01/2012 „Farewell Comrades!“ Premiere in Berlin
We are happy to announce that the big premiere of the „Farewell Comrades! Media Event“ on January 19, 2012, was a great success. (Even the stairs were chosen as additional sitting accomodation.) We want to thank everybody who joined us for this wonderful event! We would particularly like to thank the staff of the Czech Embassy who helped us to organize this special evening in a special building: It was built from 1974 to 1978 in a brutalist style as embassy in the GDR and still uses the distinctive furnishings from back then.
