Versteigerung im Hof des Berliner Ensemble (BE)
Claus Peymann, der 71-jährige Intendant des Berliner Ensemble, versteigerte im Hof des BE mit Hammer und Zylinder aus dem Fundus des Traditionshauses.
„Peymann räumt auf“, hieß die Auktion.
Der Hausherr versteigerte Kostüme, Masken und Requisiten. Für 510,-- EUR wurde eine lebensgroße Bertolt-Brecht-Figur aus Pappmaché ersteigert.
Es gab grobe Steppjacken aus der Originalinszenierung von "Mutter Courage" aus dem Jahr 1949, entworfen noch von Brechts Frau Helene Weigel. Des Weiteren eine Seidenjacke, die Ekkehard Schall als Schlink im "Dickicht der Städte" 1971 trug, Kleider, Handtäschchen, Perücken, Masken und einen ausgestopften Schäferhund mit mottenzerfressenem Ohr. Besondere Attraktionen der Auktion waren die kuriosen Requisiten: „geheime Papiere“ aus dem Archiv der Bühne, Ton- und Bild-Mitschnitte von Aufführungen und Probenstreitigkeiten. Es fanden sich ferner Plakate legendärer Inszenierungen, ein Original-Szenenbuch vom "Leben des Galilei", das Zauberbuch aus Peymanns eigener Inszenierung von Peter Handkes "Spuren der Verirrten", welches bei Bedarf qualmt, brennt und Wasser spritzt. Und auch andere Zauberbücher: drei Bände "Das Kapital" von Karl Marx von der BE-Bibliothek, aus der man auch noch acht Bände Stalin und 44 Bände Lenin erwerben konnte, alles in braunem Kunstleder-Einband; eine riesige Orchestermuschel, in der Jean Anouilhs "Orchester" in der Inszenierung von Jutta Ferbers saß, ausgekleidet mit rosa Seide. Höhepunkt der ganzen Auktion war die Versteigerung der legendären BE-Kantineneinrichtung, einst zusammengestellt von Helene Weigel, bestehend aus 81 Korbstühlen und Holztischen.
Der Erlös aus der Auktion von Kostümen, Requisiten und Masken betrug insgesamt 7470,-- EUR und soll dem Theater zur Finanzierung eines Auszubildenden dienen.

Auction in the courtyard of the Berlin Ensemble Theater (BE)
Claus Peymann, the 71-year-old artistic director of the Berliner Ensemble, auctioned off items from the theater's collection in the courtyard of the BE, wielding a gavel and top hat.
The auction was called „Peymann Clears Out.”
The host auctioned off costumes, masks, and props. A life-size papier-mâché figure of Bertolt Brecht was sold for EUR 510.
There were also coarse quilted jackets from the original 1949 production of „Mother Courage,“ designed by Brecht's wife Helene Weigel. There was also a silk jacket worn by Ekkehard Schall as Schlink in „The Thicket of Cities” in 1971, dresses, handbags, wigs, masks, and a stuffed sheepdog with a moth-eaten ear. Special attractions at the auction were the curious props: „secret papers” from the theater's archives and audio and video recordings of performances and rehearsal disputes. There were also posters of legendary productions, an original script from „The Life of Galileo,“ and the magic book from Peymann's own production of Peter Handke's „Traces of the Lost,“ which smokes, burns, and sprays water when needed. And other magic books too: three volumes of Karl Marx "Das Kapital“ from the BE library, from which you could also purchase eight volumes of Stalin and 44 volumes of Lenin, all in brown imitation leather bindings; a huge orchestra shell, in which Jean Anouilh's „orchestra” sat in Jutta Ferbers' production, lined with pink silk. The highlight of the whole event was the auction of the legendary BE canteen furniture, once assembled by Helene Weigel, consisting of 81 wicker chairs and wooden tables.
The proceeds from the auction of costumes, props, and masks totaled EUR 7,470 and will be used by the theater to finance an apprentice.

Mirrors are manufactured by applying a reflective coating to a suitable substrate. The most common substrate is glass, due to its transparency, ease of fabrication, rigidity, hardness, and ability to take a smooth finish. The reflective coating is typically applied to the back surface of the glass, so that the reflecting side of the coating is protected from corrosion and accidental damage by the glass on one side and the coating itself and optional paint for further protection on the other. The method of making mirrors out of plate glass was invented by 16th-century Venetian glass makers on the island of Murano, who covered the back of the glass with mercury, obtaining near-perfect and undistorted reflection. For over one hundred years, Venetian mirrors installed in richly decorated frames served as luxury decorations for palaces throughout Europe. The secret of the mercury process eventually arrived in London and Paris during the 17th century due to industrial espionage. French workshops succeeded in large-scale industrialization of the process, eventually making mirrors affordable to the masses, although mercury’s toxicity remained a problem. In modern times, the mirror substrate is shaped, polished, and cleaned, and is then coated with silver or aluminum. A symbol of wisdom and an early emblem of the Apostles, the scroll has always played an exalted role in art. The award-winning designer, Shah Gilani, ASFD, joined together several scrolls to make a uniquely shaped mirror frame. Constructed of metal, the Scroll Mirror is offered in a variety of finishes and accents. With its grand scale and exquisite styling, it makes an exceptional wall accent for upscale residential and hospitality interiors. Custom sizing is available.

Scroll of Fire is a monument found in the Jerusalem hills, and it commemorates Jewish history from The Holocaust until Independence. The monument was inaugurated in 1971.
The initiative for the monument came from B'nai B'rith of the United States, and was funded by them. The monument was sculptured by the artist Nathan Rapoport, who is a Holocaust survivor.
One of the scrolls describes the Holocaust and the other describes independence. In the space between the two scrolls, there are two rooms of memorial, and in each one is engraved a quote from the bible.
Dufu Cottage (also known as Dufu Thatched Cottage, Dufu Caotang, or 杜甫草堂) is my favorite spot in the city (as a photographer) and one of my favorite for simple relaxation. I’ll briefly introduce three aspects here: Dufu, Chengdu during the years he was here, and the physical location of his cottage.
To start on Dufu, I’ll say he’s one of China’s most favorite classical poets. (I haven’t read too many, but to date, he’s my favorite Chinese poet; his themes tend to be more than subtle poems about nature.) Along with Li Bai, he is probably the most influential poet of his era – and for centuries that followed.
Dufu lived from 712-770 AD (Tang Dynasty). He was born in Henan province, though the exact location isn’t known. As a younger man, he traveled around the Middle Kingdom. His biggest ambition was actually to be a civil servant. However, due to politics (corruption, nepotism, etc.), he never passed the examinations because he lacked the right political connections.
Though he was from Henan and didn’t spend more than a few years here in Chengdu (roughly 760-765, but not exclusively), he is associated with Chengdu because he wrote effusively of his time here and how he loved living in his “Thatched Cottage.”
Chengdu, in those days, was most certainly a part of China and was close to the imperial national border. Tibet, in those years, was a separate kingdom that was essentially treated as its own nation-state. Those years were marked by warring between the two states. (Tibet, by the way, is one province west of China and, historically, Tibet was bigger than its current border.) So, Chengdu of the 8th century was definitely on the western frontier of the country.
Dufu’s Cottage is located in Chengdu just inside the 2nd Ring Road about 5 km. directly west of downtown (Tianfu Square is considered the heart of the city). It’s a 24 acre park that is wonderful for strolling, contemplating, relaxing in general. None of the buildings currently on site are where Dufu lived, but are actually replicas that were built during the…Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), I believe, but also possibly during the Qing (1644-1911). According to Wikipedia, the park was created during the Ming (16th century) and renovated during the Qing (1811). However, I can’t say which buildings were built during the Ming, which came after. At any rate, the buildings are old, and have been renovated – obviously – with electricity, etc.
The PRC declared this park a national heritage site in 1961. Since then, they have actually uncovered what may be the actual location of the cottage (or, at the very least, a cottage that was lived in roughly the time Dufu lived here). So in addition to the tributes to Dufu around the park, there is a small area that is an authentic archaeological site that shows how life was here in the 8th century.
If I recall, the admission price for this park is 60 RMB (just under $10). I’ve been here a few times in the past year. With its buildings and natural setting, it’s well worth a visit for anyone who happens to chance upon Chengdu.
