“Too little to live, but too much to die.” Germany is getting older. Some already speak of the: “Eternal Old Man.” The city is bustling, while the countryside has lost its spark and some think: “No rooster crows for us anymore. I think a horse kicked me; everyone is hoarding and is merely sheep for our mice. They’re crazy, those political tigers; those greedy monkeys!”
Some are as hardworking as bees, but because someone has stepped on a lice, they are made into snails. There’s definitely something rotten! And in the meantime, the little livestock only causes trouble, breeds like rabbits, and buys cats in bags. They must be a bit loopy. Some funny bird is already shouting: “I’m a star, get me out of here!” But be careful; the next big deal is already lurking. And what is the blue elephant doing in the china shop?
Come to the conference of the Sa-animals and choose your new king of the foolish.

The house ensemble of the Leipzig Central Kabarett (FKK – Free Cabaret Culture Leipzig) André Bautzmann, Robert Günschmann, Jan Mareck, and Martin Joost
present to you an animalistic cabaret evening.

This event is part of the 6×22 contingent. Choose six in-house events for a total price of €132. More information can be obtained at our box office.

Special program 30 years of MAGDEBURGER ZWICKMÜHLE
with Marion Bach, Heike Ronniger, and Hans-Günther Pölitz

The MAGDEBURGER ZWICKMÜHLE is turning 30 years old. In the past, this would simply have been called a company anniversary. Today, it is said that it has been on the market for thirty years. And on this market, one is sold. Either for foolishness or according to its market value. And this has its price. For example, the "Leipziger Löwenzahn" and the "Cabinet Prize." Both in Saxony, the "Reinheimer Satire Lion" in Hesse, the cabaret prize "Cornichon" in Franconia, thus Swiss... This can be looked up on Wikipedia. But with awards, it is known to be a tricky business. The wise philosopher V. Olksmund once said: Orders and bombs always hit the wrong people. Whether the praise in our case hit the right ones can be seen by almost a million viewers in 59 programs and eight thousand performances every evening on stage.
30 years of MAGDEBURGER ZWICKMÜHLE – this is since its birth on 29.02.1996 at 8 PM: three years of Helmut Kohl, seven years of Gerhard Schröder, sixteen years of Angela Merkel, four years of Olaf Scholz, and 42 weeks of Friedrich Merz. Provided he lasts that long. For chancellors come and go – but the MAGDEBURGER ZWICKMÜHLE remains.
Whether Kohl, Merkel, Scholz, or Schröder: Nothing has improved, but... as Erich Kästner once described: "Almost everything has changed, and almost everything has remained the same." For not only cabaret, but problems also call: "Da sind wir aber immer noch"! And so the 60th program is a satirical time journey to laughingly remind us of the past in the present, hoping to still have something to laugh about in the future.

Anna Mateur & The Beuys - Kaoshüter

CONCERT
ANNA MATEUR & THE BEUYS
KAOSHÜTER

She dances. She sings. She is spontaneous. And makes music with perhaps the coolest voice since Nina Hagen…! Anna Mateur is this magnificent, wondrous presence that eclipses everything that attempts to assert itself here as great art, small art, side art, or transitional art with her extraordinary vocal range and profoundly comical seriousness.
Anna Mateur is: special art!

She exposes the grotesque of normality, the monstrousness of mediocrity, and the connection between comfort and conformity… All this through the means of applied art: unchained songs. Covers. Songs.

An evening where the symbiosis of feeling and insight provides for the ultimate catharsis. Expect the unexpected. This is Annamateur!
The musicians alongside Anna Mateur, in varying lineups, are: Kim Efert (guitar), Samuel Halscheidt (guitar).

Anna Maria Vogt aka Anna Mateur, born in 1977 in Dresden, studied music but would have preferred to apply for graphic design or acting. Since 2003, she has been touring with her various musical formations, most recently with "Anna Mateur and the Beuys" in German-speaking countries. Widely awarded, always ready for a creative sidestep, she writes stage programs, song lyrics, and radio columns, and sketches her stories live on foil, skin, tables, and walls. Her passion lies in systems between order and chaos. Various CDs with her musicians have been released by RoofMusic. Her first book "Wehwehchenatlas" and a solo audio play CD were published by "Voland & Quist", as well as her latest live CD "Essnlassen" with Andreas Gundlach, piano, in December 2018.

"Relatively many can be serious. Only very few can do such good satire." Sebastian Blottner, Berliner Morgenpost (16.8.2017)

Awards: Salzburger Stier, German Small Arts Prize, German Cabaret Prize, Bavarian Cabaret Prize, St. Ingberter Pfanne, among others.

Niemand mag Klugscheißer

Actually, Sebastian thought he still had plenty of time with his new solo program.

But things don't always go as planned... Therefore, and for other reasons, he's moving up the premiere planned for Spring 2024 (24! yes, 24 in words) by one year!

Is he excited? Oh, you bet he is!!!

No one really knows what intelligence is exactly. But Sebastian Hengstmann may have some suggestions. And he's bringing them all. Whether it's about politics, politicians, or political issues. And more. It will definitely be funny. And even amusing. And he's not alone either. He's bringing himself along. You can't know everything by yourself. Unless you're a know-it-all. Nobody likes them, but what leaves the stage in Sebastian Hengstmann's 3rd solo program is received very well, specifically by the audience. Just like in his first and second solo programs, he adeptly and sharply navigates through the topics. The attentive viewer will surely ask themselves at some point during the program how one can remember all of this text. However, here too, a bit of cleverness is required beforehand. The art is not in remembering the text, but rather in coming up with all this nonsense in the first place.

It will be a joy once again to watch the firstborn use his knowledge to create jokes and attitude, providing an entertaining evening and not sending the audience home with a morally disturbed conscience. Nobody likes a know-it-all, that's true, but if you have the choice, then it's Sebastian Hengstmann.

30 years of MAGDEBURGER ZWICKMÜHLE – this is since its birth on 29.02.1996 at 8 PM: three years of Helmut Kohl, seven years of Gerhard Schröder, sixteen years of Angela Merkel, four years of Olaf Scholz, and 42 weeks of Friedrich Merz. Provided he lasts that long. For chancellors come and go – but the MAGDEBURGER ZWICKMÜHLE remains.
Whether Kohl, Merkel, Scholz, or Schröder: Nothing has improved, but... as Erich Kästner once described: "Almost everything has changed, and almost everything has remained the same." For not only cabaret, but problems also call: "Da sind wir aber immer noch"! And so the 60th program is a satirical time journey to laughingly remind us of the past in the present, hoping to still have something to laugh about in the future.

Da sind wir aber immer noch

Special program 30 years of MAGDEBURGER ZWICKMÜHLE
with Marion Bach, Heike Ronniger, and Hans-Günther Pölitz

The MAGDEBURGER ZWICKMÜHLE is turning 30 years old. In the past, this would simply have been called a company anniversary. Today, it is said that it has been on the market for thirty years. And on this market, one is sold. Either for foolishness or according to its market value. And this has its price. For example, the "Leipziger Löwenzahn" and the "Cabinet Prize." Both in Saxony, the "Reinheimer Satire Lion" in Hesse, the cabaret prize "Cornichon" in Franconia, thus Swiss... This can be looked up on Wikipedia. But with awards, it is known to be a tricky business. The wise philosopher V. Olksmund once said: Orders and bombs always hit the wrong people. Whether the praise in our case hit the right ones can be seen by almost a million viewers in 59 programs and eight thousand performances every evening on stage.

Simon Stäblein - Absolute Frechheit

COMEDY
SIMON STÄBLEIN
ABSOLUTE FRECHHEIT

Simon, who is referred to in the press as the meanest comedian in the country, considers himself rather as the most realistic comedian. In his third solo program, he humorously examines life and all its ups and downs. He talks about his own failures, his quirks and peculiarities, but also about his strategies for turning everyday annoyances and frustrations into something entertaining. His program deals with topics like insurmountable differences in marriage, language barriers during the mediation weekend, and the absolute despair at one's own construction site. Simon is known for being honest and not shying away from addressing uncomfortable topics and dishing out in all directions. At the end of the show, when you're still in tears from laughing, Simon reminds you to pay attention to waste separation, because after all, you are still in Germany.

Özgür Cebe - Geist ist geil

COMEDY
ÖZGÜR CEBE
GEIST IST GEIL

Whoever becomes an involuntary witness to conversations on the train, in the favorite pub, or when randomly channel surfing through reality formats on television inevitably asks themselves whether our society is becoming increasingly stupid. Meanwhile, the content on TV is as flat as the devices on which it can be received. Yes, mind is cool. And perhaps even a little cooler than before.

In an age where self-proclaimed humor and morality guardians decide what is funny and what is not, Özgür Cebe faces the headwind and embarks on a quest to uncover the reason behind this hypersensitivity.

Cebe holds the opinion that sometimes one should let things slide and forgive missteps. After all, we are all only human. Still! Because he also wonders whether common sense still holds any importance? Natural stupidity vs. artificial intelligence - who wins the race? Are the algorithms as clever as we are led to believe? “I don’t think so, because according to my streaming service recommendations, I’m a romantic axe murderer with a penchant for spaceships!” Or are reason and gut feelings today more valuable than ever?

These and many other questions are explored by the award-winning cabaret artist who has received multiple small art prizes. Because “…life is not your next post on Instagram. Life is what happens before and after the posting.”

Witty, humorous, satirical, and perhaps a bit politically incorrect. Experience an evening full of wit and truth, full of sharp quips, positive energy, and captivating punchlines, because one thing is for sure: mind is cool. Especially when you claim it as your own!

THE PROGRAM "GEIST IST GEIL" HAS ALREADY BEEN AWARDED THE "PAULANER SOLO+ 2024" (Jury and Audience Award) BEFORE ITS PREMIERE
Jury statement: "His program is a professional mix of political cabaret and current comedy - additionally, an extraordinary blend of sensitive comedy and cultural diversity."

Leipziger Central Kabarett - Ein Quantum Trotz

Children are often excused and explained to: “It’s just the defiance phase.” If they shout, throw things, or refuse to listen – “Defiance phase!” If they lie down in front of the snacks in Rewe and thrash around with all fours, making one long for an exorcist - “Defiance phase! That will pass.” Really?

When you look at humanity, it seems to be collectively in a defiance phase. We defy everything and everyone. We defy the weather, our parents, the boss, the rulers, the feeling of satiety (One more, one more!) and most of all, reason. We do it not for good reason or conviction, but just because; often despite better knowledge. But if used well, defiance can also bring about good. It can help to heal, overthrow regimes, and cope with crises.

With the license to be silly and on behalf of our humor, we defy defiance. Not because we can, but just because!

Kabarett am Muldeufer - Goethe Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten

Above all summits is peace...? Not at all! At the Weimar Cabaret, it is anything but quiet: Here, one is laughing so hard at Faust I and Faust II that they can't help but slap their thighs. The culprits are Bernard Liebermann and Thierry Gelloz: In a colorful, musical, and uproarious evening, they follow the trail of the Privy Councillor Goethe... and dare to compare his era with today.
It is clear: Everything was better in the past. Back then, today was still tomorrow and yesterday was today - inconceivable today! The Weimar Cabaret poses the important questions: Who is the modern Goethe? Why did the Privy Councillor find deaf ears with Beethoven? What would impress the poet prince more today - the artificial intelligence of machines or the natural stupidity of fellow humans?
The two word acrobats Liebermann and Gelloz tangle their tongues and strain your laughing muscles: Weimar with wit, cabaret with classics, Goethe with gags... Enjoy yourself (Erl)royally! So then: Spotlight on - or to put it with Goethe: "More light!"
