Albert, a deactivated hotel & pub located in a Scottish village, travels to Berlin. In a visit to the Grüner Salon, Albert tells a few tales of its past life while dwelling on how important a community is, and how important it is to keep what we love alive and open.

The performance is followed by an open discussion about Berlin’s current gentrification, and surely, good live music.

„The proposals of the Community are not viable, and that the closure of other similar businesses since the Albert Hotel closed shows a lack of demand among local people to support such a business.“

Not for a single moment movement would cease.
If it was not in the bar, then it would be the guests in their rooms, or wandering through the floors, ordering something in the kitchen, chatting in the garden. Or the hikers going up and down the coastal path and stopping by rankins cafe just across the road, and when on tuesdays and wednesdays the cafe would be closed, they’d come to me.
