Suitable for ages 8 and up

Entrance: 18:30

Hey you! Yes, you! You look good. Good enough to come and see my new stage program. Actually, even better. Wow! Really, I couldn't have imagined that there are still people like you out there. You are the first person in a long time whom I could picture addressing informally. Now that we have gotten closer, I'll let you in on a little secret: You have something in your teeth. Could be spinach. Something healthy. Of course. You take care of yourself. That's great. I would really be curious to get to know you. Why not come to my program?

I'll quickly insult all the other assholes for two hours and then we can chat afterwards. It will be magical. Of course, you'll also be there!

Door opens & catering from 6:00pm

Ludwig Veit is a popular innkeeper among guests and staff. His heart beats for his inn, which has been the family's pride for generations. However, adverse circumstances force him to close the business. The tough system caterer Elvira von Spieß is already ready as the successor. Ludwig Veit has invited all regular guests to a farewell party, at the end of which the business handover is set to take place at midnight. During the celebration, a murder occurs with consequences…

The Criminal Dinner 'A Corpse at the Louvre' – this is a delicious course menu in a stylish atmosphere surrounded by an exciting criminal case, which will take place at the Hotel Restaurant Goldener Adler in Schwäbisch Hall.

We find ourselves in the Paris Louvre in the year 1958. Valérie LaVoyante, indispensable for many years at the Louvre as an art historian, has invited guests to a solemn reception. Et voilà... You are part of this illustrious, high-profile, and art-loving society when La Voyante suddenly drops a bombshell: The heart of the Louvre, the world-famous "Mona Lisa," is not entirely authentic. A forgery! This shocking news raises many questions among all attendees. Where is the real one? Who owns it and is it intact?

Unfortunately, not all attendees can experience the solution to these burning questions because shortly after the revelation, a corpse is suddenly found! There is a cold-blooded and determined murderer in the Louvre - but who is it? The Parisian police is unfortunately more than "occupied." So it is up to you to interpret the clues and expose the murderer. An exciting journey into the past and a tricky murder case await you!

The course menu will be served by the catering team at the Hotel Restaurant Goldener Adler, which will guarantee thrills for both your nerves and taste buds. The doors open at 6:30 pm – the event starts at 7:00 pm.

Doors open: 6:30 pm / Course menu and theater play are included in the price / Seating will be assigned on-site

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
The Magic Flute
for young & old

in the original German language
with narrator

The Magic Flute is the most famous, popular, and most performed German opera. The magical plot and wonderful, catchy melodies enchant both young and old. It is fair to say: The Magic Flute is the most beloved opera for children.

The opera offers children a variety of stimuli for the imagination: There is the witty, unforgettable Papageno, the wonderful love story between Prince Tamino and his beloved Pamina, the magnificent, wise world of Sarastro's Sun Temple, and the evil, dangerous Queen of the Night with her incredible coloratura drama. Also included are enchanted musical instruments, threatening snakes, and dancing animals, in a world where good triumphs over evil.

Now, a very special, beautiful version of this opera classic is coming to the stage for children aged 4 and older. The shimmering voices of the PRAGER KAMMEROPER enchant the audience with the most famous arias and ensembles of this masterpiece. The magical story is narrated by the engaging actress Melinda Thompson. In the role of "High Priestess Isira," she presents the plot in a slightly shortened, clear, understandable manner, with humor and charm.

The "Magic Flute for young & old" with soloists from the PRAGER KAMMEROPER is not only an excellent introduction to the world of opera, but also fresh and humorous entertainment created for both big and small children, yet by no means childish!

Duration 2x38min + 20min break

Doors open at 16:00

Tom, a sporty entrepreneur and millionaire in his late 50s, and his wife and former assistant Sue have invited guests for a sponsorship talk over the weekend. Their impressive estate is located high up on the mountain, in a dead zone for mobile phones. Sophia, a young art shooting star, comes from the "ghetto" just like her lover Jared. She hopes for the funding of a massive art project: "A moving mountain of trash, a burning wave of waste rolling down the riverbed. A crack. A gaping wound. The rift through the world."
The contrasts, initially hidden beneath politeness and intellectual discussions, increasingly come to the fore throughout the evening.
Alcohol flows, glasses clink, sexual attraction overcomes class differences, images and dreams of biblical plagues seem to haunt everyone like a curse. The clairvoyant housekeeper Maria observes everything distantly and already senses the end of civilization.

“170 fragments of a failed conversation,” the author calls his play in the subtitle. In a virtuoso way, he disassembles the plot and the conversations through time leaps and repetitions, interrupted by nightmares of the evening company. This creates a kind of collage of escalation and we… watch with delight.

Schimmelpfennig is considered one of the most performed contemporary German dramatists, whose plays are staged in about 40 countries.

The Stuttgart Comedian Harmonists are back – in a new musical play created just for them! In “Die Comedian Harmonists” and “Halleluja!” they have already thrilled our audience. “This boy band sings with wit!”, the Stuttgarter Nachrichten wrote at the time. Now the five young singers and their pianist are back – just in time for Christmas.

The sextet is complemented by the incomparable singer, musician, and entertainer Antje Rietz, whom you have already known as Hildegard Knef and Marlene Dietrich. Together with the Stuttgart native Birgit Reutter, she perfectly rounds off the evening. The dream combination of eight magnificent voices provides a festive treat for the whole family!

Christmas Eve in the “Hafenklause,” a small pub by the Hamburg Fish Market. Every year at Christmas, landlady Maria hosts a sea shanty competition here. From “Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins” to “La Paloma” and “Wellerman” – you will hear these hits and many other beautiful songs about the sea, longing, and coming home, arranged and performed in the incomparable style of the Comedian Harmonists.

Director Franz-Lorenz Engel, who wrote the piece based on an idea from theater director Axel Preuß, was awarded the audience prize for his productions “Honig im Kopf” and “Spatz und Engel.”

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?

Be prepared for a literary gem, discovered here only a few years ago, now dramatized on stage at the Tri-bühne Theater. Ulrich A. Boschwitz wrote an astonishing book at the age of just 23 in the face of the Reichspogromnacht. His novel "Der Reisende," written in 1938 and first published in German in 2017, humorously showcases how quickly and uncontestedly the familiar environment can turn hostile, in an almost Kafkaesque manner:

The Jewish merchant Otto Silbermann wanders through a Germany radically transformed by National Socialism and anti-Semitism at the end of the 1930s, as a result of the Reichspogroms. He spends his days in trains, on platforms, in station restaurants, and encounters refugees and Nazis, as well as good and bad people…

The production by László Bagossy with Manuel Krstanovic in the title role promises an evening full of literary and theatrical discoveries.

Direction: László Bagossy
Set Design: Stephen Crane
Costumes: Renáta Balogh
Musical Direction: Sebastian Huber

Featuring Manuel Krstanovic

The crazy and fantastic folk and world music duo conquers the hearts of the audience with accordion, banjo, and powerful voices. Dan Wall from the USA and Magdalena Kriss from Germany play both their own songs and new interpretations of folk and roots music from Central Europe, the Balkans, and America. In 2023, they won the prize of the 35th Freiburg Culture Fair, the "Freiburg Ladder".

Doors open: 7:30 pm

The continuation of the successful acoustic concert series with former ECHOES musicians Oliver Hartmann, Martin Hofmann, and others - supported by an exclusive string quartet from Prague!

PULSE is the newly formed Pink Floyd tribute band, founded by ex-ECHOES musicians Oliver Hartmann, Martin Hofmann, and Markus Nanz. Under a new name, they now continue their successful concert series with great attention to detail and passion: the music of PINK FLOYD on purely acoustic instruments, newly arranged and supported by a string quartet from Prague.

The musicians have impressively proven since 2014 with their "Barefoot To The Moon" concerts that it is possible to bring the music of PINK FLOYD acoustically to the stage in an "unplugged" style and enchant their audience. Frontman Oliver Hartmann, incorporating a string quartet in addition, has given the fantastic music of the original a special and unique touch, making the musical reinterpretation an impressive audiovisual delight.

In addition to classics such as "Shine on you crazy diamond," "Another brick in the wall," or "Wish you were here," even more complex and original electronic-driven songs like "Welcome To The Machine" or "Money" are not omitted, but effectively staged with new and creative arrangements. This can be heard on the successful live production "Barefoot To The Moon" of the former band ECHOES, which since its release in 2015 has not only received high praise on Amazon but even made it to number 20 in the Media Control Charts - a kind of accolade for a tribute band.

After the last completely sold-out tour throughout Germany and the separation from ECHOES in early 2024, PULSE now continue these wonderful acoustic concerts and show what can be expected at the live concerts of the newly formed band: full houses and frenetic applause on a journey to the ACOUSTIC SIDE OF THE MOON.

The tour dates are presented by magazines such as Eclipsed and BreakOut as well as Germany's rock radio station No. 1 ROCKANTENNE!

Presented by Rockantenne, Eclipsed, and Breakout

Nubian residents of Nairobi's largest slum Kib(e)ra use different place names than the multi-ethnic majority population there. Against the backdrop of (post)colonial entanglements of ethnicity, land rights, and politics in Kenya, as well as contentious Nubian belonging, Sarre analyzes how the special relationship of the Nubi to their homeland Kib(e)ra is expressed in place names.

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

"Morning! Can someone please tell me where my bulgur salad is? - Oh, salad in the morning? Does it make you skinny? 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 migrant backgrounds. They all have life decisions to make: Master or loser? Finally school leadership or eternal 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 lifelong dream? And who lives with whom just because there is absolutely no other apartment to be found? Do we always have to go somewhere to find ourselves? Or maybe we're already there?

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

"Honey, or rather ex-honey, that's family! The source of sociability, security, and love! - A family is already in normal cases 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

Tue to Sat 10 am - 5 pm / Sun and public holidays 10 am - 6 pm

Entertainment in the best French boulevard tradition is provided by the comedy of the successful author duo Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière!

Patrick and Claudia, a professionally successful couple, actually lack nothing – except for one thing: time. Too much of it goes wasted on pointless meetings with friends, with whom they have almost nothing left to say. That should change! They come up with a plan: they want to host a farewell dinner for their long-time friends Bea and Toni. With all the trimmings: a great meal, the best wine, selected music – and at the end of the wonderful evening, they will wave a last "Au revoir" to the unsuspecting guests and never contact them again. But nothing goes as planned: Toni shows up alone at the agreed time. And all too soon he smells a rat – and begins to fight for their friendship. In the process, all sorts of unwelcome truths come to light...

The author duo Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière succeeds in delivering another light, witty comedy full of wordplay and clever punchlines after their worldwide success "Der Vorname". "A subtle piece about the nature – and mischief – of friendship," writes the Munich Abendzeitung.

Let our trio of performers Stefanie Klimkait, Antonio Lallo, and Jörg Pauly captivate you! Directed by the well-known television actor Pascal Breuer, who already achieved audience success with his production "Die Kehrseite der Medaille" at the Komödie im Marquardt.

Performances from January 17 to March 16, 2025

With Stefanie Klimkait, Antonio Lallo, Jörg Pauly
Directed by Pascal Breuer

Dramaturgy by Annette Weinmann

From the search for the ideal world - Beethoven, Schiller, and the European Idea. In fragments and visual scenes, composer and poet approach the vision of freedom and equality, which finds its projection surface for the pursuit of European identity in Beethoven's music. A visual journey through European history and insights into the biographies of the two artists, Ludwig van Beethoven and Friedrich von Schiller, combined with excerpts from Beethoven's 9th Symphony into a theatrical diorama.
A solo for two. Performed by Andreas Weiner.

Duration of the performance: approx. 70 minutes, no intermission
