  Three days from today, in 1989 the Berlin Wall , which had separated  Germans for 40 years, and had fallen in 1989, lead to the reunification of what was once a divided  Germany. October 3rd is now celebrated  as Germany’s national holiday. 

In the US,  October 6th is German-American Day. President Ronald Reagan first proclaimed this Day a celebration of German contributions to the United States where today 60 million German Americans claim German heritage and roots.

In 2012 Florida is proud to have over 60 German companies in the Tampa Bay area alone. Welcoming German investment in the sunshine state, a new Florida branch of the German American Chamber of Commerce was opened in September 2012.

Today’s show brings you the speeches of those who made it all happen!

-  In 1452,  Johann Guttenberg prints his first book, the Bible, at his workshop in Mainz, Germany.

-  in 1882, we see the birth of Hans Geiger.  He was a physicist, who invented the Geiger Counter. 
 
-  In 1913, we see the passing of Rudolf Diesel.  Diesel was an engineer who developed the engine that bears his name. 

-  In 1921, we the the passing of Engelbert Humperdinck in Neustrelitz Germany.  He was an opera composer.  Among his works is the opera Hansel and Gretel. 

- In 1939 a peace treaty is signed between Germany; and Andorra, ending WWI.  Andorra had not been included in the Versailles Treaty.
 
-  And in 2007, the German Woman Soccer team defeats Brazil and is for the second time world champions. 
DnD Records Recording Studio is the sponsor of Bill's Moment in Cultural German History, and the proud supporter of the German Radio Show.

KINOKINOKINO
Tampa Theatre in Tampa
Unbedingt sehen!
historischen Theater , unbedingt besuchen, www.tampatheatre.org.
Diese Woche faengt es so richtig an mit der Zeit der Gruselfilme....Das Haus am Ende der Strasse ist zwar eher Drama als Horrorfilm, dennoch reicht es fuer die, die sich gerne ein wenig fuerchten.
Fuer die Kleinen (und grossen ) Kinder ist Transsylvania per Animation in Reichweite, so wie der coole Boy, der sich in die Tochter Draculas verliebt, als er auf Entdeckungstour eben mal ins falsche Land geraet. Irgendwie erinnert es aber doch an den nicht zu uebertreffenden Pixar Hit Monsters, Inc. , denn auch hier geht es um falsch verstandene Angst. Das war es, was mir  - und die tausend Tueren- so an Monsters, Inc. gefallen hatte. Transsylvania kann diesen Erfolg nur schwach erneuern.
Viel Gewalt, auch wenn mit "ab 18" zensiert kommt mit dem Polizistenfilm End of Watch in die Kinos, der Jake Gyllendal in die LA Zone der sehr boesen Boesewichte, bis hin zum Drogenkartell geraten und mit Feuer spielen laesst.
Auch hat Loopers zwar eine tolle Idee, aber was bis zum originellen Schlussstrich fuehrt, ist sehr grausam. Zeitreisen und Kriminalitaet, aber auch was Kinder fuerchten muessen und Erwachsene Moral nennen muessen, um auszubrechen.
The Master zeigt, welche Abhaengigkeit entsteht, und wie der Schwaechste mit Eigenverantwortlichkeit auch aus den Klauen des maechtigsten Diktators kommen kann.

Weiterhin sehenswert: Arbitrage, Lawless, und vielleicht auch The Queen of Versailles.Trouble with the Curve? Ein bisschen schleppt er sich dahin, dieser Film, aber Eastwood hat noch immer genug Fans, dass er den Film und Baseball zum Sieg fuehren koennte. The Words laesst uns eine Story in der Story gespannt mitverfolgen, und in Won't Back Down wird die Situation vieler Schulen, die eine "6" bekommen, von einer Mutter und einer Lehrerin, mal ein Kampf geliefert. Schon sind die Lehrer voller Angst, dass dieses Thema gegen ihre Kompetenz antritt. Sicher ist es so.

OPER: www.stpeteopera.org bringt am kommenden Freitag die erste Oper der Saison, eine Operette zum Fuerchten, Sweeney Todd. Die sendung am kommenden Wochenende befasst sich mit dieser Sweeney Todd Auffuehrung.


Cirque du Soleil ist mit Kooza im Anzug auf Tampa. Dort gibt es bald wieder eine Auffuehrung voller Wagemut und Akrobatik.


                                                                    Balancing on Chairs
                                                         
The equipment is as simple as it gets: eight chairs and a pedestal. But in this act, the artist uses them to create a 23-foot tower on which to perform a balancing act that displays the human body at the very peak of condition and muscular control.
 For the first time in 7 years Cirque du Soleil returns to St. Petersburg
 With a big top production

 KOOZA   Opens November 8, 2012 for a limited engagement Under the white Big Top at Tropicana Field
 St Petersburg, FL – Aug. 31, 2012- Cirque du Soleil is thrilled to return to St Petersburg with its big top production, KOOZA. The critically-acclaimed show opens Thursday, November 8 for a limited engagement under the white Big Top at Tropicana Field.

 Since its premiere in April of 2007, KOOZA has charmed close to 4 million spectators in North America and Japan. KOOZA will be the 4th big top production to visit the area since 2002.
   Tickets are available online at cirquedusoleil.com/kooza.
 About KOOZA
 Written and directed by David Shiner, KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil that combines two circus traditions – acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in a colorful mélange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor.
 The name KOOZA is inspired by the Sanskrit word “koza,” which means “box,” “chest” or “treasure,” and was chosen because one of the underlying concepts of the production is the idea of a “circus in a box.”
“KOOZA is about human connection and the world of duality, good and bad,” Shiner said. “The tone is fun and funny, light and open. The show doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it’s very much about ideas, too. As it evolves we are exploring concepts such as fear, identity, recognition and power.”
The show starts with The Trickster bursting onto the scene like a jack-in-a-box right in front of The Innocent, and that is just the first of many surprises to follow. The Innocent’s journey brings him into contact with a panoply of comic characters such as the King, the Trickster, the Heimloss, the Pickpocket, the Obnoxious Tourist and his Bad Dog.
 Between strength and fragility, laughter and smiles, turmoil and harmony, KOOZA is set in an electrifying and exotic visual world.

                                                               Charivari
                                                                
                                                                   
The House Troupe burst into action at the top of the show. The act highlights include human pyramids, bodies flying through the air and a “crash bash”—a daring dive into a circle of fabric inspired by the “Nalukauq,” the traditional Inuit game of “Blanket Toss” and the landing mats used by firefighters.
