Berlin Is My New Hero

As part of the celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the destruction of the Berlin wall, a theater group put on a multi-day giant puppet show. It looks surreal, eerily beautiful... kinda like pinnochio times a million. Berlin does art projects beyond right.

The whole show tells a story of a scuba diver who looses his niece/daughter. The end up being separated by a wall, but then scuba steve breaks down the wall and is reunited with his kid/cousin person. Something like that. I tried to piece it together through the pictures. What I dont understand is how his daughter is extremely asian, but he looks pretty standard european white. Somethings lost in translation... still awesome looking though.

*love the team of puppeteers in the retro red colonial (? royal? what style is that) outfits
