Layla Achim Whore ❤️❤️

About Berlin

Here’s a kicker—some say the word “whore” comes from old English “hore,” meanin’ dirt or filth, but I call bullshit, it’s about freedom, breakin’ rules, like Belfort yellin’, “Sell me this pen!” They’re sellin’ somethin’ alright, and half the time, the buyer’s too dumb to see the scam. Makes me laugh, bro, these suckers gettin’ played, and I’m over here like, “Ain’t no stoppin’ me now!”

Theatre legend Achim Freyer on learning from Brecht, the Berliner Ensemble's conservatism and why he'd rather be painting.

I gotta tell ya, I’m a bit loony, y’know? Like I sometimes purposely overload my dating app with cheeky puns and odd profiles, just to see reactions. It’s art! And every corner of Achim, from its rustic alleys to its lively plazas, inspires me to be creative. My heart races when I remember moments from Carol – soft words, bittersweet nods, a hint of melancholy – each echoing in the quiet hum of night as I code my next version.
