An artistically musical theater production developed for the stage by KulturWelt e.V. based on a story by Roald Dahl

CONTENT
"I, Willy Wonka, have decided to allow five children to visit my chocolate factory this year to show them all of my secrets and magical skills."

When this message goes viral, half the world is on the hunt for the five golden tickets. The first winners are quickly found. Even Charlie Bucket, a boy from humble beginnings, hopes to be among them.

An experience suitable for young and old, with over 50 children, teenagers, and adults from our city involved.

Suitable for ages 8 and up

Admission: 16.30

Anne Folger was born in Weimar and lives in Kirchzarten. But that doesn't matter. She travels everywhere where wishes remain open, collects raindrops on passenger forms, and bonus points on daydreams. Is being mindful lonely when divided by eight? Does cucumber juice keep dreams fresh or can one consume it directly? Where can one find real talismans? Depending on the starting point, Ms. Folger steps in as a legal representative for Pour Adeline, composes music that elevators would love, and consistently separates herself from bad moods.
Her motto: No matter where life takes place, it wants to be played!

Those who have already experienced the award-winning entertainer with keen observation skills live on stage know that her evenings are always a varied mix of cabaret, stories, original songs, stand-up, and brilliant compositions. Bright, charming, cheeky, and witty. With art in her heart, music in her belly, mischief on her mind, and a sharp tongue, this evening is above all one thing: full of promises of play!

Heinrich Del Core presents 2 hours of the best entertainment with 3 surprise guests in one evening, known and unknown quirky characters, musical greats, magicians, stand-up comedy, cabaret, word acrobats, chanson singers, and other NCette – something for everyone, enjoyable and entertaining at a high level.

The event is already sold out.

"The life is a great dream," say the heroes of this romantic play. And each of them faces an incredible decision that probably each of us has faced at least once. Freedom or stability, passion or loyalty. "We still have a lot to do before we are all covered with snow."

AND NOW HANAU? What happens next after the racially motivated terrorist attack on February 19, 2020 in Hanau, which has seared into the collective memory of the Federal Republic. Nine people are cold-bloodedly murdered that evening out of pure racist motives. Nine lives that were ruthlessly extinguished in blind rage fueled by pure hatred.

However, the reconstruction of the events raises more questions than it provides answers. How could there be an organizational failure of such magnitude? Why did locked emergency exits make it impossible for the victims to escape? Why was the emergency call center not adequately staffed? And why did the public prosecutor's office and the police show an apparent unwillingness to investigate the course of the crime?

Questions that the theater author, director, actor, and physician Tuğsal Moğul, born in 1969 in Neubeckum (Westphalia), asks. Together with the Initiative 19th February, an initiative of the victims' families and survivors, he addresses the events surrounding the night of the murder and gives a voice to the affected. To those who were still confronted with bureaucratic chaos and xenophobic resentments.

As part of a research project, Tuğsal Moğul and the initiative seek to provide the greatest possible transparency for an event that is completely opaque. They bring the reality to the stage in the form of documentary theater, creating a dignified remembrance of the act.

It is about a thorough investigation of the events and a critical examination of the actions of governmental authorities, the police, and political consequences. And, of course, it's about justice. For the victims and their families.

AND NOW HANAU aims to create a changed perspective on what happened and demands a societal process of reflection and consequences.

Premieres of Virginie Brunelle and The Blue Bride by Barak Marshall
Premiere of Eric Gauthier, Podcast Vol. 1 & 2
as well as Alejandro Cerrudo, Lickety-Split and Nacho Duato, Jardi Tancat

One year after the sensationally successful debut with RENAISSANCE, the Gauthier Dance JUNIORS present a second program of their own, consisting of two premieres, two established classics of contemporary dance, and a completely new podcast format hosted by Eric Gauthier. The original title of the concept evening was: Something old something new something borrowed something blue, as required by the good luck tradition for the wedding dress in the Anglo-Saxon world. Indeed, each of the four pieces refers to one of the four elements of good luck. Together, they are also meant to bring the Gauthier Dance JUNIORS much luck for their future in dance!

Something old: A remarkably fitting choice for the JUNIORS is Jardi Tancat (Catalan for an enclosed garden). Nacho Duato also created his choreographic debut in 1983 for a junior company, NDT 2. The atmospheric piece is named after the eponymous album by Catalan folk singer Maria del Mar Bonet, an icon of the resistance against the Franco regime. The lyrics, like the dance of the three pairs clad in earthy colors, evoke the hard peasant life, in the relentless fight against the dryness and barrenness of the Catalan soil.

Something new: Virginie Brunelle is considered one of the great hopes of Canadian dance. Those familiar with the two previous collaborations with Gauthier Dance will confirm this. The intimate, poetic group piece Beating for the concept evening Grandes Dames aimed to synchronize the heartbeats of the performers. In the passionate solo Off White for The Dying Swans Project, which she created during the pandemic via Zoom from Canada, she had a dancer run against loneliness. Her next premiere for the JUNIORS is already in the pipeline. The excitement is building!

Something borrowed: Lickety-Split comes across as relaxed despite its speedy title, and is especially very human and humorous. To the hypnotic music of Californian indie folk singer Devendra Banhart, Alejandro Cerrudo, then the resident choreographer of Hubbard Street Dance Company Chicago, sketched the encounter of three couples: sensual, mysterious, and with a touch of eccentricity. In one of its first seasons, Gauthier Dance included the piece in the program as part of the dance evening Lucky Seven in 2011. Now it is time to pass this dance jewel on to the next young theater company...

Something blue: Barak Marshall's The Blue Bride is a winking lesson about a doomed love and the dangers of naivety, blind obedience, and jealousy. In the style of a Moritat, it begins with the bride at the altar, waiting in vain for her groom, and ends with a gruesome yet comical wedding massacre. The color blue in the title refers to the psychological instability of the abused bride, who morphs into a revenger and murderer throughout the piece. Sarcastic, witty, and underscored with love songs from around the world, The Blue Bride promises to be an extremely entertaining, fast-paced tragicomedy.

In addition to the four good luck choreographies, Eric Gauthier explores in a very special new format what brings the claim "Dream Team" to life. As the host of a podcast format, he will – like in a radio show – speak about the topic of artistic collaboration in two blocks. In Podcast Vol. 1, he interviews the choreographers involved: How does the artistic approach differ in a group piece compared to solos or pas de deux? In Podcast Vol. 2, there will be conversations with the performers – the JUNIORS. How does the best collaboration in dance succeed? And when and how does the "Dream Team Spirit" arise?

A dog gets scratched behind the ears, a cat receives a bowl of cream, and a canary only needs to sit there and chirp to receive a reward. And a donkey? He works and works, and that's all there is to it. Donkey Alf feels very unjustly treated and decides to run away… Wherever children come together, the feeling of justice or injustice plays a significant role. Especially among siblings, the question of fairness, as well as fairly distributed love and recognition, often remains an important topic well into adulthood. Children embrace Donkey Alf in their hearts because he is so easy to understand.

The BEST OF HARLEM GOSPEL on Tour in Germany - Grammy Award winner Reverend GREGORY M. KELLY presents with his choir "Music and Song in the Name of the Lord"

From Harlem to the wide world. Grammy Award winner Reverend Gregory M. Kelly, who has already worked with music greats like Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross, will embark on a major tour in Germany from December 2024 to February 2025, presenting "The Best of Harlem Gospel".

Harlem - the neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan - is still famous for the heyday of African American culture in the 1920s, known as the "Harlem Renaissance," which drew legends like Louis Armstrong or Duke Ellington to this neighborhood. Even today, Harlem proudly displays its African American roots, its vibrant culture, its strong faith, and musical rhythm.

REV. GREGORY M. KELLY & the BEST OF HARLEM GOSPEL exude pure joy of life, energy, and dynamism, as experienced in every service in the churches of the New York City neighborhood. The singers of the ensemble will read like a Who's Who of the active US gospel scene. A total of nine voices that transport an indescribable atmosphere of the gospel churches in Harlem to Germany's churches and concert halls.

The two-hour program offers everything that makes Gospel music so unique, enthralling, and moving. The choir's repertoire includes both traditional and Christmas gospel songs - ranging from the famous and universally beloved gospel classics like "Oh Happy Day" and "Amen" to "Whole World in His Hands" and "Go, Tell It on the Mountain".

A gospel choir like no other gospel formation. Here, religion plays an equally important and supportive role as in the lives of Harlem's population. For nothing else is lived religion in Harlem: music and song in the name of the Lord. But no matter whether young or old, Catholic or Protestant, non-denominational or still unbelieving, everyone is welcome at the concerts.

Concert organizer RGV Event GmbH brings a piece of New York and the music from Harlem to Germany in winter.

Admission: 5:00 PM

A normal patchwork family at the southern edge of Stuttgart's city center:

"Good morning! Can someone please tell me where my bulgur salad is? - Oh, salad in the morning? Does it make you slim? You can't even tell. - Oh, what are you all doing in the kitchen when normal people come home? - Child! The boy who was here yesterday is a bad influence! - Mom! That wasn't a 'boy', that was my friend Jessy!"

One man, two generations, three women, four migration backgrounds. They all have life decisions to make: Master or loser? Finally headmaster or forever substitute teaching? Work-life balance or saving the world? Concert tour or pile of parsnips? Degerloch or New Zealand? Do we still have a future? Is there still room for something like a life dream? And who lives together with whom just because absolutely no other apartment can be found? Do we always have to go somewhere to find ourselves? Or are we already there?

"DEGERLOCH DREAMS - Whoever stays, comes out better." The next in-house production with the Renitenz Ensemble. Featuring real characters, lively scenes, and delightful music. Get ready for a piece that celebrates real life, with all its oddities and surprises. You will enjoy it!

"Honey, well ex-honey, that's family! The source of conviviality, security, and love! - A family is usually a collection of people you can't choose... "

„Fly with me! Fly with me!“, calls Albi, the alpine soaring bird, who nests under the roof of the Linden Museum during the summer months. On your tour through the permanent exhibitions, you will encounter the transparent kangaroo, hear about an extinct bird, get to know the octopus Toko, and listen to entertainment with Seraa, the elephant. Whether in pictures or clothing, made of wood, ceramics, and stone – the animals and their representations tell of the coexistence of humans and animals. This relationship is not always simple. On one hand, many animals are admired, revered, and valued as companions or domestic and farm animals; on the other hand, their habitats are being destroyed, and they are hunted or displaced.

In the exhibition, the illustrator Promina Shrestha brings the animals on the objects to life through her images. In the audio and stamp rally, you will discover together with Albi what the animals have to tell, solve puzzles, and collect stamps.

€ 4/3 incl. permanent exhibitions
Children up to 18 years free
