Based on the novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, translated by Alexander Nitzberg, in a version by Natalie Baudy

The devil is causing chaos in Moscow. Literally. While he and his entourage educate the corrupt and opportunistic society there with absurd punishments, Margarita hopes that her lover, the Master, will finally reappear. However, he, driven to madness by the devastating critiques of his novel, has checked himself into a psychiatric hospital where half of Moscow has gathered since the arrival of the devil, Woland.

The detailed narration of his novel about Pontius Pilate and his most famous judgment gradually becomes part of the plot, while the Master becomes part of Moscow's reality. Meanwhile, Margarita connects with the intermediary world. She is invited by Woland to be his queen of the ball and experiences a spectacular infernal festival of a different dimension. How does a person behave in the face of evil? Does love bring redemption or only death? House director Matthias Köhler stages Bulgakov's iconic novel about the forces of good and evil, and cowardice as the greatest sin. A grand opening of the season with the whole ensemble!

Doping - Komödie von Nora Abdel-Maksoud

Comedy by Nora Abdel-Maksoud

Only at the market does the quality of a thing reveal itself. No matter if the thing is a hospital, a government, or an idea. BAM.
The human body is always also organic capital. Life is always also an economic function. BAM. Patient, money, patient, money. Don't come to me with your health insurance card! You are not a Return on Investment! BAM. #FDPimmelbrühe. Who posted that crap? Everyone here is fucked! Fucked from stress! Everyone here stumbles from one breakdown to the next!

Nora Abdel-Maksoud, multiple award-winner for her hard-hitting comedies marking the madness of social politics, recently made a splash with Jeeps and discounts. In her new stage blockbuster, three FDP politicians, a nurse, and a doctor ride the neoliberal horse to death. Only works with doping, of course.

Hugo, das Kind in den besten Jahren - Familienstück nach dem Roman von Christine Nöstlinger

Family piece based on the novel by Christine Nöstlinger, in an adaptation by Michael Isenberg and Bérénice Hebenstreit

Hugo may look like an adult, but he is, in fact, a child in the best years. The doctor says there’s no hope for him to grow up. Hugo lacks seriousness and dignity. But he doesn’t really fit in with the other children either. Moreover, Hugo no longer wants to follow the meaningless rules of the adult world.

Anyone who is not an adult but also no longer a child is a puzzle. But does everything always have to be explainable? And don’t all have the same rights – even the most fantastical outsiders? It would be great to have a place where one can be old and young at the same time. Perhaps Grandma Rabbitzky, who as an old hare has a lot of fighting spirit and is a little crazy, knows what to do. Luckily, Hugo has a real friend, enough imagination, and the courage to assert his right to be different.

With our own stage adaptation, we tell Hugo’s story for children aged 6 and up, adults, and of course, especially for all children in the best years!

Beyond – Wie Licht entsteht (UA)

by Andreas Schäfer

Death = End, right? Is there perhaps a state, a world afterwards? Even an architecture of the beyond with entrance gates, transition zones, and the shimmering expanses of infinity? What happens when the main switch is flipped and the light goes out? Does the soul really separate from the body or are these comfort stories of the living born from the pain of the unfathomable? How to continue living in despair? Does hope have a place? Where are we anyway? In the empty parquet? In the hospital room of an intensive care unit? In the limbo of doubt and speculation? In "Beyond – Wie Licht entsteht" only one thing is clear: Two people grapple with mortality while the space around them transitions into a cosmic sound and light world.

Andreas Schäfer, who gained recognition with the novel "Das Gartenzimmer," recently published "Die Schuhe meines Vaters" about the dying of his father.

An installation evening about final questions and the hellishly difficult art of saying goodbye.

Nora oder Wie man das Herrenhaus kompostiert - von Sivan Ben Yishai

by Sivan Ben Yishai, translated from English by Gerhild Steinbuch

145 years ago, a man named Henrik Ibsen invented a woman named Nora. Since then, she has haunted the stage as an icon of resistance against patriarchy and its greatest imposition: the degradation of the female human being to wife and mother.

In "Nora or A Doll's House," the happy ending looks like this: Nora leaves her asshole husband, disregards her children, and shits on the house where she is mistress. Applause for Nora! But who applauds Helene, the maid? Who Anne-Marie, the nanny? Oh, you don't know them? No wonder, they are just minor characters; they are just completely ordinary people with little significance and little text, and that could be cut too.
Overshadowed by the heroic glow of the icon Nora – shining star of white feminism – the minor characters lead their modest shadow existence. Wordless or mute, they perform the work in the master’s house, keep the shop running, prepare the ground for Nora, on which she will then stride out into freedom.

Sivan Ben Yishai, one of the most renowned contemporary playwrights, brings the shadow personnel to light. In her remix of Ibsen's drama, everyone who was never allowed to speak in Ibsen now has a voice. It was about time!

Doping - Komödie von Nora Abdel-Maksoud

Comedy by Nora Abdel-Maksoud

Only at the market does the quality of a thing reveal itself. No matter if the thing is a hospital, a government, or an idea. BAM.
The human body is always also organic capital. Life is always also an economic function. BAM. Patient, money, patient, money. Don't come to me with your health insurance card! You are not a Return on Investment! BAM. #FDPimmelbrühe. Who posted that crap? Everyone here is fucked! Fucked from stress! Everyone here stumbles from one breakdown to the next!

Nora Abdel-Maksoud, multiple award-winner for her hard-hitting comedies marking the madness of social politics, recently made a splash with Jeeps and discounts. In her new stage blockbuster, three FDP politicians, a nurse, and a doctor ride the neoliberal horse to death. Only works with doping, of course.

Nora oder Wie man das Herrenhaus kompostiert - von Sivan Ben Yishai

by Sivan Ben Yishai, translated from English by Gerhild Steinbuch

145 years ago, a man named Henrik Ibsen invented a woman named Nora. Since then, she has haunted the stage as an icon of resistance against patriarchy and its greatest imposition: the degradation of the female human being to wife and mother.

In "Nora or A Doll's House," the happy ending looks like this: Nora leaves her asshole husband, disregards her children, and shits on the house where she is mistress. Applause for Nora! But who applauds Helene, the maid? Who Anne-Marie, the nanny? Oh, you don't know them? No wonder, they are just minor characters; they are just completely ordinary people with little significance and little text, and that could be cut too.
Overshadowed by the heroic glow of the icon Nora – shining star of white feminism – the minor characters lead their modest shadow existence. Wordless or mute, they perform the work in the master’s house, keep the shop running, prepare the ground for Nora, on which she will then stride out into freedom.

Sivan Ben Yishai, one of the most renowned contemporary playwrights, brings the shadow personnel to light. In her remix of Ibsen's drama, everyone who was never allowed to speak in Ibsen now has a voice. It was about time!

Ich, Akira - Monologstück für einen Hund mit einer Frage

Monologue piece for a dog with a question by Noëlle Haeseling and Leo Meier

People love their dogs. Dogs love their people. Akira is a dog, and he loves his human, Attila.
Attila adopted Akira as a puppy from the animal shelter, pampered him, and raised him, washed him, brushed him, petted him, did everything for him. "Even my poo my Papa Attila took care of," says Akira, and how he was present at every important event of Papa's: when Papa opened his first vegan snack bar, when Papa wrote his third vegan cookbook, when Papa publicly advocated for animal rights and organic food, when Papa attached a Reich flag to the hood of his Porsche and cruised around the area with it, when Papa shouted something about Hitler into a megaphone at a rally, when Papa got insulted on Instagram ("Hirsehitler," "Avocadolf"), when Papa received his first criminal complaint, when Papa ran away to Turkey. Attila Hildmann. Vegan, self-made man, anti-Semite, racist. Beloved human and Papa of Akira.

A dog speaks, we listen. In the end, he will ask us a question that is profound.

Ewig Sommer (UA) - Tanz und Schauspiel nach Motiven aus dem Roman von Franziska Gänsler

Dance and theater based on motifs from the novel by Franziska Gänsler

A young hotel owner is holed up in a former spa resort. She hasn't had guests in a long time, as the fires in the nearby forest rage on, each summer more intense and longer than the year before.

Unexpectedly, a young woman appears in the deserted place with her daughter. For the hotel owner, the visit is both a welcome change and a cause for concern: Something seems off about the strangers. What are they fleeing to a place like this? Can the reticent woman with her mute daughter be trusted? Is the heat and isolation not too dangerous for the child?

As the forest burns and protests are held at the nearby climate camp, the two women grow closer. Until a strange caller inquires about the visitor and calls the honesty of their relationship into question. Franziska Gänsler's atmospheric novel serves as the foundation for an evening that combines music, theater, and dance to tell a story about urgent questions of our time.

Bonaparte - The QUIET

On 30.05., the King of Rock & Roll returns with his fourth album. It is named after the artist himself: BONAPARTE. And here we undoubtedly have the most successful BONAPARTE album in the discography. BONAPARTE has become a high-energy, spicy chili plate fueled by Mexican cuisine. A Kalamazoo guitar, an animalistic drum, and a few synthesizer touches from Nerdywood drive us through wild adventures with arrogant garage rock roughness, remorseful power pop schubidu choruses, and BONAPARTE's typical spoken word in the tradition of Napoleon XIV from the bubbling subconscious of a Rock&Roll madman.

Endspiel - In Kooperation mit Theater Waidspeicher Erfurt und dem internationalen.figuren.theater.festival

by Samuel Beckett, German translation by Elmar Tophoven
in cooperation with the Theater Waidspeicher Erfurt and the international.figures.theater.festival

In a decaying civilization, four people have established a more or less tolerable existence with each other. A web of dependencies chains them together: Hamm can neither see nor stand, Clov cannot sit. Hamm possesses the last supplies. But without Clov, who works for him, he would be completely helpless and unable to survive. Hamm's parents, Nagg and Nell, live in trash cans because they no longer have legs. Nevertheless, the memory of a loving togetherness echoes in their relationship. Are these four what remains of humanity?

Beckett's dystopian stage world follows its own rules and blurs the line between tragedy and comedy. The characters are reduced to their mere existence, which makes human behavior patterns and the resulting societal phenomena stand out even more clearly. In Moritz Sostmann's productions, people interact with puppets. Their interdependent play sharpens the view of the power dynamics between the characters. Who actually controls whom here?

Sophie Hunger - "Walzer für Niemand" - Lesung & Lieder

Presented by Bayern 2, Der Schallplattenmann:

“Every time I start recording, I think about how I can transfer the energy of the concerts into the studio,” says Sophie Hunger. Anyone familiar with the captivating live qualities of the singer and her band knows that this is no easy task – which Hunger has now impressively accomplished.

The international success of the albums “Monday’s Ghost” (2008) and “1983” (2010), hundreds of concerts in Europe and North America, as well as various awards have solidified Hunger’s artistic confidence. She is not only able to embrace new challenges but actively seeks them out.

“A heart that beats must repeat itself.” In her lyrics, the imaginative author strives for increasing clarity, whether she is telling imaginary stories or taking stock of the state of the world. The pieces from The Danger of Light process concrete experiences as well as thought experiments. “I take what is swirling around in my head; often it’s just an image or a word that I let grow, like a mushroom.” Rererevolution imagines a person who desires a revolution so much that they imagine it. The Swiss-German Z’Lied before the Statue of Liberty paints what the statue, as a monument that is naturally the opposite of free, would sing. In Perpetrator and Souldier, Hunger immerses herself in extreme thought worlds, sometimes speaking from the perspective of a shooter, sometimes addressing a soldier she actually met after a concert in London. Holy Hells delights in the idea of declaring a secret as sacred and then still standing in the rain afterward. LikeLikeLike captures the euphoria of infatuation, while the ballad Take A Turn is a plea for heading towards new shores. Das Neue also addresses constant change but takes an ironic turn in the chorus: if everything is constantly changing, I too cannot remain as I am.

This will for movement and change runs like a sublime leitmotif through Sophie Hunger's new album.

Doors open: 7:00 PM
