After two years of Sex, Drugs and Rock & Rolling a time has come for a new show. In this classical one act play I partner with Greek actress Eirini Kariotaki as my newly wedded wife. "Here we are" is our first common project, which also happens to be my director debut. Sandra Stoycheva's Installation/Decor, especially constructed for "Here we are," might cause you to unwittingly twitch in the frequency of an on-going train, all the way back to the 1930s. And while looking for the cigarette girl, be careful not to miss on what those two newlyweds have to say. Married or not, chances are you draw the similarities between what people bicker about, no matter the times. We no longer dress, talk, walk or smoke that way, but couples haven't changed a bit.

Kick ass weekend in Amsterdam
Richart's Expo |
TWO events worth seeing in Amsterdam last weekend. Richart Pintura’s exhibition at the Jam Studios Amsterdam (Haarlemmerweg 315) on 21st of April – Saturday, followed by Reef The Lost Cauze's live performance at Akhnaton (Nieuwezijds Kolk 25) on 22nd of April – Sunday.
Richart's expo (video underneath) opened no later than 7 p.m. on Saturday. And though mistaken on the flyer, it looked like people had no problem finding the street number. Pintura's perspective on pop icons, political figures and historical symbols in general, expressed through his spray painting techniques, turned inspiring enough for Chico P. Monev (drums) and Lazar Stoychev (turntables) who jammed the brains out of it.
Johnny Cash, Barack Obama, Mahatma Gandhi, Louis Armstrong, Bob Marley, John Kennedy and Elvis Presley were just few of the portraits presented at the Jam Studios. The entire exhibition, piece by piece, you can check on Richart's blog. All the photos and footage from that night you can find on Wanderworm's facebook page. Pics you can check here and here. To see more videos click here. This article continues, giving you some details on Reef's show at the Akhnaton, right after Camilla Ericsson's photo coverage...
Reef the Lost Cauze (born Sharif T. Lacey in 1982) is a prominent underground hip hop artist based in Philadelphia. He became well known on the underground circuit towards the late 90s and more so in the early 2000's, making his mark by winning many battle competitions within New York and interstate and displaying rare skills of what many called true MCing. Releasing the 'The High Live' album in 2001, Cauze moved on by teaming up with his past partners and friends and released 'The Invisible Empire' in 2003 to much critical acclaim and thus establishing his name among many circles and hip hop heads, as well as the underground. 'Feast or Famine' was released in 2005 again to positive critical reception, as well as his side project 'The Torture Papers' being part of Army of the Pharaohs in 2006 (info: wikipedia)
The show on 22nd was presented by Prix'd the Ami Coffee-Shop Coffee-shop,starting at 11 p.m. Ticket was 10 Euro, but ladies could enter free with the flyer above. This event, as well as numerous other shows, taking place in Amsterdam, is all due to Sandy Karlsson who is bringing some of the world's most favorite hip hop artists in town for quite a long time. And for that, we thank her.
Ground up (photo on the left) was the band to warm up the crowd. You can check how they did it, clicking on the video below. And for those of you who don't know them (Neither did I), check out the info paragraph underneath the video.
GROUND UP first started taking shape in the summer of 2008 at Temple University's Freshman Orientation in North Philadelphia. It was her that Ground Up's two MCs Azar and Malakai met. It wasn't long before they realizing they shared an affinity for expressing themslefs via spoken and written word
As the Fall semester arrived, the two wordsmiths found themselfs creating tracks on campus. They soon called on Ground Up's exlusive produser and Bij Lincs who completed the head-nodding trifecta. (info: Ground Up's website)
Reef started his performance right after Ground Up got off the stage. The place was packed for his opening and it stayed that way to the end. Reef's appearance you can check underneath. To see more of what he did that night go here and here
Besides the gig at Akhnaton, Reef tha Lost Cauze also made one exclusive performance at the Prix'd Ami coffee-shop earlier that day (video below).

If you are wondering what to do this weekend, you can start now and catch the night at the Thirsty Dogg
If you feel like crashing the party you might prefer OT301's Friday event. More info here: OT301. And by all means try to catch POWER VS POWER tomorrow night, again at the OT301
Don't miss my next performance in LONDON on 3rd of May. More info you can find on the blog. And also here. The show starts at 21:30 - Etcetera Theatre Camden. Book your seat here.
Last, but not least, check out my premiere shows of 'Here we are' by Dorothy Parker. Doing my debut as a director, I'll perform together with Greek actress Eirini Kariotaki at the OT301 cinema on 19th of June, and the Nieuwe Anita on 17th and 24th of June.
