The Velvet

Already my last day in Melbourne. I shame really. I did another tour along the Yarra river and then went to St. Kilda, Melbourne's beach site.

 

St. Kilda

Looks a bit familiar :D (see last day in Sydney)

That one reminds me quite a bit to Karlsruhe:

For my last day in Australia, I am going to do something more fancy. Matt, my couchsurfer host from Sydney got me free tickets for one of his shows (he does lighting for big concerts, festivals and shows). I just got the confirmation yesterday, so now I had to search for a date to see the show. Though there is not much evidence in my pictures, I did go out quite a bit at nighttime's here in Melbourne. So D´Artagnan, who I met already on Monday, volunteered :D

The show “the velvet” was part of the Melbourne Comedy Festival. However, it was not really possible to define what it really was. First it looked like a musical, then like circus, then like a comeback concert of Australian Disco Queen Marcia Hines (I have never heard of her, but everybody else in the audience new her). Some acts where just hilariously funny others just artistic.

After the show, they just kept the music going and suddenly everybody in the audience started dancing (mean age aground 40yo!). It went on and on and people got more and more into it, amazing. Like a disco party in the 80s.

 

The actors in normal life. Big thanks to Matt for the free ticket (He is the guy on the right)
