«Make Democracy Great Again!» is a funny, biting, and stirring plea for the rescue of democracy. Sarah Bosetti offers politicians communication tutoring, invents the most beautiful fake news, writes thoughtful demo posters, and shows why it is a privilege to be able to stand up from the couch.

The Barbarians Barbies are witty, funny, touching, and sometimes even angry – but in any case, they are truly great artists! They passionately and forcefully dedicate themselves to the ideas of femininity, dissecting male roles and female images with raging humor, joy of life, and wonderfully shocking absurdity. One might picture the five circus performers as a mixture of Berlin underground cabaret and the Vegas Spice Girls – or even as superheroes in a completely different way: quirky, astonishing, artistic, cabaret-like, and refreshingly outrageous, although you might also just learn how to fry the perfect egg.

Ticket sales end approximately 3 hours before the event starts. In case the event is sold out: Occasionally, guests have one ticket too many. We will try to offer these at the box office. Waiting lists will only be created at the box office.

Ida Nielsen's music can best be described as a mix of old-school funk and hip-hop with world music influences, catchy melodies, and lots of bass. Together with her band "The Funkbots," she delivers an energetic funk show full of good vibes, tight grooves, and subtle references to her former employer and teacher, Prince.

The Barbarians Barbies are witty, funny, touching, and sometimes even angry – yet in every case, they are truly outstanding artists! They dedicate themselves with fervor and force to the notions of femininity, dissecting male roles and female images with raging humor, zest for life, and wonderfully shocking silliness.

Have you ever been responsible for something being broken, and not just the object, but also a relationship suffering great damage because of it? The shared world has shattered because of it. The play, which premiered in Weimar in 1808, reconstructs a night of crime, during which a person broke a jug. And this is likely based on a historical fact. In a courtroom, all parties involved gather, diving into the events of the last night, showcasing how attempts are made to shirk responsibility. Before our eyes, a universe of possible pasts emerges. How did it happen that the jug was broken on that night? The story of the village judge Adam is serious, very serious. Did he blackmail Eve, did he rape her, and does he want to absolve himself? Does he truly want to judge himself despite all the evidence against him from the very beginning? This exemplary piece of courtroom drama is a bitter "comedy." DER ZERBROCHENE KRUG can serve as a symbol for a broken life.

For all people aged 14 and over who are concerned that courts are being corrupted, that selfishness prevails, and that people are defrauded of their rights.

The engagement with one's own queer_lesbian* identity is an endless research project – a search along the traces inscribed in literature, activism, friendships, relationship concepts, and (documentary) art. These memories are a loud scream. A scream that runs through the bones of those who refuse to acknowledge the undeniable diversity of gender, desire, and relationship forms, and whose corset is too tight for the fluidity of queer_lesbian categories. To hear and preserve this scream means solidarity and resistance. What anchor points still exist that connect today's generation with their older comrades through history?
Why do we have to form bands to know who we are?

A theater evening for all people aged 15 and up who wish to follow the traces of queer_lesbian (experiential) life with curious eyes and understand the necessity of community and archives as a playground for identity discovery.

*queer_lesbian is used as an umbrella term for individuals who do not operate within a cis-male dominated dating context and outside binary gender assignments.

Konstantin Wecker
Der Liebe zuliebe – a literary-musical evening

Sometimes combative, sometimes contemplative, sometimes gentle – always passionate: This is how the audience knows and loves the poet and musician Konstantin Wecker. He is not only a gifted songwriter but also an important voice of a whole generation. An unyielding admonisher and fighter against war and fascism. With his songs and texts, he has been advocating for justice and peace for many decades and for a more mindful, loving coexistence. With his new book Der Liebe zuliebe (bene! / Droemer Knaur) – Konstantin Wecker takes stock of his life.

Der Liebe zuliebe – a book about a lifelong search: for meaning, for the “more than everything,” for the great mystery, for love, for paths to inner and outer peace. For Wecker, love is the key to making life successful. And for the world to become different, to become better.

Konstantin Wecker does not shy away from including the dark times in his new book: Depression, melancholy, alcohol addiction, drug highs, numerous crashes, delusions, anger, sadness. He writes about a decades-long search and a turning point at the edge of the abyss.

A moving book from the pen of one of the greatest song poets of our time, who gives courage to tens of thousands of fans again and again to believe in the good and to stand up for the good.

“I finally wanted to become the one I sing about in my songs: the tender one, the peaceful one, the loving one, the listening one. One who knows what is essential.

The daily meditation, the people who supported me, the many good conversations, the music, wonderful texts from old mystics – they have done me well. Without the return to the power of spirituality, I probably wouldn’t have managed to take a new path. I wrote this book to invite everyone who struggles with similar problems and the question of the meaning of our existence to embark on the path to a more fulfilling life. Perhaps in the advanced age of my earthly life, this book has also become a kind of first testament... With sober reflection, I look at the essence of being and naturally have a desire and joy for new things and so much more. I am grateful to have written a letter at the beginning to my long-deceased father.”
Konstantin Wecker

With his new stage program, Konstantin Wecker will, together with Jo Barnikel (piano, keyboard) and Fany Kammerlander (cello), excitingly intertwine his new book with his musical work and make Der Liebe zuliebe a unique experience; full of music, poetry, mysticism – and love.

Two figures want to do their job: painting a bleak picture.
That is their task. They are supposed to work in the midst of a theater space, filled with mysterious suitcases, the props of the puppet play that will soon have its premiere here.
The two also want to celebrate. And play for sure. There must be something in the suitcases to play with!
They take a look at it first, and behold: Who can think of work with so much toy around?
We're going on a journey now...

A king had a daughter who was beautiful, but very proud. She mocked and insulted all her suitors. As a punishment, her father married her to a beggar. Through living with the beggar, the princess learned humility and to appreciate the value of hard work. In the castle of King Drosselbart, the princess recognizes in King Drosselbart her husband, the beggar. From then on, they lived happily together, and if they haven't died... well, you know how fairy tales end. The production is carried by an inclusive ensemble, in which actors with and without disabilities perform together on stage. The play is suitable for people aged 3 and up and is aimed equally at children, families, and everyone who wants to rediscover fairy tales.
