The Unsung Heroes- Greg Shapiro and Ken Parsons at Karakas
Nederland
Organisatie : The Language Fool

beschrijving

Both were born in 68, the year of tumultuous change and revolt.
Both left their native land to seek their fortunes abroad
Both were instrumental in the 90’s cultural scene: Greg helping in the embryonic stage of the English comedy scene in Netherlands co-running Boom Chicago; Ken helping set up stages for music, poetry and cabaret in the crazy years just before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Places like Tacheles, X- B Liebig or the Lohmuhle Waggon site.
Both have stuck to their guns and have watched the projects they helped kick-start flourish or encourage other exciting projects.
Both have watched colleagues and fellow travellers climb to the top in the arts.
Both found themselves thinking ‘Hey, what about me!


Be a hero, too and try and catch them! The Karakas
bar is a cosy venue and around the corner from Ken's
first ever flat in Berlin in Tiergarten/Mitte
