This time the venue is full !!! YouCut_20211211_183716148.mp4

A girl from my Facebook group made a live from the rehearsal. They are at the first row (of course) But not too many people at that time. Mika had problems with playing piano because his hands were frozen. He said that he feels like each of his fingers are twice large and he looks like an elephant playing the piano. Of course fans were freezing as well. I hope they all feel better during the concert. BTW - singing Ice Cream in this weather sounds pretty "cold"

I like the name of the tour!!!! Spring will come with Mika on stage 👏👏👏👏👏 For sure it's not on sale so you can't find the event. But if it's already scheduled 100% the tickets will be available soon!!!!!❤️

Mika's story YouCut_20211209_232623460.mp4

Manuelito is so emotional. When he speaks his hands are shaking. This human part of an artist touches my heart.

Yes. Bengala Fire is out. Gianmaria and Baltimora in the 3rd part.

Don't tell me that the winner will be Bengala Fire if Fellow is already out!!!!

I believe that Mika will continue with a bunch of the best places for his fans

Oh, I like his "confused" face. So different to what we see on his own videos He doesn't feel safe in this techno environment And he sais that he tried TikTok and he finds it very difficult. He has a lot of respect to TikTokers. I think he is impressed by all these videos with video tricks. But Mika, "normal' videos on TikTok exist too!!!! So come on, post something!!!!!

Anyway if people didn't claim the refund yet they will do it soon. But I like your way of thinking that the first rows are reserved for MFC 👍

Imo there was a little number of tickets for the Care d'or because tickets from 2020 are still valid. So if an own wants to be refunded the tickets land in sale. I can imagine some people will keep their places. Like this there will be no doublebooking. So maybe you should check very often the status on the sales website. New tickets can appear at every moment.

I don't know. I've heard somewhere that there will be 4 talents on finals. So generally one elimination. Why not 3 in finals? We'll see.

Sounds interesting. A fight with Manuel? He still has two talents left. Manuelito Emma and Mika will be ready to defend their artists for any price

Yes, I find it really sweet too. A big brother taking care of his little sister And during the Hot Factor he wanted to let her speak through his mobile but there was a technical issue.

I think YouTube blocked the channel "Parte del Mare". He/she was already afraid to be blocked one or two weeks ago.

I think it's about the law. Minors are not allowed to "work" after midnight. But I think she was still in the backstage - Mika talked to her after the show.

Maybe Mika read several poems from "Night". So here they quote another one?

I have a screenshot of the letter from the 9th of February this year. It's from the Military Service Department. I was wondering why Andy posted it. So if it was a letter to him I think you are right. If he decided to keep his Geek citizenship he has to go through all obligations.

Flashback from the Live 5. And.....

Here is an article from L'Orient-Le Journal about closing the exhibition in Lebanese Pavilion in Venice. Mika read a poem by Etel Adnan who died the 14th of November 2021. https://www.lorientlejour.com/article/1282753/hala-warde-et-mika-rendent-hommage-a-etel-adnan-a-venise.html?fbclid=IwAR2EdJukYke1EbJLLabqFEUMPr6hxZ1WdthAnL2oqjHkbUfdHC54NSz4kFY Hala Wardé et Mika rendent hommage à Etel Adnan à Venise OLJ / le 26 novembre 2021 à 00h00 À l’occasion de la clôture de la 17e exposition internationale d’architecture La Biennale di Venezia, le pavillon libanais a organisé du 19 au 21 novembre 2021 une série d’événements afin de célébrer l’accueil enthousiaste de la critique et du public et de présenter les prochaines escales de l’installation conçue par l’architecte franco-libanaise Hala Wardé. La fondatrice du cabinet HW Architecture, qui a réalisé le Louvre Abou Dhabi avec Jean Nouvel, a conçu l’œuvre intitulée A Roof for Silence comme une partition musicale visant à faire résonner les disciplines, les formes et les époques en vue de provoquer une expérience sensible autour des notions de silence et de vide. Le projet est né à partir d’une œuvre de la poète et artiste Etel Adnan et puise son inspiration dans les mythes et légendes de seize oliviers millénaires du Liban. La cérémonie de clôture du pavillon libanais s’est tenue le samedi 20 novembre en présence de quelques dizaines d’invités, dont le président de la Biennale Roberto Cicutto. Dans un cadre intime, l’architecte Hala Wardé a tenu à rendre un dernier hommage à Etel Adnan, disparue le 14 novembre à Paris, au cœur de la pièce architecturale centrale qu’elle a pensée et conçue pour abriter son poème en peinture Olivea, hommage à la déesse de l’olivier. Les lumières du Magazzini del Sale, lieu qui a accueilli le pavillon libanais pendant les six mois de la Biennale, ont été éteintes pour l’occasion. Des dizaines de bougies étaient disposées au sol le long de la traînée de verre, métamorphoses fractales matérialisant à la fois l’impact de la déflagration du 4 août 2020 dans la ville de Beyrouth, les empreintes des creux des arbres et les antiformes. Les convives étaient alors invités, dans une lente procession, à se diriger vers la pièce architecturale abritant l’œuvre d’Etel, un bâtiment de verre et de lumière de forme circulaire et octogonale couronné d’un toit semi-sphérique. Ils attendent au creux des oliviers de Bchaaleh projetés dans un film en triptyque. La voix d’Etel Adnan retentit alors ; la cérémonie s’ouvre avec la diffusion d’un extrait d’entretien dans lequel elle évoque ce que lui inspirent la peinture, la poésie et le silence: « La peinture m’a philosophiquement beaucoup appris. C’est un langage, comme la musique, les arbres parlent autant que les mots, même plus que les mots. Quand je dis plus (…) ils touchent des zones que les mots ne touchent pas. Donc la peinture parle, mais elle dit ce qui n’est pas nécessairement destiné à être dit avec des mots. Une peinture n’est pas faite pour être traduite dans les mots. Elle n’est pas faite pour être expliquée, pas plus que la musique. (…) Les arts nous ouvrent des mondes parallèles au monde que la parole atteint. Le silence atteint des mondes. Dans le silence, il y a un sens, souvent, sinon toujours. Donc il y a d’autres mondes que le monde atteint par les mots. » Hala Wardé, accompagnée de l’artiste Mika, ont ensuite donné lecture d’un poème extrait de son livre Night : « J’ai pénétré une fois dans la mémoire de quelqu’un, je dis bien à travers son cerveau, le siège de ses illuminations. C’était un lieu planté d’oliviers et d’équations mathématiques. À l’un de ces arbres était suspendue une peinture de Van Gogh. Le sol de cette maison de souvenirs avait jadis été le lit d’une rivière ayant déjà traversé le cerveau de quelqu’un d’autre. Mon esprit était constitué de tout cela. » Etel Adnan L’architecte a ensuite souhaité prononcer un mot plus personnel pour rendre hommage à l’artiste avec qui elle a noué une amitié de longue date et qui l’a accompagnée tout au long de l’aventure vénitienne : « C’est à peine quelques jours avant que les lumières ne s’éteignent sur la Biennale de Venise, à laquelle elle avait prêté ses couleurs, qu’Etel Adnan a choisi de nous quitter. Nous voulons y voir un signe profond ; celui du chuchotement magique qu’auront été sa vie et son œuvre de création. Le silence sur lequel veillent, depuis plus de mille ans, les 16 oliviers peints par Etel est celui qu’elle a maintenant décidé de retrouver ; le silence, aussi, d’un pays encore assourdi par son implosion ; son silence à elle, et derrière lequel on continuera, à travers tous les chants du monde, à deviner sa voix. » C’est sur ces mots sobres et émouvants, à l’image de la cérémonie d’une dizaine de minutes, qu’ont été clôturés le pavillon libanais et ce premier chapitre vénitien du projet A Roof for Silence. Ce dernier reprendra la route et se posera, sous différentes formes, lors de ses prochaines escales prévues du 15 avril au 4 septembre 2022 au Palais de Tokyo à Paris, et du 15 juin au 31 octobre 2022 au cœur de l’abbaye de Jumièges en Normandie. English translation: Hala Wardé and Mika pay tribute to Etel Adnan in Venice On the occasion of the closing of the 17th international architecture exhibition La Biennale di Venezia, the Lebanese pavilion organized from 19 to 21 November 2021 a series of events to celebrate the enthusiastic reception of critics and the public and to present the next stopovers of the installation designed by the Franco-Lebanese architect Hala Wardé. The founder of the firm HW Architecture, which created the Louvre Abu Dhabi with Jean Nouvel, conceived the work entitled A Roof for Silence as a musical score aiming to resonate disciplines, forms and eras in order to provoke an experience sensitive around the notions of silence and emptiness. The project was born from a work by poet and artist Etel Adnan and draws its inspiration from the myths and legends of sixteen thousand-year-old olive trees in Lebanon. The closing ceremony of the Lebanese pavilion was held on Saturday, November 20 in the presence of a few dozen guests, including the president of the Biennale Roberto Cicutto. In an intimate setting, the architect Hala Wardé paid a last tribute to Etel Adnan, who died on November 14 in Paris, in the heart of the central architectural room that she thought and designed to house her poem in Olivea painting, homage to the goddess of the olive tree. The lights of the Magazzini del Sale, place that hosted the Lebanese pavilion during the six months of the Biennale, were turned off for the occasion. Dozens of candles were laid out on the ground along the glass trail, fractal metamorphoses materializing both the impact of the August 4, 2020 explosion in the city of Beirut, the prints of tree hollows and the anti-uniforms. The guests were then invited, in a slow procession, to walk towards the architectural room housing Etel's work, a building of glass and light in a circular and octagonal shape crowned with a semi-spherical roof. They wait in the hollow of the olive trees of Bchaaleh projected in a triptych film. Etel Adnan's voice sounded then; the ceremony opens with the broadcast of an excerpt from an interview in which she talks about what painting, poetry and silence inspire in her: "Painting has taught me a lot philosophically. It's a language, like music, trees speak as much as words, even more than words. When I say more (…) they touch areas that the words don't touch. So the painting speaks, but it says what is not necessarily meant to be said in words. A painting is not meant to be translated into words. It isn’t meant to be explained, nor is music. (…) The arts open up worlds parallel to the world reached by the spoken word. Silence reaches worlds. In silence there is a meaning, often, if not always. So there are other worlds besides the world reached by words. " Then Hala Wardé, accompanied by artist Mika, read a poem from her book Night: "I once entered the memory of someone, I mean through his brain, the place of its illuminations. It was a place planted by olive trees and mathematical equations. On one of these trees there was hung a painting by Van Gogh. The floor of this house of memories had once been the bed of a river that had already went through someone else's brain. My mind was made up of all of this. " Etel Adnan The architect then wanted to say a more personal word to pay tribute to the artist with whom she has forged a long-standing friendship and who has accompanied her throughout the Venetian adventure: "It was only a few days before the lights went out on the Venice Biennale, to which she lent her colors, that Etel Adnan chose to leave us. We want to see this as a deep sign; that of the magical whisper that will have been her life and her work of creation. The silence that the 16 olive trees painted by Etel have watched over for more than a thousand years is the one she has now decided to rediscover; the silence, too, of a country still deafened by its implosion; her own silence, and behind which we will continue, through all the songs in the world, to guess her voice. " It was with these sober and moving words, like the ten-minute ceremony, that the Lebanese pavilion and this first Venetian chapter of the A Roof for Silence project were closed. The latter will resume the road and will land, in different forms, during its next stopovers scheduled from April 15 to September 4, 2022 at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and from June 15 to October 31, 2022 in the heart of the Abbey of Jumièges in Normandy.

Well, I don't know how the camel story will evolve next year. But we can come to Caribana with small plush camel toys. We can wave them during the show or trow them on the stage. Next day we will find in the Swiss press an information that Mika has been attacked by a troop of camels!!!!
