Hat denn diesmal das lärmende akustische Kriegsgeschehen aus vielen Lautsprechern Im Hafen von Pythagorio wieder so elendig lang gedauert?
Das letzte Mal, als ich dieses "Schauspiel" in der damals erstmals aufgeführten neuen Version erlebt habe, hat es mir mehr als gereicht.
Fabulous firework shots.
