Goodbye!



Well, that's it. After almost 80 days and 80 nights on our Occident-Express, we feel As If we haven't slept for the last two months (which is partly not that false); we spent Seven wonderful days in Zagreb and are just happy that we didn't end up like the Titanik Orkestra.

Sunday, we had the last performance on the Orientexpress. For the last time, the train entered the harbour of Stuttgart, the lights dimmed, Fatih opened the hydraulic stage, the train whistled and the German ensemble started their performance.

After the show, we had one of these unforgettable parties in the dining car, with Turkish music, Raki and Slivovic. Now, the train's on the way home again; what is left are good memories, a slightly expanded phone bill - and about a hundert hours of filmmaterial. Our documentary film will be ready by the end of this year and broadcastet on the German tv channel "Theaterkanal". For further information about our film, You may subscribe to our newsletter. (And don't worry: we won't spread Your email-adress or sell it to anybody)

So, that's the last blog. For two months we made this blog, with a movie clip every day, which was a very interesting (and pretty exhausting) experience to us filmmakers, as we normally don't work on a daily basis.

Now, we just want to do two things: sleep and say thank You. Dear technicians, actors, crew-members, organizers: Tesekkür ederim, Multumesc, Hvala and Danke to everybody who was on the Orient Express, we will never forget You. See You!

everything has to come to an end..

... the "Orient Theatre Express" also.

Last night we celebrated the last performance of the german ensemble "80 days 80 nights" on the Orient-Theatre-Express". The audience was more than happy and wanted to party the whole night long.

Today we will post last impressions of the final night and the departure of the train. We also want to offer you a possibilitie to register and receive a regular newsletter what is happening with the film. So please come back later and have a look.

For now we have to go one last time to Stuttgart Harbour and say good bye when the train is leaving in direction of Turkey.

Tiger wants to say something...



It's the second last day, and honestly, that feels a bit strange to us. We spent more than two months on the Orient-Theatre-Train which became very familiar to us. As You probably have noticed, we're pretty keen of the two stuffed animals of the German play. Here You will see, probably for the last time, a short interview with Tiger, sitting at the harbour of Stuttgart.

A slow interview



Sometimes we like to ask difficult questions... Sitting on the roof of the Orientexpress, Slovenian actor Primoz Pirnat explains, what theatre means to him.
