"We are hopelessly hopeful." Charity Children are two lovers from New Zealand, who send their melodies flying through the streets of Berlin. Elliott and Chloe fell in love making music together, and they have been a couple ever since. They began playing mostly outdoors, on street corners of the city, equipped with small instruments like ukulele, drums, harmonica and accordion but have now moved to warmer, indoor locations.

The new BIYT Show
MODELMONSTERMODEL - The Curse of Narcissus
Written and Performed by Berlin International Youth Theatre
June 6, 7 and 8, 2013 | 7pm | Tickets €12 / €6 students
Look closer if you dare....
A shattering expose of the twisted world of fashion - inside the mirror. Another world, where vanity's victims go, dazzled by visions of flawless beauty . Where ancient Greek gods are running the whole show - and doing it very badly. Alice in Wonderland would certainly not approve. Is this just another tale of a cursed mirror or could this be the tragic truth?
"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion" - you can say that again!
