually going up and down the escalators among the shops. It was directed by German American artist Alice Creischer.
Kassel was 80% destroyed during WWII, so is very modern. Because it is close to the border with the former Eastern Germany, it was not very developed, and unemployment remains at 20%. I’m hearing a lot of Turkish and Russian spoken around here.
Germany itself feels like a green (it’s raining), well-run machine compared to Turkey, which feels like a brown jury-rigged jalopy. Each has its advantages and problems. How’s that for being diplomatic?
