Unterwelt Dance Performance, Baltazar Cocktail Workshops

Choreographer Catherine Habasque is directing a performance of "Unterwelt", which will take you on a journey to a magical world in which dance, music and dining are intertwined. “Underworld” will dive into the depths of our souls, into a world of full of apparitions in which dramas interlace. Experience the dancers' stories, witness their passions and share an underworld that may also be yours. The unique atmosphere of the Offene Kirche Elisabethen provides the ideal setting for these immersive performances. Performances are on November 18 and 24, 2018 at 7 p.m. A single ticket with food and wine is CHF 95.-; 180.- for two people; and 50.- for students. Catherine Habasque came in to tell us all about the production. Listen to the interview again here.

Our intrepid reporter Mary Collins headed to the hip chill-spot Baltazar to talk Dirty Martinis and more! Mary talked with Baltazar's cocktail workshop bartender and host Lewin, who knows how to put a spin and bite in the best cocktails in town. Baltazar offers cocktail workshops and other events once a month. Mary also talked to participants of one of the cocktail workshops; each person got to make their own specific cocktail as well as taste each attempt. Stay tuned in the upcoming weeks, as Baltazar preps for the holidays and may just have a special offer for English Show listeners soon! Click here to listen to the "Cocktail Workshop" segment. And listen to the participants' opinions right here.
