Between homesickness and wanderlust, music resonates. (With a new album in tow!!)

Yes – Ronja caused a huge media stir in 2022 when she was denied a performance due to her hairstyle. Udo Lindenberg awarded the music poet the Panik Prize for German newcomers a year earlier. In 2023, she received the promotion award for young songwriters from the Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung.

Ronja plays cello, ukulele, piano, and tells stories of being on the road and poetry through her music. While she sets Hermann Hesse's works to music and quotes Astrid Lindgren, she floats from one instrument to the next, her distinctive voice invites tears, her stories invite laughter, and her band family calls for dancing.

They all switch instruments, from piano, drums, bass, multi-part vocals, to the electronic island of various synthesizers. Above the stage, a circular projection surface hovers, where moving images, words, and colors underscore the music. Each song becomes a unique work of art in this highly dynamic, deeply moving show.

After Ronja met her Argentine music partner Fede in Italy in 2018, they traveled together through over 20 countries and set foot on more than 400 stages in different band configurations. Their three studio albums testify to wide musical journeys, whose songs they translate into multilingual variations.

“Will we ever arrive one day, somewhere? At a place where time stands still and wanderlust turns into homesickness.”

“Fifteen men on the dead man's chest, ho ho ho and a bottle of rum!” A monotonous inn, a majestic sailing ship, and a mysterious island – the air is filled with the scent of sea, fish, rum, and freedom.

Jim Hawkins accidentally finds a mysterious treasure map in his parents’ inn – and the adventure of his life begins. Together with his friends, Jim embarks on a dangerous journey. For they are not the only ones on the sailing ship after the legendary gold treasure of the notorious pirate captain Flint. Flint's half former crew has also signed on to the ship, including the one-legged Long John Silver with his talking parrot. The sea is far less dangerous than the greed of the men on board.
Upon arriving on the island, after many battles and complications, the treasure is truly found – but in a way no one expected…

In 1880, Robert Louis Stevenson drew a treasure map while playing with his stepson, which fascinated him so much that he wrote his world-famous novel based on that drawing. Just as lovingly as the treasure map, Stevenson depicted locations and characters in his classic: the heroic Jim Hawkins, the seasoned Long John Silver, and all the other quirky and eccentric figures.

DIE SPARMASSNAHME

The elevator was supposed to take all three of them up. But then it gets stuck.
Annoying for Erwin, managing director of a company located in the building. He has an appointment and is expecting an important call from the doctor. Maja can't afford this either. She has another job interview. It’s more than inconvenient for Esther, because as so often lately, the daycare is closed. And no one can pick up her child.
The disruption lasts longer than expected. The property management cannot be reached. They are cutting costs in every corner. How are Erwin, Maja, and Esther supposed to get out of this?

The new play by Corinna Huber and Peer Mia Ripberger could not be more topical: Infrastructure is crumbling, the economy is weakening, and municipal coffers are empty. A satirical text about financially frosty times, containing some unexpected twists.

PUSSY RIOT is a Russian protest art collective based in Moscow.
The political situation in Russia became increasingly repressive in 2022, making it crucial to give a voice to the protests of the PUSSY RIOT collective, especially abroad. National critical media are banned, FB and IG have been shut down in Russia, and protesting while holding the book "War and Peace" leads to a four-week prison sentence. Stalinist methods have made their way into Russia, and for many critical voices, the only options left are flight or imprisonment.

Maria Alyokhina and Alexander Cheparukhin are working on a bold new version of "Riot Days." This version focuses on Maria's personal journey following her release from Russian prison in 2022:
- The protests of Pussy Riot, including their clash with Cossacks during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi
- Attacks by Kremlin-friendly groups
- The story of Alexey Navalny, his arrest, imprisonment, and murder in prison
- Maria's multiple arrests
- Putin's invasion of Ukraine

Doors open: 19:00h

Women need men and vice versa! Actually a truism. But when the woman mows the lawn and the man accompanies her with a parasol, something is not right. Despite all gender equality, modern women also long for positive masculinity. But not with primitive macho behavior like "can you cool my beer with your cold feet", but with male clarity, determination, and decisiveness. On the other hand, men nowadays stand in the bathroom in the morning and think, "Underwear on the right way - daily goal achieved."

The dilemma: without masculinity and femininity, there is no sexual attraction. And so everyone resigns to the fact that besides the espresso machine, the dildo is now part of a well-equipped household, while men are more occupied with pornography than with their wives. Following the motto: "Whet the appetite elsewhere, starve at home." How times have changed. We used to have no sex before marriage, now there is no sex in marriage. Can we turn back time? How can we have more togetherness? Do I need a helmet for that?

Many things have been turned upside down in our days, no stone is left unturned. People used to be smart, and phones were dumb, now it's the other way around. One thinks, "Lord, let brains fall from the sky. Or rocks. Just make sure you hit."

Stephan Bauer's new program is a ray of hope. The insane rescue from false gender ideals, exaggerated ideas of happiness, and the loss of orientation that modern times bring along.

A microphone, a barstool, and two hours of punchlines after punchlines. And for the audience, two hours of laughter without a break. Just the "big Bauer."

no shame in hope (eine Jogginghose ist auch kein Schicksal)

Three women, a snack bar, and a world full of contradictions: Luca, Carla, and Linn have left their time in the psychiatric clinic behind and are now waiting for the bus that is to take them to a new life. With currywurst, fries, and conversations about wounds and the ever-present taboo of mental pain, they pass the time. The bus stop they gaze at is strangely desolate. What is the deal with the mysterious deer grazing there and drinking beer? Or could it be a Nazi? While the three women hope for their happy ending, the past of the always slightly drunk BRD pushes into the snack bar.

With quirky wordplay, Svealena Kutschke addresses the absurdities of everyday life and the hope for a better outside. Personal and political narratives intertwine and create a contemporary image of our society.

If someone fails as grandiosely and comically in thoughts, words, and actions as Waghubinger, all he can do is to keep getting up, give himself a push, and sit on the barstool again. Since planning for the future has never really worked out for him, this time he looks back and a little to the side. The best stories, for which this character is loved, are told once again and intertwined with new anecdotes and attempts to explain, creating a roller coaster of emotions. Waghubinger thinks and talks in a way that barely touches reality, making it sometimes clearer to see than in the theater of one's own world.

The famous mirror he holds up this time is a broken rearview mirror from parking, and those who want can see themselves, the world, or simply another Waghubinger in it. Philosophical grumbling and loving banter.
