He is a familiar face in the largest comedy scene in Europe and is known for his show production - After Work Comedy.

Bruno Mazzini (PERU)
Bruno Mazzini is a Berlin-based Peruvian comedian. Is that it? Basically. With no unique features that define him, Bruno is desperately looking for some characteristic that he can use to sound cool. Maybe the fact that he’s kind of brown is interesting. Maybe not. Anyway, his comedy is silly, dark-ish, and questionably insightful. ”You’re Latino and that makes you exotic” – Germans. Bruno has performed all over Europe and the USA, has been the supporting act for the popular Australian comedian - Elena Gabrielle, and is the MC for some of Berlin’s top comedy shows.

Sandy Jones(BOL/UK)
Sandy Jones is a Berlin-based comedian available in English, Spanish and German. He's 50% a passionate Bolivian, 50% a sarcastic Brit and 100% addicted to making you laugh. He has been featured as a headliner at the Hamburg International Comedy Festival, and is a paid regular at Europe’s top Cosmic Comedy Club. You can catch him hosting and performing around the city every night all over Berlin.

If you're up for it, join us – the artists of this madness, and embrace your beautifully twisted sense of humour. Let your dark side shine!

We are excited to welcome 2 artists

Nancy B- Kreativbuendel will showcase her painting exhibit ‘Art is Everywhere’ between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm

"(GE-) SCHICHTEN"

The German word “Geschichte” carries the connotation “layer,” as if stories consist of layers layered on top of each other.
And It could be said that we experience the world as sensory impressions layered on top of each other, which can be interpreted
independently, i.e. they "tell" different stories: I look out the window. I smell tobacco smoke. I hear the water flushing. I notice
that I'm too warm. - Our head “automatically” creates a connection. The density increases through information conveyed - for example
through written or spoken language. I experiment with telling stories through different sensory “channels”
to explore our ability to capture complexity. What stories arise in us when “telling” occurs at different levels of perception?
At the Neustadt Art Festival I will perform four performances that build on each other.
The stories are about the tension between (biological) existence in the here and now and the attempt to find meaningful options for action
as a responsible member of human society. My storytelling experiences flow into the next performance so that I
can refine this way of storytelling.

The four performances will take place at the following locations:
Friday, 8:00 p.m. Anthropoxene Gallery (Scheunenhofstraße 1),
Saturday 8:00 p.m. InterLokal (Kamenzer Straße 38),
Sunday 4:30 p.m. Stadtteilhaus Äußere Neustadt (Prießnitzstraße 18,
ground floor) and
Sunday 6:00 p.m. Nerdpol Café (Bautzner Straße 53).
I am very happy to receive feedback after each performance.

GE-) SCHICHTEN
mixed media poetry

Im Wort "Geschichte" schwingt die Konnotation "Schicht" mit, so als würden Geschichten aus übereinander geschichteten Ebenen bestehen.
Und tatsächlich könnte gesagt werden, dass wir die Welt als übereinander geschichtete Sinneseindrücke erleben, die unabhängig
voneinander gedeutet werden können, die unterschiedliche Geschichten "erzählen": Ich sehe aus dem Fenster. Ich rieche Tabakrauch. Ich höre
die Wasserspülung. Ich merke, dass mir zu warm ist. - Einen Zusammenhang stellt unser Kopf "automatisch" her.
Die Dichte erhöht sich noch über vermittelte Informationen - zum Beispiel durch Schrift oder gesprochene Sprache.
Ich experimentiere damit, Geschichten auf unterschiedlichen Sinnes-"Kanälen" zu erzählen, um unsere Fähigkeit auszuloten,
Komplexität zu erfassen. Welche Geschichten entstehen in uns, wenn auf verschiedenen Wahrnehmungsebenen "erzählt" wird?
Beim Neustadt Art Festival werde ich vier Performances durchführen, die aufeinander aufbauen. In der erzählten Geschichte geht es um das
Spannungsfeld zwischen dem (biologischen) Sein im Hier und Jetzt und dem Versuch, sinnvolle Handlungsmöglichkeiten als verantwortliches
Mitglied der menschlichen Gesellschaft zu finden. Meine Erzähl-Erfahrungen fließen in die jeweils nächste Performance ein.

Ausstellung 

Fotografie "Graphic Storm of Landscape" -  Ellen Isabell Richter

Abstrakte Realitäten zeigen Orte der Geschichte, der Begegnung und des Alltags.

Es sind mit Licht gemalte Portraits von Städten wie Dresden, Chemnitz, Berlin und Paris, welche es „genau so“ nur einmal geben wird. Teilweise noch zu erkennen sind es jedoch fast malerische Fotografien. Keine digital zusammengestellten Bilder, sondern 1 zu 1 "Out of Cam" Fotografien, aufgenommen mit einer speziellen Technik, laden den Betrachter dazu ein, schon zu häufig gesehene Orte neu zu entdecken. Graphisch geschwungenen und individuell festgehalten ist jedes Motiv ein Unikat mit eigener Geschichte - kommt vorbei und findet euer Lieblingsbild der Stadtlandschaft.

Exhibition

Photography "Graphic Storm of Landscape" - Ellen Isabell Richter

Abstract realities show places of history, encounters and everyday life.

They are portraits of cities like Dresden, Chemnitz, Berlin and Paris painted with light, which will only exist once “exactly”. However, some of them are still almost painterly photographs. No digitally compiled images, but 1 to 1 "Out of Cam" photographs, taken with a special technique, invite the viewer to rediscover places that have already been seen too often. Graphically curved and individually recorded, each motif is unique with its own story - come by and find your favorite picture of the cityscape.
