How and Why
- by Paul Belben -
My childhood
I am Hubertus Wawra, born on a Sunday in the communist east of Germany and raised as a catholic. When I was a small boy I wanted to be a singer or a priest, but it did not happen that way so I quickly developed an attention deficit disorder and the ability to set my toys on fire. Aged 15 I witnessed the fall of the wall, lost any respect for politics and formed a desire to destroy much bigger objects. My parents advised me to learn a proper job so I went after a good school graduation to study the hotel business. I do not know if it was my love for burning ties or the fact that I need to have the last word, whatever it was though I did not stand a chance. Alone with my burning talent I turned my back on Germany in the year 1994. They didn’t seem to mind…
The great escape
I stuffed my stereo system, my records and my bed in an old VW Golf and drove in a cloak and dagger operation to London. The English were very happy and the Queen promised me safe conduct.
In London town I met a mighty wizard called Mr. Milton Grover and he enchanted me with his bright shiny eyes and said: „You gonna be a big clown“. In the spell of this magic I went to the circus school „Circus Space“ in September 95. I learned how to throw things up in the air and catch them later when I needed them again, how to ride a unicycle without breaking my neck and how to seduce an audience without breaking theirs. But soon it became obvious that I was not going to be a second Houdini, and so I returned to the basics. In a dream I met Blixa Bargeld and he said: „less than half the world is made of teflon and asbestos, the rest is yours to burn“. This was all I needed to know. From now on nothing could stop me…
