Flic Flac, Germany's leading organizer for acrobatics and action, will perform in Dresden for the first time next year after the great success in Erfurt and plans to become a long-term part of the city's cultural life.

Flic Flac will set up its tents at the Festwiese Rinne in Ostragehege in Dresden. From June 19 to July 13, 2025, the breathtaking shows will take place! Visitors can look forward to a modern and air-conditioned tent landscape, impressive light and sound effects, as well as international artists.

Flic Flac has been thrilling audiences all over Germany for over 32 years with its shows. From the very beginning, the company has refrained from using animals. The show is a unique blend of artistic feats, breathtaking stunts, comedy, and a captivating atmosphere that transports the audience into a world full of magic and excitement.

Unfortunately, the event has been canceled.

… here so much fun and enthusiasm is played, sung, and danced that it is a joy to experience it … (SAX) As if King Arthur didn't already have enough worries with bad weather, cheeky Frenchmen, and constantly new plagues, he now receives a mission from Above to find the Holy Grail. And so the Knights of the Round Table stumble through the most peculiar adventures. They overcome the Black Knight, the vicious rabbit, and the desperate Herbert. God drives them further in their quest for the Grail, and the knights sing and dance their way through the incomparably quirky and captivating musical scenes. Monty Python’s "Spamalot" parodies with cheeky wit the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in search of the Holy Grail. Motifs from "The Holy Grail" are intertwined with songs like "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." Inventively staged, imaginatively presented, played, sung, and danced with great joy and humorously quirky humor, the musical made its way to the stage of the TheaterRuine ... in the end, no one is left untouched and not a single eye is dry.

When subtle literature and masterful organ improvisation engage in dialogue, a special conversation unfolds: unpredictable, varied, and stimulating. Sounds respond to words; language inspires music. Thoughts captured yesterday produce new, free sounds today. Together, they create a picture of tomorrow. This is also the case when, on this evening near the summer solstice – the longest day and shortest night of the year – literary and musical twists take center stage. Prepare yourself for a program that will touch, surprise, and provoke reflection.

Choruses and instrumental ensembles of the Saxon State High School for Music Dresden under the direction of Prof. Natalia Prishepenko, Sebastian Dietrich, Prof. Uta Schmidt, Uwe Witzel, Maximilian Schmidt, Frank Hebenstreit, and others.

Before words explained the world, there was sound: the rustling of the wind, the singing of the birds, the murmuring of the streams. This song slumbers to this day in all things – in the stillness of a summer evening, in the rhythm of our everyday life, and in the music that moves us. Following in the footsteps of Joseph von Eichendorff, young musicians embark on a search for the "magic word" that brings the world to life and inspires composers across generations. With works from Johann Sebastian Bach, through Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, to the songs of "Queen," they prepare their audience for a resonant summer.

GENERATION XY UNGELÖST
Fast-paced young cabaret about an ancient conflict
What times! Everywhere there is division and chasms. One conflict is as old as humanity itself: old against young, young against old. Baby boomers rant against Generation Z, traditionalists can't relate to millennials, and the youngest Generation Alpha is desperate because they don't even know who they are supposed to be against yet.
And some wonder: Which generation am I actually? What if I like wearing beige at 18 and think Horst Lichter is great? What if I film TikTok videos and play ego shooters at 70?
But as soon as the smoke of the generational battle briefly dissipates, one can see here and there common views and values that don't quite fit the generational clichés. True to the motto: I am just as shocked by how old the people my age are!
After the continuous hit 'Hüttenkäse', here comes the latest creation by author Michael Frowin, who has already made this cabaret comedy a total hit in Hamburg and Frankfurt (Oder). Directed by cabaret artist Ellen Schaller. Starring: Johanna Mucha, our new ensemble member from Vienna, as well as audience favorite Mario Grünewald, who already won the hearts and laughter lines of viewers in 'Hüttenkäse'.
GENERATION XY UNGELÖST - A huge delight for every generation.

A site-specific experience between performance and installation. The path leads into the forest, into the beautiful Dresdner Heide, to explore the relationship between us humans, the wood lying around, and all conceivable possibilities of balance. Surrounded by nature, the audience experiences falling trees and balancing humans, or also falling humans and balancing trees. The balancing affects the relationship between the two performers as well as their relationship to the materials around them. And when the human has left again, wooden structures remain as fragile installations.

Klub Girko was founded in 2017 as a research lab during the studies at ACAPA - Academy of Circus and Performance Art Tilburg. Julian Vogel and Josef Stiller are looking for contemporary forms of expression outside their comfort zone. In 2021, after completing their studies, Josef Stiller continues the experiment together with Moritz Grenz.

Idea: Josef Stiller, Julian Vogel | Performance: Josef Stiller and Xenia Bannuscher | Technology: Moritz Grenz

Duration: 30 minutes + hike

In this unusual pas de deux, the dancer Mijin Kim and the acrobat Leon Börgens move across an uncertain playing field. They seek the right tone in their interaction and completely trust each other. A sensitive and humorous exploration of the many nuances of interpersonal relationships.

Here, circus and dance come together, with the classically danced pas de deux literally being turned upside down. In their finely tuned collaboration, delicate and strong gestures emerge that remain in the memory. Tenderly and determinedly, the two movement virtuosos lead us to and beyond the limits of their physical resources and into their pleasurable exhaustion. The specially composed music by Simon Bauer creates plastic spaces. It builds bridges or creates chasms of sound between the audience and the pulsating bodies. Fog and light erect transparent walls that reveal what is usually hidden: An intense physical dialogue.

BLUEPRINT is the conclusion of the trilogy "Human, Hyperobject and Transformation" by Overhead Project. The company is led by circus artist and choreographer Tim Behren and has been developing its circus-choreographic vocabulary at the intersection of contemporary circus and dance for over 15 years.

Overhead Project represents performances at the boundary between contemporary circus and dance – two languages that enable different perspectives on the human body and a multidimensional approach to space and architecture. The company, led by choreographer and circus artist Tim Behren, developed from intensive acrobatic duo work with former co-founder Florian Patschovsky. Today, the artistic core team consists of composer Simon Bauer, visual artist Charlotte Ducousso, performer Mijin Kim, and other long-time performers and thinkers from various fields. Numerous productions and several guest choreographies for city theaters with large ensembles have emerged so far. The company has received a series of international awards and choreography prizes for its works, including the Tabori Award from the Fonds Darstellende Künste in 2022 and most recently the Cologne Dance Theater Prize 2023 for "What is left."
