For the whole family from 6 years old

Based on Carlo Collodi by Jochen Streicher and Heinz Redmann

In this fast-paced and particularly elaborate stage musical, Geppetto, an old woodcarver from Italy, finds a rough branch of a pine tree that was struck by lightning during a storm. The old man quickly decides to carve a puppet from the wood to earn some money. But while carving, Geppetto notices the special quality of the raw branch: The piece of wood speaks and thinks like a human. Well, a particularly naughty and funny human. But shortly after the puppet is finished, it dances, sings, and talks like a little boy. Pinocchio! That is what the wooden rascal will be called. In full happiness, Geppetto wants to treat him like his own son, whom he never had. However, this proves to be somewhat difficult, as Pinocchio soon disappears on his way to school. Instead of diligently learning, he falls into the clutches of the dark puppeteer Fireeater and is robbed and tied up by a mangy fox and a street cat in the Field of Wonders. One can only imagine what would happen if the creatures of the night were to catch him. But a fairy with midnight blue hair recognizes the good in Pinocchio and promises to transform him into a real boy—with a real heart—if he learns properly and behaves decently. But shortly after, Pinocchio forgets his promise and once again believes the words of the con artist duo, the Fox and the Cat. This time, the scoundrels convince the gullible wooden boy to travel with them to the Land of Sweets and Toys. A wonderland. He quickly pays for this, as this visit ends with a donkey’s head and a donkey’s tail. Meanwhile, Geppetto desperately searches for his Pinocchio. He would never have dreamed that his cheeky wooden puppet would soon be displayed as a curiosity in a vile circus. In his desperate search for him, the old man is swallowed by a giant whale. And it is again due to the wonderful fairy that the misbehaving wooden boy loses his donkey form. Once more, Pinocchio believes the thieving tricksters, the Fox and the Cat, and ends up in the belly of the whale as well. And still, no real heart beats in his wooden chest. Well, some lies have short legs, and some long noses....

Fairy-tale and comedic elements come together to create an entertaining musical. However, the educational intent of the work is clear: Pinocchio is the child, the unfinished person, who encounters good and evil and must learn to make the right decisions. Absolutely worth seeing!

A century – portrayed as compellingly and intensely as a classic tragedy:

With the birth of Stasia, daughter of a Georgian chocolate manufacturer, in 1900 in Georgia, the first of the eight lives begins, along with the family chronicle of the Jaschis, which unfolds over an entire century, six generations, and the political upheavals of Georgia and the Soviet Union, extending into Germany in the year 2007.

Niza, great-granddaughter of Stasia, records the family history for her niece Brilka: of Stasia, who would have loved to become a dancer in Paris but leads her withdrawn Georgian life like a living anachronism until the end; of her beautiful sister Christine, who must pay for her encounter with the highest political power throughout her life; of Stasia's children, Kostja, who is a Soviet apparatchik body and soul yet never finds happiness, and Kitty, who, physically and psychologically broken, must leave the country but builds a life and career in western exile; of Elene, Kostja's wild daughter, who rebels against the rigid system imposed upon her, and of Daria and Niza, Elene's daughters, who could not be more different yet are each other's only support.

In a grand, ecstatic arc, wherein all lives, events, and decisions made are inextricably intertwined with the political major events of their respective times, "Das achte Leben" tells of betrayal, pain, adaptation, resistance, revolution, war, violence, and power, but also of love, passion, hope, and brief moments of happiness.

Nino Haratischwili has - against the backdrop of the profound history of Georgia and the Soviet Union during the politically formative 20th century - created characters in her epic that deeply embed themselves in our souls with their constant tornness and fateful intensity, resonating long afterward. In the end, the realization forms that no life escapes its history: The influence of the past on the present is indelible.

In its latest production, Kabarett academixer accompanies three women to the fertility clinic, three women from three different generations. An exceptionally appealing starting point, resulting in the dissection of both the eternally ancient and the eternally futuristic, with youth and age colliding full of hope. It is wonderful that there are always three different opinions, and it is never certain who is right or wrong.
There is no room here for overly convenient role models, barroom moral solutions, or ideological sterility. Because in the quest for self-determined life, fun should not be neglected in a sometimes compulsive society. The desire for it asserts its right, as there is still a light burning in the pants.

About power, violence, and helplessness.
The question of power is as old as philosophy itself. Should power be left to the strongest, or should a system of checks and balances be put in place? How do power, justice, and responsibility interact in each scenario? Power can be captivating, but it can also turn into violence. And as modern times show, it can migrate into the anonymous structures of the economy, production technology, and imperatives of growth. In doing so, it produces powerless individuals who are then faced with the question: what gives us power over our lives back?

About the book:

Die Herrlichkeit des Lebens
Novel | In cinemas since March 14, 2024
The international bestseller by Michael Kumpfmüller about Kafka's last love

The myth of Franz Kafka is larger than life, with his posthumous fame as a writer seemingly purchased at the cost of a largely unhappy life. But now Michael Kumpfmüller casts a bright, almost cheerful light on the famous poet and lovingly and discreetly portrays a man who finds true love in his last year and takes his life into his own hands before it's too late.

In the summer of 1923, the tuberculosis-stricken Franz Kafka, known only to a few as a poet, meets the 25-year-old cook Dora Diamant in a Baltic Sea resort. And within a few weeks, he does what he thought was impossible: he chooses to live with a woman, sharing table and bed with Dora. In Berlin, he dares to embark on this life together with her, amidst the hyperinflation of the Weimar Republic. Defying the ever-increasing prices, the changing sublet accommodations, and the suspicious parents: until his death in June 1924, Franz Kafka and Dora Diamant will not part, except for a few days.

From this true story, Michael Kumpfmüller creates a sensitive, careful, and knowledgeable love novel. He is well-acquainted with Kafka's diaries, letters, and final texts and delicately weaves them into the narrative. But he also devotes much attention to Dora's perspective, the view of the young woman in love with her enigmatic, dying husband. Thus, Kumpfmüller succeeds in crafting a deeply moving parable about life and love, writing and death.

"Michael Kumpfmüller plays high stakes when recounting the love story between Franz Kafka and Dora Diamant. But he wins, and so do the readers." Culturtipp, Switzerland

About the author:

Michael Kumpfmüller, born in 1961 in Munich, lives as a freelance author in Berlin. In 2000, his debut literary publication, the acclaimed novel "Hampels Fluchten," was released, followed by his second novel "Durst" in 2003 and "Nachricht an alle" in 2008, for which he was awarded the Döblin Prize before its publication. "Die Herrlichkeit des Lebens" became a bestseller in 2011 and was highly praised by literary critics. The novel has now been translated into 27 languages and was adapted for film in 2024 under the direction of Georg Maas and Judith Kaufmann. Recently published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch are the novels "Tage mit Ora" (2018), "Ach, Virginia" (2020), and "Mischa und der Meister" (2022).

Admission: 18:30

UNDERSTANDING OUR TIME
Immediately after October 7th, the author Sasha Marianna Salzmann (“Everything Must Be Wonderful in Humans” etc.) and the author and musician Ofer Waldman (who came to Berlin in 1999 as a member of the “West-Eastern Divan Orchestra” founded by Daniel Barenboim and Edward Said) begin a correspondence about a shaken world. What remains of old certainties? What endures in the whirlpool of opinions and positions? A dialogue emerges that increasingly becomes a touching document of a friendship: I see you, these letters say, I can do nothing, but I am here. A document as poetic as it is personal of our time (Suhrkamp).

ALICE COOPER ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL TOUR DATES FOR AUTUMN 2024 WITH SPECIAL GUEST DORO!

Alice Cooper will be back on tour in 2024. After announcing the dates for this summer at the end of last year, he is now announcing six additional performances for this October, featuring the undisputed Metal-Queen DORO!
After a successful and busy year in 2023, where he traveled across North America with 67 concerts and released his latest album "Road", he is finally bringing his new stage show back to Germany.

Cooper, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, typically spends up to six months on the road each year, presenting his spectacular stage show to old and new fans, enjoying both the performances and the audience. As the inventor of shock rock, Cooper surprises his fans time and time again with his spectacular stage show – much like in a good horror movie.

The album "Road", released on August 25, 2023, through earMUSIC, was produced by Bob Ezrin and written, composed, and recorded with his current touring band. With 12 new rock 'n' roll songs and a cover of The Who, it bridges the gap between his total of 29 studio albums, delivering everything one would expect from a classic Cooper album, and more. This time, his longtime bandmates – Ryan Roxie [guitar], Chuck Garric [bass], Tommy Henriksen [guitar], Glen Sobel [drums], and Nita Strauss [guitar] – will be joining him.

Doors open: approx. 18:30 o'clock

BLAUE STUNDE
Moderation: Franziska Meier (Uni Göttingen)
Lesung: Katharina Bach (Münchner Kammerspiele)

She was the queen of Italian poetry: Alda Merini (1931–2009) was supported by Pier Paolo Pasolini and revered by the readership. Until she was committed to a psychiatric hospital and fell silent for two decades. Franziska Meier, a literature professor at the University of Göttingen, has written the afterword to the new edition of Alda Merini's poems ("Die schönsten Gedichte schreibt man auf Steine," Dieterich'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung). Together with actress Katharina Bach, she invites you to a lyrical quest for traces.
