Peacock Island: Botanical Drawing & Autumn Melancholy

Peacock Island: Botanical Drawing & Autumn Melancholy

Sun, Nov 15, 9:00 AM
From The Dark Academia Berlin Society

# Peacock Island: An Autumn Walk & Botanical Drawing *Where Autumn Goes to Die* There is a certain kind of beauty that belongs only to autumn. It lingers in the silence of ancient gardens, in the delicate architecture of fallen leaves, and in the quiet melancholy of landscapes slowly surrendering to winter. The **Dark Academia Berlin Society** invites you to leave the familiar world behind and join us for an intimate autumnal expedition to Peacock Island (Pfaueninsel), a secluded realm of romantic ruins, enchanted woodlands and forgotten histories, where nature and nineteenth-century imagination seem to exist in perfect harmony. Following a short passage across the Havel, we shall wander through the island's winding paths and historic gardens, allowing curiosity rather than haste to guide our steps. Among centuries-old trees and the fading splendour of autumn, we will revive the beautiful tradition of the naturalist's sketchbook, dedicating part of our gathering to **botanical drawing**. With pencil and paper, we shall study the delicate anatomy of leaves, the silhouettes of bare branches and the intricate patterns nature conceals in plain sight. No artistic experience is necessary. This is an invitation to observe rather than perform, to create without expectation, and to discover how much beauty reveals itself when we finally give it our undivided attention. Our journey begins at **9:50 AM at the Pfaueninsel bus stop**, where we shall gather before taking the ferry to the island together. To reach us, simply take the **S-Bahn S7 to Wannsee Bhf**, followed by **Bus 218 towards Pfaueninsel**, alighting at its final stop. Bring a warm blanket, a sketchbook or drawing pad, your favourite pencils, and perhaps a flask of tea or coffee accompanied by a little something to eat. Dress warmly and comfortably, for autumn has a habit of reminding us that even the most beautiful things come with a touch of cold. To help sustain the gatherings and future endeavours of **The Dark Academia Berlin Society**, a contribution of **€10 per person** is kindly requested. This donation already includes the return ferry ticket to Peacock Island. Beyond the walk and the drawings, this gathering is an opportunity to encounter kindred spirits: those who are drawn to old books, forgotten places, curious ideas, meaningful conversations and the quiet pleasures of a life lived with a little more imagination. **Advance registration is required. Places are limited.** For one autumn morning, let the city continue without us. *Some places are meant to be visited. Others are meant to be remembered.*

Octopus's Garden - Surreal English Stand-up Comedy

Octopus's Garden - Surreal English Stand-up Comedy

Fri, Nov 27, 7:00 PM
From Berlin Comedy in English
4.5

**Overview** Think Salvador Dalí’s melting clocks as punchlines. Welcome to Octopus’s Garden, the only surrealist stand-up comedy show in Berlin, or possibly the whole world. This is a show where the comedy as hilarious as it is mind-bending and dream-like. Think Salvador Dalí’s melting clocks as punchlines. Kafka’s big bug as premises. Think Ren and Stimpy’s nerve endings as that which gets tickled. [Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/octopuss-garden-surreal-english-stand-up-comedy-tickets-2004151564279) This is a professional show with Berlin’s most outside the box and brilliant comics. Only the best, only the most deranged, and only the most illogical conclusions will find a home on this stage. It is not “alt comedy” but classical stand-up comedy taken to the most bizarre and delightful places. There will be no German and Berlin stereotype jokes, no dating jokes unless they are truly psychedelic and no topics you have ever contemplated before. Or your money back. **\*What is surrealism:Wikipedia says “Surrealism** is an [art](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_movement "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_movement") and [cultural movement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_movement "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_movement") that developed in Europe in the [aftermath of World War I](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aftermath_of_World_War_I "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aftermath_of_World_War_I") in which artists aimed to allow the [unconscious mind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconscious_mind "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconscious_mind") to express itself, often resulting in the depiction of [illogical](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illogical "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illogical") or [dreamlike](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamlike "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamlike") scenes and ideas.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism#cite_note-1 "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism#cite_note-1") Its intention was, according to leader [André Breton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Breton "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Breton"), to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality", or *surreality.*[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism#cite_note-2 "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism#cite_note-2")[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism#cite_note-3 "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism#cite_note-3")[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism#cite_note-Manifesto_of_Surrealism-4 "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism#cite_note-Manifesto_of_Surrealism-4") It produced works of painting, writing, photography, [theatre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatre_of_Cruelty "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatre_of_Cruelty"), [filmmaking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealist_cinema "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealist_cinema"), [music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealist_music "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealist_music"), [comedy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surreal_humour "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surreal_humour") and other media as well.” *** **Tickets:** Early Bird Tickets: 7 EUR Regular Online Tickets: 10 EUR Door: 12 EUR [Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/octopuss-garden-surreal-english-stand-up-comedy-tickets-2004151564279) *** **Details:** **Date: November 27th** **Doors: 20:00** **Showtime: 20:30 - 22:30** **Venue: Werkhain (**[Frankfurter Allee 108a/Fabrikgebäude 2.

Murder Mystery Cold Case Night

Murder Mystery Cold Case Night

Sat, Nov 21, 1:30 PM
From Berlin Recommended Murder Mystery Meetup Group
4.7

Hello, fellow private investigators, Join us for another unsolved murder investigation. This isn’t a roleplay night. You won’t get a character or a script. Instead, we’re all detectives on the same case, working through witness statements, forensic reports, crime scene photos and evidence files, and arguing it out together until we know who did it and why. **What to expect** * **Format:** A sealed cold case file, opened in stages. Each stage ends with a checkpoint question, and you unlock the next envelope by proving what the evidence shows. There’s no host handing out answers, only the evidence. If your team gets stuck, a sealed hint is there for you. * **Teams:** Groups of 5–6 investigators. Bring friends or come solo and I’ll find you a team. * **Time:** Roughly 2–3 hours. Expect to sit down, take notes and argue. * **Difficulty:** Pick easy, medium or hard when you check in. * **Experience:** None needed, and you don’t need to have attended previous cases. There are no codes to crack and no trivia to know. Everything you need is somewhere in the file. * **Language:** English. * **Location:** Generator Berlin, a 5-minute walk from Alexanderplatz. There will be happy hour drinks available for the event. * **Cost:** €5 per person, paid at check-in. This covers the case files and organising costs. I don’t make a profit from these events. **Stay in touch** Do you have ideas for improving our events, or a murder mystery you’d like to donate? Send me a direct message on Instagram or Meetup. 📸 Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/berlin_murder_mystery_club/](https://www.instagram.com/berlin_murder_mystery_club/) 💬 Questions? Ask in our Telegram group chat.
