Mein Vorbild Eugen Roth - Eine lyrische Wanderung im Geiste des großen Menschenfreundes

My Role Model Eugen Roth
A poetic journey in the spirit of the great humanitarian
Text and reading by Rainer Sliepen

In German poetry, humor still holds a rather subordinate position. However, the poet Eugen Roth (1895 to 1976) has long since secured a place of honor in German poetry history and in the hearts of his readers with his poems "A Human...".

Roth is a formative role model for Rainer Sliepen, who recalls him through his own texts and at the same time encourages the audience to revisit the originals. Sliepen walks in Roth's footsteps and brings his thoughts and humorous charm into our modern times. The idea of the best-selling author is equipped with new themes.

The good and the not so good, the unintentionally comical and the pedants are, as Roth understood masterfully, given a timeless monument in his spirit. Seen in this light, the evening is also a homage to Eugen Roth. Always handled with a light touch and without a moralizing tone, just as his great role model demands.

Maman Europa - »Ich bin ein Kind Europas!« – Sabine Mittelhammer erzählt besorgt, kämpferisch und liebevoll von ihrem Europa

Maman Europa
"I am a child of Europe!" - Sabine Mittelhammer tells worried, combative, and lovingly about her Europe
From 13 years old or 7th grade | Production in German and French

"As the daughter of a German father and a French mother, I have always viewed dual citizenship as a privilege. After both nations met with disgust and aversion after the end of the war, the loving connection of my parents was a living proof of the European new beginning."

In this production, Sabine Mittelhammer tells a very personal story of a small, unique love story amidst significant historical events. Questions are raised such as: Has this Europe, which supposedly "learned from history," already begun to forget? Where is the Europe of humanity, diversity, and hope? Are it the small individual stories that bring about change, or are it the big ideas? How can one shift boundaries, tear down walls, and inspire politics for change?

A story about a German-French wedding, the war trauma of multiple generations, kitschy-grandiose love, and maternal as well as personal migration.

Frederick
Freely inspired by the children's book by Leo Lionni
A solo piece in German, Danish, and French | For ages 4 and up

A classic of puppet theater is on the program: Little Red Riding Hood. The performer is ready, Little Red Riding Hood is too, and off we go.

Wait a minute. A whole brigade of mice is actually clearing out the carefully prepared basket for the sick grandmother. This must be investigated, so a puppeteer, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Wolf embark on a search for the vital necessities in Frederick's fantastic story.

While Frederick's comrades diligently gather supplies for winter, it almost seems as if he is lounging in the sun on the autumnal flower meadow. Far from it, dear mouse friends: To survive cold, lonely winter days, one needs more than nuts, corn, cake, and wine. Namely, imagination and fantasy!

Gar nicht lügen ist auch keine Lösung - Geschichten und Theorien rund ums Lügen

Gar nicht lügen ist auch keine Lösung
Geschichten und Theorien rund ums Lügen

»Honesty lasts the longest«, says a proverb. However, the adult education teachers Paula and Konstanze go with the times and say: What do I gain if something lasts long but brings many problems? Why should we struggle with uncomfortable truths when one can even become President of the USA as a professional liar? The lie is wonderfully versatile. It brings success, protects friendships, and makes life easier. It even boosts self-confidence, and in the greatest need, one can even lie to oneself.

The adult education course »Gar nicht lügen ist auch keine Lösung« offers insights into the history and theory of an astonishing cultural achievement. It touches on the 10 commandments, makes stops at Baron Munchausen and the Potemkin villages, eventually landing in the dazzling world of fabricated doctorate degrees, optimized profile pictures, and fake news. And since every insight is only as valuable as its utility in everyday life, lying will be diligently practiced with the course participants.

The actresses Heike Feist and Astrid Kohrs explore with much wit and depth the phenomenal cultural achievement of lying.

B. - Ein Tanzstück von Tiago Manquinho

B.
A dance piece by Tiago Manquinho
SPOTTED - Network for Dance Guest Performances in Lower Saxony

"We do not see things as they are, but as we are." (Talmud)

It is a human basic need to find beauty in everything - in others, objects, places, and moments. Our evaluation is based on feelings, not objectivity. But where can we find beauty when everything around us seems so gray and dark? So sad and depressing. Every day, the perspectives of a beautiful, shiny future seem further away than before. One crisis after another, one threat after another. Every day we see more terrible things than beautiful ones.

In times of uncertainty, this piece encourages us to critically question our ideas of beauty. Our ideals shaped by commerce and power are not universal. Why not use this time of transition to look forward and realize our closed-mindedness towards less obvious beauty? To question our aesthetic values and ideas and create space for difference, for diversity.

The first guest performance as part of the network for dance guest performances in Lower Saxony - "SPOTTED" - to which the Lessing Theater now belongs.

Ohne Rolf - Jenseitig

Without Rolf
Beyond
A surprising balancing act between this world and the beyond

What makes life worth reading? Is there an epilogue when the ink runs out? Can impressive memories fade? In the fifth piece "Beyond", the duo "Without Rolf" tackles the big questions. With their posters, they turn profoundly human subjects into easily flipped-through, absurd comedy.

Jonas Anderhub and Christof Wolfisberg have already been awarded the German Cabaret Prize and the German Kleinkunst Prize, two of the most prestigious theater awards in Germany.

"With their invented 'exquisite comedy,' they effortlessly break through all genre boundaries between cabaret, theater, and literature. Their nearly inexhaustible wealth of ideas, their pinpoint accuracy, their playful ease with language, and the philosophical depth of their programs are so surprising, imaginative, and captivating that after a program by 'Without Rolf,' one becomes addicted for more," wrote the jury of the German Cabaret Prize.

James Brown trug Lockenwickler - Wer bin ich? Gesellschaftssatire von Yasmina Reza

James Brown trug Lockenwickler
Wer bin ich? Gesellschaftssatire von Yasmina Reza
Deutsch von Frank Heibert und Hinrich Schmidt-Henkel

The teenager Jacob Hutner has been admiring the Canadian singer Céline Dion since he was six years old. What his parents Pascaline and Lionel accepted in his childhood as a harmless phase of admiration has developed into a frightening form of identity distortion. Jacob is firmly convinced that he is the singer herself and is planning his – or rather her – world tour.

Caught between helplessness and worry, the parents begin a struggle with their own values. They see no way out but to "cure" Jacob in a psychiatric facility. There, Jacob meets the Frenchman Philippe, who believes he is a black man from the USA despite his light skin. A special friendship begins.

Yasmina Reza, born in Paris in 1959, is a writer, director, and actress, and the most performed contemporary playwright. Her works have received numerous awards and are featured on stages worldwide. The play "God of Carnage" was filmed in 2011, starring Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, and John C. Reilly.

Post von Karlheinz - Wütende Mails von richtigen Deutschen

Post from Karlheinz
Angry emails from real Germans
Based on the book by Hasnain Kazim

It is not surprising that Hasnain Kazim, born in Oldenburg and son of Indian-Pakistani immigrants, receives hate-filled reader mail as a journalist, especially since he writes about sensitive topics and has a foreign-sounding name. What is surprising, however, is his reaction to these submissions. Instead of simply dismissing the rants of the angry senders, he responds cleverly and humorously, leading to enlightening dialogues.

By sharing excerpts of this correspondence on social media, Kazim has built an enthusiastic fan base. In the Lessing Theater, Lucca Züchner, Thorsten Krohn, Thomas Schweiberer, and Bijan Zamani will read and perform texts, chat logs, and email exchanges from Kazim's bestselling book.

Hasnain Kazim was born in 1974 in Oldenburg and grew up near Hamburg and in Karachi, Pakistan. He studied political science and pursued a career as a naval officer. Between 2009 and 2019, he worked as a correspondent for Der Spiegel in South Asia and Turkey. He now lives as a freelance author in Vienna and writes for publications such as Die Zeit and Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Voodoo Lounge - Stripped – Unplugged-Konzert

Voodoo Lounge
Stripped – Unplugged Concert
Rolling Stones Tribute Band

Almost 30 years ago, the Rolling Stones recorded the album "Stripped." It was the Stones' response to the Unplugged trend. The concept was simple yet effective: the venerable rock 'n' roll band stripped down some of their greatest hits as well as lesser-known gems to focus on the essentials. Acoustic guitars are more prominent, while the electric guitars remain plugged in. An intimate club sound that is still raw and cheeky.

After over 20 years on stages across the country, the Braunschweig Rolling Stones Tribute Band Voodoo Lounge will embrace this concept for one evening. They will perform songs never played before by the band while others will sound different than ever before: stripped down, streamlined, truly "stripped."

Voodoo Lounge was initially founded in 1997 as a casual project. The band originally intended to only play a few concerts. However, as it happens, nothing lasts longer than a makeshift plan. Over 20 years have passed, and their sound, outfits, and stage presence are as authentic as they come, rivaling only the originals.

Altes Land - Nach dem Roman von Dörte Hansen

Old Land
Based on the novel by Dörte Hansen
A touching and humorous North German story

Two women with eventful lives, both on the run and searching for a home, a family: Vera Eckhoff flees as a little girl with her mother on foot from East Prussia. They strand on a farm in the Old Land, where they are not very welcome.

Among apple and cherry trees, in rough weather, and amidst distrustful villagers, mother and daughter work hard on the old farm south of the Elbe. When her mother leaves her for a better life in Hamburg, Vera remains alone in her new home, which should always remain strange to her. After many years, two seekers of home suddenly stand at the door of the old thatched-roof house again: Vera's niece Anne with her young son Leon, who want or perhaps must leave behind life in Hamburg-Ottensen.

Dörte Hansen, born in 1964 in Husum, worked as an editor and author at North German Broadcasting after studying linguistics. Her debut "Old Land" was named the favorite book of independent bookstores in 2015 and became the bestseller of 2015 on the Spiegel bestseller list.

Erschütterungen: Was unsere Demokratie von außen und innen bedroht - Eine Lesung mit Bundespräsident a.D. Joachim Gauck

Shocks: What threatens our democracy from outside and within
A reading with former Federal President Joachim Gauck

The Russian invasion of Ukraine threatens our liberal democracy at a time when it is also under pressure from within. How did this come about? Former Federal President Joachim Gauck, together with his co-author Helga Hirsch, explores the question of why the trust of many citizens in our liberal democracy has been shaken. What threatens our democracy from within? What role do authoritarian and libertarian tendencies play in times of crisis? How much immigration can a democracy tolerate?

At the same time, he examines why today we are faced with the shattered remains of an Eastern policy that for too long only focused on the principles of "peace before freedom" and "change through trade" in relation to Russia. In a very impressive and sometimes personal way, Joachim Gauck shows how in recent years many certainties about the stability of our democracy have been lost – and how we can succeed in defending our liberal freedoms in the future and actually becoming a defensive democracy.

The book "Shocks: What threatens our democracy from outside and within" by Joachim Gauck and Helga Hirsch was published by Siedler-Verlag in May 2023.

Following the reading, the former Federal President will be signing books.

Jewish Chamber Orchestra Hamburg - Musikalisch-literarische Stolpersteine mit Gesine Cukrowski

Jewish Chamber Orchestra Hamburg
Musikalisch-literarische Stolpersteine mit Gesine Cukrowski
Erwin Schulhoff | Hans Krasa | Pavel Haas

The "Jewish Chamber Orchestra Hamburg" was founded in 2018 with the idea of re-establishing a Jewish chamber orchestra in Hamburg after more than 80 years. Back then, in 1934, it emerged as a result of the exclusion of Jewish musicians from public life. However, the ensemble was only able to perform four concerts before it had to be disbanded due to the prohibition of Jews from working.

The current ensemble now pursues the goal of both remembering the horrific times of National Socialism and introducing Jewish culture and music to a broad audience. It plays not only works by Jewish composers but also, like the original orchestra, a diverse classical repertoire from Baroque to modern times.

The event series "Musikalisch-literarische Stolpersteine" connects music with texts about Jewish life and commemorates the unjustly forgotten works of composers who were persecuted during the Nazi era and perished in concentration camps.

Mephisto - Der Pakt mit dem Teufel | Schauspiel mit Musik nach dem Roman von Klaus Mann

Mephisto
The Pact with the Devil | Play with Music based on the Novel by Klaus Mann
Adaptation for the Berliner Ensemble by Till and Chris Weinheimer | Editing by Kai F. Schrickel

The (fictional) story of the actor Hendrik Höfgen, who became a celebrated star in the "New Reich," is told.

Höfgen, who only later comes to terms with the power holders of National Socialism, initially flees to Paris. However, Lotte Lindenthal, the wife of the Prime Minister and herself a mediocre actress, desires Höfgen as her partner for her Berlin debut at the state theatre. She persuades her husband to bring the gifted artist back to Berlin. Höfgen, for whom the role of Mephisto in Goethe's "Faust" is like a second skin, realizes far too late that he has indeed made a pact with the devil. An actor torn between career and conscience. Culminating in the famous line: "I am just an ordinary actor!"

"Mephisto," written in exile in 1936, is regarded as a key novel about the actor Gustaf Gründgens. The film adaptation with Klaus Maria Brandauer won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1981.

How to Date a Feminist - Eine wundervolle Komödie von Samantha Ellis

How to Date a Feminist
A wonderful comedy by Samantha Ellis
Two actors share six roles | Translated into German by Silke Pfeiffer

Kate is into machos, Steve is a feminist. He grew up in a women's protest camp, while she was a sheltered only child in a suburban London home. Kate's father thinks Steve is too "different," and Steve's mother believes Kate is materialistic and unliberated.

Still, Kate and Steve find each other irresistible—and end up in a witty comedy, where the two performers swiftly shift roles, poking fun at the complexities of relationships and traditional gender roles: How do feminism and a weakness for jerks go together? What does it say about someone if they don’t find their partner’s insistence on consideration and respect particularly erotic? And can a man really be a feminist?

In fact, Kate’s and Steve’s marriage falls apart at the wedding celebration—and it takes both of them a tremendous leap over their own shadow to finally become a proper couple in a furious finale.

Samantha Ellis's wonderfully humorous masterpiece on the burning issue of feminism today and the question of who is the more unblemished feminist in this pair, the woman or the man?

Olaf, der Elch - Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte über die wunderbare Freundschaft zweier Einzelgänger nach dem Buch von Volker Kriegel

Olaf, the Moose
A Christmas story about the wonderful friendship of two loners based on the book by Volker Kriegel
Ages 4 and up

Olaf has it tough. As a moose with an oversized antler, he can only ever run crookedly through the trees in the forest. To make matters worse, after being teased by two bears, he crashes into a tree and is left with just a shovel. Now he can't even apply as a Christmas moose. But behold! For Olaf, his one-shovel life also has its upsides, and when he encounters the one-eyed Santa Claus, the two become an unbeatable team.

Volker Kriegel (1943-2003) was a German jazz musician, illustrator, and writer. In 1999, his successful picture book "Olaf, the Moose" was published, followed by two more volumes.

From 4 years old

Olaf has a hard time. As a moose with an oversized antler, he can only walk through the trees in the forest at an angle.

Alice im Wunderland - Nach dem Kinderbuch von Lewis Caroll

Alice in Wonderland
Based on the children's book by Lewis Caroll
Ages 9 and up

"I'm late! I'm late!" are the last words Alice hears as she follows the white rabbit and falls through a hole into Wonderland. Upon arriving in the underworld, her adventure begins. Alice encounters a smoking caterpillar, a tea-drinking mad hatter, and a grinning cat. Escaping from this crazy society, she reaches a strange royal court with playing card soldiers and an authoritarian queen of hearts.

Alice fearlessly confronts the queen. With the power of her imagination, the young heroine confidently navigates the twisted paths of Wonderland. Through her encounters with all the absurdity and paradoxes of this world, Alice's confidence, self-assurance, and courage grow.

Lewis Carroll – actually Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and a mathematician – was 30 years old when he took a boat trip on the Thames with his dean and his daughters Lorina, Edith, and Alice. To entertain the girls, he started telling them about the adventures of a little girl. In 1863, he gave the manuscript of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" to the "real" Alice as a Christmas gift.

Die Konferenz der Tiere - Nach dem Roman von Erich Kästner

The Conference of the Animals
Based on the novel by Erich Kästner
For ages 7 and up

The world is turned upside down, one crisis follows the next. In search of the right solution, people organize conference after conference. But Giraffe, Elephant, and Lion think that all this talking is not getting them anywhere. So they decide to convene a conference of the animals. One representative from each species will attend, and the conference will only happen once.

Animals from all directions and continents come together: they swim, run, crawl, and fly to the animal skyscraper. The motto is: "It's about the children." A livable world should be preserved for them. Can this succeed when so many different habits have been developed in the water and in the air, in the desert, in the jungle, or in the ice?

Erich Kästner (1899 to 1974) develops in his novel published in 1949 the utopia with much warmth and humor that all creatures can live together peacefully.

Animals from all directions and continents come together: they swim, run, crawl, and fly to the animal skyscraper. The motto is: "It's about the children." A world worth living in should be preserved for them. Is this possible when in water and in the air, in the desert, in the jungle, or in the ice, so many different habits have developed?

Erich Kästner (1899-1974) portrays in his novel published in 1949, with warmth and humor, the utopian idea that all beings can peacefully coexist.

The Wizard of Oz
Based on the children's book by Lyman Frank Baum

Dorothy lives on a farm in Kansas with her aunt and uncle. One day, a tornado sweeps across the land – and Dorothy, along with her house and her beloved dog Toto, is carried away. She lands in the fairyland of Oz, where she is joyfully welcomed by the Good Witch Glinda. And because her house destroyed the Wicked Witch of the East upon landing, Dorothy is allowed to keep her magical shoes. Glinda sends Dorothy to the Emerald City to see the great Wizard of Oz: He alone has the power to help her get back home.

Together with her new friends – the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion – Dorothy must endure many exciting and wondrous adventures. Finally, they arrive in the Emerald City. But does the mysterious Oz really want to help them?

"The Wizard of Oz" tells a timeless story that has thrilled generations of children and adults. A magical, poetic, fairy-tale colorful theatrical experience about self-confidence, curiosity, courage, and the unyielding power of friendship.

Christoph Maria Herbst & Moritz Netenjakob - Das ernsthafte Bemühen um Albernheit

Christoph Maria Herbst & Moritz Netenjakob
The Serious Effort for Silliness
Two humor workers read their favorite satires and chat.

One of them is among the most popular TV and film actors in Germany. The other is a bestselling author and cabaret artist. And both have many things in common: They love fine satire, quick role changes, and Loriot.

On this exclusive evening, they not only chat about their passion for intelligent humor - they also provide the audience with plenty of samples of satirical writing culture: Whether it's sketches by a certain Vicco von Bülow or an apology letter that Herbst wrote to his religion teacher as a student; whether it's sarcastic texts from Netenjakob's pen or live excerpts from Herbst's favorite audiobooks; whether it's scenes from Netenjakob's successful novel "Macho Man" or from the cult series "Stromberg."

When Germany's most successful audiobook narrator (Herbst) joins forces with a "gifted impersonator" (Kölner Rundschau about Netenjakob) behind the microphones, a variety of voices and humor tones can be expected, which in this combination is certainly unique.

Axel Hacke liest und erzählt - »Aua! Die Geschichte meines Körpers«

Axel Hacke reads and tells
"Aua! The Story of my Body"

Axel Hacke's latest book is called "Aua! The Story of my Body." Like all his books, it is clever and funny, comforting and enlightening, and also highly personal. It delves into questions like: What is it like to live with a ringing in your ear for fifty years? How can an invitation to the "Literary Quartet" lead to a knee injury? How does one break a bone while meditating?

The book explores the infirmities, but also triumphs, of a man's body in the second half of the sixties – and the immense, never-ending wonder at its functioning. Hacke offers insights into the mundane and mysterious, humorous and dreadful, beautiful and repulsive.

Because his readings are never just about one book but about all of them and everything, he also shares the most amusing texts from his entire body of work.

Born in Braunschweig in 1956, Axel Hacke lives as a writer in Munich. He is famous for his column "Das Beste aus aller Welt" in the Süddeutsche Zeitung. His work has been honored with awards such as the Joseph Roth Prize, two Egon Erwin Kisch Prizes, the Theodor Wolff Prize, and most recently, the Ben Witter Prize.

Chris Hopkins »Swinging Christmas« - Deutsche und internationale Weihnachtslieder im elegant-swingenden Gewand

Chris Hopkins »Swinging Christmas«
German and international Christmas songs in an elegantly swinging style

Equally skilled at piano and alto saxophone, Chris Hopkins is one of the busiest artists in the international jazz scene – not least as the leader of the successful ensemble »Echoes of Swing« for over 20 years, celebrated internationally for its innovative approach to jazz tradition. He is also celebrated each year for his very special Christmas program.

Hopkins leads – bypassing all the depths of Christmas aesthetics – through the "joys of life" of Christmas Day and brings all the good gifts one wishes for at Christmas, such as taste, lifestyle, and swing.

"The five musicians and the singer transform not only well-known Christmas melodies but also many other compositions far from Christmas into classic, soulful swing. (...) The mix of popular and lesser-known melodies is not without reason reminiscent of Christmas-swinging jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and Dean Martin."

Rudelsingen
Singing makes you happy - even more together
With Simon Bröker and Maximilian Saul

Since 2011, the "Rudelsingen" - the cult format born in Münster for singing along - has been celebrating its triumph throughout Germany. Ten teams regularly inspire over 10,000 singers nationwide in more than 100 cities each month.

People sing together - in the group - and are accompanied live by two musicians, with the lyrics projected onto a screen. Singing along becomes pure pleasure. The repertoire is diverse. From Schlager to rock, from current radio hits to evergreens, there is something for everyone. And the best part: Everyone can participate, no prior knowledge is required.

Each evening is unique, as the audience creates its own special concert experience through singing together. Whether it's Robbie Williams, Herbert Grönemeyer, Die Toten Hosen, Die Ärzte, Johannes Oerding, The Rolling Stones, everything live in one evening.

Shortly before Christmas, the biggest pre-Christmas hits from around the world will of course be on the program.

Nordic Christmas - Helene Blum und Harald Haugaard mit Band

Nordic Christmas
Helene Blum and Harald Haugaard with Band

Helene Blum and Harald Haugaard are among the most sought-after Danish names in Modern Nordic Folk. Their program "Nordic Christmas" celebrates the special atmosphere of the Nordic winter with authentic and lovingly selected pieces and stories.

Since 2005, the duo has been successfully performing in Denmark and Germany with constantly new programs. This year, they are joined by the young, talented violinist Lena Jonsson from Sweden, as well as the Swedish guitarist Matthias Pérez. He is considered one of Sweden's best folk musicians, and she is an emerging violinist, both enriching the evening with a masterful display of sparkling sound. The ensemble is completed by the two permanent members of the band: Kirstine Elise Pedersen and Sune Rahbek.

With great skill, the musicians tell stories of those small moments, and in between the notes, the audience sees traces in the snow, hears goblins giggling, reindeer trotting. Time seems to stand still – until the next drum roll starts, and a lively dance begins.

A true piece of pre-Christmas happiness!

Stoppok - Solo

Stoppok - Solo

Stoppok is a singer, musician, German-speaking singer-songwriter, and a fantastic guitarist. His music is a unique blend of folk, rock, rhythm and blues, and country. He sings with subtle humor about the adversities of everyday life and consistently positions himself as a critical observer of his surroundings.

What started in the early 1980s with street music has led to over twenty albums throughout his career, making him well-known and repeatedly honored in the entire German-speaking region.

Stoppok has a talent for addressing fundamental questions and problems of our time in often personally tinted stories through his songs, creating a natural connection between the private and the general. He turns everyday language into poetry that creates images of touching directness. In his songs and concerts, the not-at-all silent observer focuses on attitude and values. Equally important to him as the lyrics is the perfect rhythmic connection of language with music.

Written on the Wind - Ein Dialog zwischen Michael Rettig (Klavier) und Clovis Michon (Cello)

Written on the Wind
A dialogue between Michael Rettig (piano) and Clovis Michon (cello)
Contemplative nature videos by Jobst von Berg

"Written on the Wind" is based on the ancient romantic idea that nature is more than just a collection of things, and that when we "listen" to it, we are also listening to ourselves. Passing by streams and fields of wheat. On narrow paths. In the forest, under trees. Above us, clouds, birds, and the wind that was there before we were. Our memories, our desires, our worries, our thoughts – they dissipate with the wind.

Michael Rettig and Clovis Michon follow in the footsteps of a contemporary romanticism. Their music seeks the points of contact between minimalism, avant-garde, classical chamber music, and song – Melodious, lyrical, poetic.

In 2023, they were already guests with their program "The Sea."

The pianist and author Michael Rettig lives in Bremen and Havelland. He studied music, German studies, and art in Tübingen and Bremen, gives concerts, and directs music theater projects. Along with French-born cellist Clovis Michon, he performs thematic concerts for which he also composes the music.

By and with Thomas Borchert and Navina Heyne

What would James Bond be without the amazing title songs? We not only associate them with great cinema, but also with the musical spirit of the time in which they were written. From the 'Swinging Sixties' to the 2020s, the Bond songs have always been a part of music history.

Thomas Borchert and Navina Heyne, both big James Bond fans, embark on an exciting musical journey and, together with the "Shaken Not Stirred" band, charmingly and with a twinkle in their eye, bring the well-known Bond characters together on stage.

Thomas Borchert discovered the piano at the age of four. After studying at the Stage School of Music, Dance & Drama, he has played numerous leading roles in musicals throughout Europe to this day. The title role for the premiere of the musical "The Count of Monte Cristo" was specially written for him by Broadway composer Frank Wildhorn.

Navina Heyne studied at the Bavarian Theater Academy August Everding in Munich. She was a semi-finalist in the prestigious singing competition of the Kurt Weill Foundation in New York and was awarded the Roswitha Ring at the Gandersheimer Domfestspiele.

My Fair Lady
Musical based on Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" and the film by Gabriel Pascal
Book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner | Music by Frederick Loewe | German translation by Robert Gilbert

According to an ancient Greek legend, the sculptor Pygmalion created a statue of a woman so beautiful that he fell in love with it. The goddess of love, Aphrodite, brought the statue to life and gave her to Pygmalion as his wife.

The writer George Bernard Shaw transformed the sculptor into the eccentric phonetics professor Henry Higgins, who takes in the poor London flower girl Eliza Doolittle and molds her to his liking.

Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe created from this plot what is probably the greatest musical classic of all time: "My Fair Lady" has rightfully become an indispensable part of German musical stages, having won six Tony Awards, three Golden Globes, and eight Oscars.

Küss langsam - Der große Komödienerfolg zum Thema »Geschlechterkrieg«

Kiss Slowly
The great comedy success on the topic of "gender war"
Comedy play

In movies and on television, love stories always end at the moment of highest happiness: embrace, deep gaze into the eyes, long kiss, great sex, and then – cut. Unfortunately, we never find out how the dream couples we envy cope with the subsequent everyday relationship challenges. The bitter truth is: they don't cope. Just like everyone else, dream couple or not. And so, the dreamy romance of Michael and Jennifer Ehnert also ends up in front of the divorce judge.

Sadly, the feuding couple must wait two more hours before an official end is drawn to their marital war, as there is a whole hall of divorcees ahead of them in line. Ample time for the two rose warriors to review how it all began – and how it all fell apart.

The audience witnesses a ludicrous love affair with verbal bullets along the way, dialogue like landmines, and a seemingly endless stream of meanness and insults. All the while being supported and undermined by the latest findings from couple research.

Neujahrskonzert - An der schönen blauen Donau

New Year's Concert
On the beautiful blue Danube
Göttinger Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Nicholas Milton | Polina Tarasenko on the trombone

Johann Strauss' music exudes lust for life and inspires celebration, waltzing, and swinging - perfect for a cheerful start to the year.

In 2025, the "Waltz King," whose melodies are considered the first hits in music history, celebrates his 200th birthday. For this good reason, Chief Conductor Nicholas Milton dedicates a magnificent concert program with world-famous hits such as "On the Beautiful Blue Danube" or the "Emperor Waltz" to the composer, who overnight became a symbol of an entire era with his Göttinger Symphony Orchestra.

While the Strauss family intoxicated Vienna with waltz evergreens, the Danish composer Hans Christian Lumbye wrote no less thrilling gallops, mazurkas, polkas, and marches, including "Copenhagen Steam Railway Galop" and the "Champagne Galop."

The New Year's Concert promises melodies that will enthuse, and when the Ukrainian trombonist Polina Tarasenko virtuously presents her instrument with Ferdinand David, Camille Saint-Saens, and Giacomo Puccini, no one will remain seated.

To balance his work-life equilibrium, the stressed successful lawyer Björn Diemel - at his wife's request - must attend a mindfulness seminar by the therapist Joschka Breitner. By applying the practical lessons, he realizes that he has not only found a tailor-made solution for his personal problems but also for his professional ones.

Author Karsten Dusse skillfully and entertainingly plays with the crime genre and masters the art of black humor. In this stage version, an actress and an actor accompany the defense attorney in eighteen different roles as he attempts to embrace and meticulously follow the learned rules of mindfulness.

Karsten Dusse, born in 1973, lawyer, award-winning TV comedy writer, screenwriter, and non-fiction author. His debut novel "Mindful Murder" became the best-selling paperback of 2020. His work has been honored with the German Television Award, the German Comedy Award, and the German Audiobook Award.

"On every page, there is tension, unsolicited advice, and gallows humor... Only a lawyer can do that. And no one does it as well as Karsten Dusse." (Jan Böhmermann)

WASIHRWOLLT - Nach William Shakespeare

WASIHRWOLLT
After William Shakespeare
From 14 years

The shipwrecked Viola strands on the coast of Illyria and disguises herself as a man for protection. As Cesario, she enters the service of Duke Orsino and conveys his love vows to Countess Olivia. However, the countess immediately falls in love with Viola*Cesario, whose heart beats for Orsino. And when Viola's long-lost twin brother Sebastian appears, the (love) confusion is complete.

Who am I and if so, why? In "WASIHRWOLLT," nothing is as it seems and no one is what they claim to be. Shakespeare's comedy of errors playfully breaks down gender assignments and raises questions about (gender) identity, sexuality, and the meaning of life.

The production was awarded the Cologne Dance and Theater Prize 2023.

Brodas Bros - Atemberaubende Musik-, Licht- und Breakdance-Show aus Katalonien

Brodas Bros
Breathtaking Music, Light, and Breakdance Show from Catalonia

The new show is called "Doji," which means simultaneously in Japanese. "Brodas Bros" and "Desilence" have joined forces to create a piece in which visual interaction and dance come together simultaneously. An inner journey, where each piece that makes up the show expresses a natural state.

"Doji" is danced between light and shadow. A brutal landscape, immersed in color, rhythm, light, music, and dance. The "Brodas Bros" enlighten this space with their movement. Each piece is an ode to the different types of light, a celebration of the colors and shadows that surround us and prevail within us. Opening a door to reflect on what we are and how we move in this world of light and shadow.

In 2006, brothers Pol and Lluc Fruitós founded "Brodas Bros" and turned their knowledge of Urban Dance – Popping, Locking, Breaking, Hip-Hop, and Contemporary Dance – into their profession and passion. Together with sisters Clara and Berta Pons, they have created numerous globally successful shows.

vision string quartet - Kammerkonzert eines Streichquartetts mit Visionen

vision string quartet
Chamber concert of a string quartet with visions
Winner of the OPUS KLASSIK 2020 as the best string quartet recording

They play without sheet music and standing up, passionate about both classical and jazz: the four young men are excitingly different. With their unique ability to 'wander' between the classical string quartet repertoire, their own compositions, and arrangements from the realms of jazz, pop, and rock, the four young musicians from Berlin are turning the classical concert world on its head.

Their concert formats are diverse: The string quartet, which also sees itself as a band, performs in classical concert halls such as the Elbphilharmonie. They collaborate with ballet companies, perform concerts in light and video design, or 'dark concerts' in complete darkness.

The four musicians completed their chamber music studies with the "Artemis Quartet" in Berlin and with Günter Pichler, the leader of the "Alban Berg Quartet," at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid. They are prize winners of the Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Competition, the Concours de Genève, and the Jürgen Ponto Foundation.

Doppelte Spaßbürgerschaft - Kabarett mit Fatih Çevikkollu, Anissa Loucif und Salim Samatou

Double Fun Citizenship
Cabaret with Fatih Çevikkollu, Anissa Loucif, and Salim Samatou

Host Fatih Çevikkollu skillfully juggles German and Turkish prejudices, reservations, and fears. Can integration and international understanding also be simply funny? Of course, they can. Fatih makes it possible. On stage with him are two more guests:

Anissa Loucif is a comedian from Berlin. Half Algerian, half German. Part-time doctor and part-time comedian. She knocks people out, at least when she has her anesthesia drugs with her. As an anesthetist, she puts people to sleep, with her comedy, she does the exact opposite. She grew up with Muslim parents and Christian grandparents between Eid al-Fitr, Christmas, and nudist beaches.

Salim Samatou, the master of improvisation. With breathtaking speed and insane changes in perspective, he captivates his audience, is disarmingly honest, and doesn't shy away from direct words. Original and quick-witted, he interacts with his audience, and one thing is certain: When Salim is on stage, there are no rules, no boundaries, no taboos.

Stolz und Vorurteil *oder so - Nach Jane Austen, von Isobel McArthur

Pride and Prejudice *or something
After Jane Austen, by Isobel McArthur
German translation by Silke Pfeiffer

The survival of the Bennet family is at stake. Mrs. Bennet has five unmarried daughters - all of marriageable age. However, only men can be heirs. That's why she is determined to marry off her daughters as well as possible. When the wealthy Charles Bingley announces a visit to the neighborhood, salvation seems within reach.

At a ball at the neighboring estate, the daughters must do everything to catch Mr. Bingley's attention: dance, sing, and seduce. But not everyone is on board. Elizabeth prefers reading novels, Mary can't sing at all, and Mr. Bingley doesn't react as enthusiastically to the advances as expected. But he has brought his friend Fitzwilliam Darcy along.

Five actresses embody almost the entire cast of the novel, which, nevertheless, remains surprisingly faithful to the story. Everything is narrated from the perspective of five maids. Amidst slapstick, pop songs, and a love story, a tale of female self-determination and economic dependence emerges. Wild, touching, captivating, and above all, very humorous.

Eines langen Tages Reise in die Nacht - Schauspiel in vier Akten von Literaturnobelpreisträger Eugene O’Neill

Eines langen Tages Reise in die Nacht
Play in four acts by Nobel Prize-winning author Eugene O’Neill
Translated by Michael Walter

The Tyrones are once again united after a long time. Father James – a formerly successful stage hero – and the older son Jamie are on theater vacation. The younger son Edmund, who suffers from tuberculosis, has returned to the family after adventurous sea voyages. The drug-addicted mother Mary has recently completed a rehabilitation program successfully. It quickly becomes clear that the outer appearance of a harmonious family life is deceptive.

“Eines langen Tages Reise in die Nacht” is a classic of modern American drama, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award in 1957. Eugene O’Neill’s famous, autobiographically tinted family drama reveals the life and suffering of the Tyrone family, whose members, trapped in their neuroses, uncover their innermost selves and their relationships with each other in the unraveling of the past.

As a “dramatic time bomb,” O’Neill’s award-winning masterpiece, set on an August day, has significantly contributed to the author’s worldwide fame.

Falk lädt ein: Das Liedermaching-Festival in Wolfenbüttel - Falk | Fee Badenius | Michael Krebs | Marie Diot

Falk invites you: The Liedermaching Festival in Wolfenbüttel
Falk | Fee Badenius | Michael Krebs | Marie Diot

After the furious premiere in Wolfenbüttel last season, songwriter Falk invites selected friends and companions whom he particularly appreciates. He himself works through the spirit of the times with absurd, contemplative, malicious, and lovingly cheeky compositions from life.

The fine humor expressed in the songs and stories of Fee Badenius feels like a well-dosed wellness massage for the soul. Her songs oscillate between longing and melancholy, between tenderness and strength, but they always have grounding and intelligent, meaningful wit.

Personal, close, and groovingly funny – an evening with Michael Krebs is an event. For 20 years now, the gifted songwriter has been on stage. Even during his music studies in Hamburg, Michael Krebs was the class clown. However, he only learned that music and irony are his personal dream team on stage.

Marie Diot makes music and nonsense, or in other words: a mix of indie pop, chanson, and a lot of fun. Her concerts consist of convoluted, funny announcements and songs that charmingly and straightforwardly tell stories about things that happen in life, with wordplay and irony.

Johann von Bülow & Walter Sittler - »Ich gebe Ihnen mein Ehrenwort!«: Die Weltgeschichte der Lüge

Johann von Bülow & Walter Sittler
"Ich gebe Ihnen mein Ehrenwort!": Die Weltgeschichte der Lüge

On average, a person lies two hundred times a day. Lies are the glue of world history. The documents that established the Papal States and made Hamburg a Hanseatic city: forged. Perhaps even half of the Middle Ages is an invention. And then the 19th century, the great era of impostors. They sell the Eiffel Tower and the city of London in pieces. Not to forget that in the 20th century, of course, nobody intended to build a wall in Berlin.

After the overwhelming success of their reading in honor of Roger Willemsen and Dieter Hildebrandt at the St. Pauli Theater in Hamburg, Walter Sittler (Hildebrandt) and Johann von Bülow (Willemsen) are now taking their entertaining search for the truth about lies on tour.

Newly arranged and gently updated, they throw scandalous untruths and insidious intrigues around. Much to the entertainment of the audience, who should be a few illusions poorer after this evening.

Johann von Bülow, born in Munich in 1972, and Walter Sittler, born in Chicago in 1952, are among the most famous German actors.

Danceperados of Ireland - Hooked – History of Irish Fishing

Danceperados of Ireland
Hooked - History of Irish Fishing

The name "Danceperados of Ireland" already symbolizes the ensemble's passion for Irish step dance. Freely translated, it means "The Dance-crazed". It's in their blood. Fishing is equally a part of the Irish DNA.

With "Hooked" - translated as addicted, on the hook, captivated or under the spell of - the "Danceperados" have created a new captivating show that combines the fascination of fishing and dancing, as well as music and singing. The songs and stories about the sea take us back to a time when people were still self-sufficient and led a simple but self-determined life. However, also a dangerous one. The sea has not only given, but often taken as well. All of this will be seen and heard. A multi-vision with historical and current images and videos combines with music and step dancing to create a total work of art for the eyes and ears.

Sabotage - Eine Tanzinszenierung von Sara Angius und Johanna Ehlert

Sabotage
A dance production by Sara Angius and Johanna Ehlert
Who manipulates whom?

"Sabotage" offers a lenient, humorously dramatic look at human nature and its pursuit of power. Dancers interact with human-sized figures within a sophisticated yet absurd power system of strings and pulleys. Without words, a surprising hierarchy of reality and illusion emerges through virtuosic movement. Who manipulates whom?

Poetic, aesthetic, brutal, profound, absurd, surprising, humorous. Human. A theater experience that defies categorization.

Sara Angius, trained at the Accademia Dance House in Milan, has been working as a freelance dancer and choreographer in Braunschweig since 2013. She has created works for both the State Theater and the independent scene, seamlessly combining contemporary dance, object animation, puppetry, and illusion in her work.

Johanna Ehlert completed her training as a stage artist at the Lido - Centre des Arts du Cirque - in Toulouse, France. She is known for her work in concept development, character design, construction, and dramaturgy. Her works have received several awards.

The Joni Project
A Celebration of Joni Mitchell’s »Songs of Blue«

Three women, three multi-instrumentalists, and singer-songwriters come together for a unique project: to revive the magnificent music of Joni Mitchell. With three strong voices and many instruments.

»The Joni Project« takes place in 2021 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Joni Mitchell's legendary album »Blue«, bringing the masterpiece in its entirety to the stage. Anne de Wolff, Iris Romen, and Stefanie Hempel dare to touch the holy grail. No album has shaped the concept of the singer-songwriter like »Blue«. In its raw self-reflection, loneliness, and vulnerability, it set new standards in the world of pop music and above all, opened doors for the female voice and narrative style.

In new interpretations and colorful instrumentations, the three musicians bring Joni's bittersweet songs to the stage in all their dark and light shades. With a lot of knowledge and humor, the musicians also tell the stories behind the songs during the live shows.

Die weiße Dame - Komische Oper in drei Akten von Eugene Scribe

Die weiße Dame
Comic opera in three acts by Eugene Scribe
In German

Avenel Castle in the Scottish Highlands is on the verge of falling into the hands of its unscrupulous steward. The rightful heir is missing, and his childhood friend can do little on her own. Suddenly, double help arrives: a lost soldier and a legendary castle ghost, the white lady. Adventurous spirit and supernatural magic join forces to fight against corruption and tyranny. And at the end of a wild race against time, after mix-ups and treasure hunts, good triumphs through the very earthly magic of love.

“The white lady,” which playfully touches upon a hint of thrilling romance, once had its firm place in the repertoires of German-speaking opera theaters. Its fading into obscurity is not least due to the vocal demands of its two main roles.

Since 2004, the Kammeroper München has stood for sophisticated music theater, audience-friendly direction and stage concepts, and unusual musical arrangements. The exceptional vocal and acting quality of the young singers is at the center, making the Munich opera ensemble a forum for the promotion of young talent.

The Eternal Philistine
Based on the novel of the same name by Ödön von Horváth
Stage adaptation by Michael Stacheder | Ages 15 and up | Graduation Theme 2025

Munich, 1929. The Great Depression dominates everyday life. In satirical sketches, we get to know different examples of the type Philistine – always conformist, always acting selfishly, according to Horváth. Such as Alfons Kobler, a not particularly sympathetic car salesman who invests his more or less ill-gotten money in a trip to Barcelona. Anna Pollinger, an unemployed seamstress and former lover of Kobler, who decides to offer her services for money. The unemployed Josef Reithofer, who is also a "wretched swine," but still wants to do something good. They are all united by the fact that they somehow adapt – to a world where humanity plays only a minor role alongside greed for profit, reputation, and success.

Horváth's first novel from 1930 is brimming with irony, as indicated in the subtitle "edifying novel." The world-famous author episodically, pointedly, and intelligently paints a vivid and impressive picture of a human type that endures through all times.

Munich, 1929. The Great Depression dominates everyday life. In satirical sketches, we get to know various examples of the type bourgeois – according to Horváth always conforming, always acting selfishly. Like Alfons Kobler, a not particularly likable car salesman who invests his more or less illicitly obtained money in a trip to Barcelona. Anna Pollinger, an unemployed seamstress and former lover of Kobler's, who decides to get paid for love services. The unemployed Josef Reithofer, who, although also a "nasty piece of work," still wants to do something good. They all share the fact that they adapt in some way – to a world where humanity plays only a subordinate role next to greed for profit, prestige, and the delusion of success.

Horváth's first novel from 1930 is overflowing with irony, which is evident in the subtitle "edifying novel." The world-famous author portrays, episodically, pointedly, and cleverly, a colorful and striking image of a human type that endures through all times.

Biedermann und die Brandstifter - Ein Lehrstück ohne Lehre von Max Frisch

Biedermann und die Brandstifter
Ein Lehrstück ohne Lehre von Max Frisch

Mr. Biedermann is a virtuoso of gullibility. Although many fires in the city clearly show that arsonists are at work, he ignores the danger. He even deliberately plays with fire when he takes in two strangers. Although he soon realizes that the two men are arsonists who want to set his villa on fire, he allows himself to be manipulated by them due to his own fears, insecurities, and passivity.

The play reveals a mentality that aids the success of totalitarian techniques. "Biedermann und die Brandstifter" is a political parable that derives its critical power not from exposing lies but from the Biedermeier defenselessness against criminals who, from the very beginning, say what they really want.

The Swiss writer Max Frisch (1911 – 1991) became world-famous with works such as "Andorra" and "Homo Faber." After working as an architect, he made his literary breakthrough in 1954 with the novel "Stiller." Frisch is of great significance for German-language literature of the 20th century.

Die Tanzstunde - Romantische Komödie von Mark St. Germain

The Dancing Lesson
Romantic Comedy by Mark St. Germain
Translated into German by John Birke

Ever Montgomery urgently needs to learn how to dance for an award ceremony. However, he detests any form of physical contact. As a professor of geosciences, he suffers from Asperger's syndrome, a specific form of autism.

Upon the advice of the janitor, he approaches his neighbor, Senga Quinn. She is a dancer, but after a leg injury, it is questionable whether she will ever dance again in her life. So, Ever offers her $2153 for a dance lesson. Initially, Senga rejects this offer as "immoral". However, curiosity eventually triumphs, and they begin their lessons.

Quickly, absurd situations develop between the mismatched pair since Ever takes everything Senga says literally and panics when it comes to first touches, which are unavoidable while dancing.

Mark St. Germain has written a very amusing and touching comedy about two lonely souls who can barely keep the same rhythm but eventually both become brave and remarkably close.

The musical story of a first love
Based on the novel by Peter Härtling | For ages 8 and up

For Ben and his friends, the school routine offers an unusual experience when "the New Girl" joins their class. Her name is Anna, and she and her family have moved here from Poland. Anna speaks differently, looks different, and seemingly behaves differently from everyone else.

Her new classmates greet her with mixed feelings - a mixture of rejection and curiosity. Ben feels the same way. On one hand, he is drawn to Anna, but on the other hand, he also finds some things about her strange. When she is teased by his friends, Ben defends her. And thus, it is said: "Ben loves Anna." At first, he resists because he is embarrassed, but somehow it is true. It's clear: Being in love is beautiful, but also difficult. There's excitement, feeling hurt, jealousy, arguments with friends, and the big fear of being laughed at.

The first love, dealing with social differences, and having the courage to stand by one's own feelings are the main themes of this production.

Provocative Inclusion Comedy

With the goal of social equality, comedian Martin Fromme pokes fun at disabled and non-disabled people alike. Germany's only asymmetrical comedian sings, reads, improvises, includes, and provokes with great skill. He is not only empathetic and authentic but also cheeky.

In his solo program "Lucky Hand," Martin Fromme proves that people with disabilities don't always have to be handled with kid gloves. With a lot of self-irony, the comedian addresses important and unimportant questions of life and pokes fun at himself. As the possible inventor of the Chinese lucky cat, he seeks solutions for politically correct terms for little people or the question of whether wheelchair users can also be ramp hogs.

Born in 1962, Martin Fromme is a comedian, author, moderator, and actor.

Cum-Ex Papers - Eine Recherche zum entfesselten Finanzwesen

Cum-Ex Papers
An investigation into unleashed finance
Awarded the German Theatre Prize "Faust" 2019

"We offer you a deal. We give you 100 euros. You give us back 200 euros. Sounds like a bad deal? Welcome to the world of criminal tax fraud!"

On October 18, 2018, nineteen media outlets coordinated by the independent research center "Correctiv" simultaneously released the largest tax robbery in European history: The "CumEx-Files." As part of this collaboration, the theater project "Cum-Ex Papers" premiered on October 25, 2018. For a year, journalists from twelve countries conducted research in secret. They uncovered how investors, banks, and stock speculators enriched themselves at the expense of the German state to an unprecedented extent. At least 55 billion euros were illegally refunded as tax to the participants through carousel transactions.

Based on the research results, the multimedia production tells a gripping economic thriller about the parallel society of an unbridled financial system. In 2019, the production was awarded the Faust Theatre Prize in the category of Directing Theater.

Ich hab da so ein Gefühl - Nach dem Bilderbuch von Katharina Grossmann-Hensel

I have this feeling
Based on the picture book by Katharina Grossmann-Hensel
For empathizing, rejoicing, and feeling angry | For ages 4 and up

Fear, anger, joy, sadness are just a few of the emotions that every person, regardless of age, feels. Often we manage to sort our feelings directly into the right drawer and give them space. But what exactly do you do when anger wells up inside you or joy starts to tickle in your stomach?

Do you spit everything out loudly or swallow it quietly? And what if you don't even know what it is that you are feeling right now? I feel something, but I don't know what. For some feelings, the right word simply hasn't been invented yet.

Theater Karo Acht interweaves biographical stories with motifs and themes from the successful picture book to create a collage with a lot of feeling(s). Karo Acht is a professional children's and youth theater from Hildesheim, founded by graduates of the Cultural Education program. Since 1999, Theater Karo Acht has worked closely with the Theater für Niedersachsen.

Koffer auf Reisen - Über das Reisen, das Leben – und das Ankommen

Suitcase Travels
About traveling, life - and arrival
From age 8

Two people, traveling to different destinations and as different as day and night, suddenly find themselves facing each other. Fully packed, they find no way past each other and get tangled in the chaos of their belongings. Soon, neither of them knows whose luggage belongs to whom and what exactly is inside each one. They clash with each other and realize in their wild quarrel that arguing with each other can be a way to better understand each other.

Director Deborah Krönung tells with "Suitcase Travels" not only humorously about quarreling but above all about how beautiful it is to meet other people, to be open, and to let oneself be surprised by life.

"A cleverly orchestrated psychodynamics sets the dramaturgy. And when it seems to dry up, Deborah Krönung surprises with pointed directing ideas that provide a great theater experience." (Kölnische Rundschau)

Die drei ??? – Signale aus dem Jenseits - Basierend auf einer Geschichte von André Minninger

The Three Investigators - Signals from the Beyond
Based on a story by André Minninger
Stage adaptation by Axel Schneider | Recommended for ages 12 and above

Making contact with the dead? The three investigators - Justus Jonas, Peter Shaw, and Bob Andrews - don't believe in it. But that's exactly what the mysterious fortune teller Astrala seems to achieve. The three detectives follow her trail and find themselves in the crosshairs of an extremely mysterious criminal.

Author André Minninger is well versed in "The Three Investigators." His collaboration with the cult crime series began in 1983 at the legendary Studio Europa and since then, he has successfully worked as a book and screenplay author for the three famous detectives.

"Johan Richter plays the lovesick Bob, who increasingly doubts his sanity, with wonderful nerdy charm. Baran Sönmez portrays the clever Justus with amusing meticulousness. And Hannes Träbert captivates as the athlete Peter in a mix of vitality and defiance. (...) The play ignites from the start and is accompanied by many laughs. Yet, the direction by Lea Ralfs also manages to build up the drama of a psychological thriller at times." (Hamburger Abendblatt)

Die Entführung aus dem Serail - Singspiel in drei Akten von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Die Entführung aus dem Serail
Singspiel in drei Akten von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto von Johann Gottlieb Stephane

The young Spanish woman Konstanze, her English maid Blonde, and the servant Pedrillo were abducted during a pirate raid and sold into slavery. They end up with Bassa Selim, a native Spaniard who was once Christian but is now a Muslim. To free the prisoners, Belmonte, Konstanze’s fiancé, plans a secret operation. He is discovered, but there is no punishment. To everyone's surprise, Bassa Selim lets both couples go.

Mozart accompanies his heroes with great musical love through hope, joy, and sadness, making this play a vibrant lesson that tolerance and humanity are the keys to peaceful coexistence.

The Singspiel premiered on July 16, 1782, at the Vienna Burgtheater and was a commissioned work for Emperor Joseph II. The aim was to establish a national Singspiel in the vernacular as a counterpart to the Italian-dominated court opera.
