Missed the last Teddy-news? No time to check our daily updates on our blog and social media? Don’t worry! Here’s everything you shouldn’t have missed.
Less than a month to go! Berlinale is coming soon, and here at the office, the pressure is slowly but surely increasing. So is the amount of post-its on our desks, by the way.
Lots of work naturally means that we’ve got some interesting news to share with you all.
First of all, we are really happy to finally tell you that Sven Ratzke confirmed his presence on our TEDDY AWARD Gala stage! He will be performing a piece from his great version of the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch with his band. They’ve been playing in Berlin and everywhere in Germany all summer and will present their show in the Netherlands soon. And as I’ve personally seen it, I can promise you: IT IS AWESOME! I’m actually not the only one saying this, as John Cameron Mitchell HIMSELF declared that it is the best Hedwig he has ever seen. Wow.
And that’s not the only big news: Jochen Schropp will be on stage too. If you’ve been to one of the last two TEDDY AWARD Galas, you probably remember him as our host from the past years, and we’re glad he’s back! His fans on twitter seem to agree with this, since they asked him if he’s part of the TEDDY AWARD even before we could officially confirm it:
Planning the TEDDY includes lots of running through Berlin. So this week, a part of the crew visited the Komische Oper again, this time with the TEDDY-Party artists David Pereira & Jack Woodhead to plan their WHIPSTICK act. Funny, apparently it will include something with a fish. As someone would say: Now you’re interested, huh? Intrigued, even?
