Comedian and cabaret artist Johannes Flöck presents his new live program "Schöner schonen – Humor für Hektikverweigerer" and invites you to leave everyday stress behind and indulge in regular breaks.

Join Flöck on a humorous journey through the stumbling blocks of daily life. From the art of mindfulness to current topics like healthy eating, the e-bike hype, and new scientific insights into active relaxation – Johannes Flöck leaves nothing out that serves the supposedly essential self-optimization. His humorous-philosophical prompts encourage his audience to rethink even seemingly set-in-stone positions.

Flöck, a self-declared opponent of haste, shares helpful tips on how to take life lightly and humorously. His self-ironic approach shows that one can remain young and fit without the obsession with optimization. Accordingly, his motto is: "Nothing makes you younger than the indulgence in everything that is pleasurable."

Furthermore, the cabaret artist proves that he can maintain and even top the high gag density of his millions of clicks on social media short videos in a live, full-length show.
Therefore, beware: risk of sore laughing muscles!

Doors open at 19:00.

Playing, laughing, being loud, romping, doing nothing – and that in an exhibition house! From September 4, 2024, BAUBAU invites exactly that. In the play space for children designed by artist Kerstin Brätsch, more is allowed than forbidden. Colorful wallpapers, structures, objects, and a range of “Loose Parts” form spaces on the ground floor of the Gropius Bau that do not impose fixed guidelines but are determined by the activities of the children. They dictate the direction and form of what happens here. Thus, this place becomes a space of possibilities that can change day by day.

BAUBAU will launch in September 2024 in a prototype version and will continue to develop and grow over the coming years both inside and outside the Gropius Bau – in close exchange with the children and their wishes, as this is their place.

The Play
All children have the urge to play. This is how they learn to understand themselves and the world. Especially open, self-determined play is of great significance for emotional and social development. The educational concept for BAUBAU is therefore based on the principles of free play: Here, there is time, space, and permission for children to follow their own needs and interests. They are accompanied by playworkers – trained staff who create a safe and supportive environment where children can play freely.

 
The Art
BAUBAU playfully questions what a museum or an art institution should be. The comprehensive spatial design developed by Kerstin Brätsch is full of references and inspirations: elements from her previous works, such as marbling, paintings, or stucco marble work, reappear here in altered forms and materialities. The wallpapers, curtains, fabrics, seating furniture, and climbing structures are inhabited by dinosaurs, fantastical beings, termite mounds, and abstract elements. With their strange, funny, and perhaps a bit eerie shapes, they create an open framework for free play.

Kerstin Brätsch's practice is designed to allow and incorporate influences from outside. While she has previously collaborated with artists or artisans, she now does so in a completely different way with children: She invites the children to reshape and further develop the space according to their own ideas and visions, without the influence of the artist in unpredictable ways.

The permanent exhibition on the life and work of Erich Maria Remarque offers a detailed look into the life, work, and thoughts of the famous writer through numerous photographs, documents, and manuscripts. The exhibition is bilingual, presented in German and English throughout.

Divided into seven sections covering his youth in Osnabrück (1898–1921), the years in Hanover and Berlin (1922–1928), the discussion around All Quiet on the Western Front (1928–1930), his exile in Europe (1931–1939) and the USA (1939–1948), his political works in the 1950s, and the 1960s leading up to his death on September 25, 1970 in Locarno, the exhibition attempts to highlight the ruptures, contradictions, and controversies in Remarque's life while emphasizing their productivity for his work. It illustrates Remarque's numerous psychological conflicts, aiming to resolve the apparent contradiction between the "bon vivant" and the "militant pacifist," and provides insight into his acquaintances, friendships, and marriages. Numerous originals such as the death mask or Remarque's original desk complement the presentation.

Another focus of the exhibition is the worldwide, often highly controversial reception of Remarque's works, which have been translated into at least 60 languages and continue to attract a global audience of millions.

An information terminal allows visitors to delve deeper into specific questions about Remarque's life and work. Another terminal provides access to over 2,000 photographs spanning all stages of Remarque's life, his residences, contacts, and the film adaptations of his works.

The exhibition is open for free visits on Tuesdays to Fridays from 10 am to 1 pm and from 3 pm to 5 pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am to 5 pm. Guided tours for school classes and other interest groups can also be arranged outside regular opening hours. Tours can be scheduled with Mr. Martin Siemsen (siemsen.m@osnabrueck.de) by phone at 0541/323-2109 or fax at 0541/323-4355.

A shop on-site offers materials related to Remarque's life and work for sale.

The castle with a lot to offer: "HerrschaftsZeiten! Erlebnis Cadolzburg" from June 24, 2017 at the Cadolzburg - the new highlight of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region

A powerful castle - the setting of the illustrious history of a ruling family that has achieved great success: this was and is the Cadolzburg. The rulers were the Hohenzollern family, who ruled over Franken and later Brandenburg, also gaining electoral dignity in the 15th century. Later on, they even became Prussian kings and German emperors.

The Cadolzburg derives its radiance not only from its role as the starting point of a significant career in the Holy Roman Empire - the impressive structure itself reflects this golden era of the Hohenzollerns. The new museum "HerrschaftsZeiten! Erlebnis Cadolzburg" of the Bavarian Administration of State Castles will make this time - the late Middle Ages - exciting and informative for visitors through innovative communication concepts. While walking through the castle, visitors can learn not only about the architectural history, wars and peace, daily life, and governing tasks of the princely castle residents. There is much to discover here through interactive and sensory means:

Visitors can experience the castle through their sense of smell, there are tactile stations, sounds and dialogues, vivid models, and invitations to try things out. Exciting or challenging games, medieval Hohenzollerns in their own words, and the jester Contz who guides visitors through the castle bring the Middle Ages to life. Visitors can also expect to see several original medieval artifacts such as swords, maces, or a magnificent treasure chest. Other objects were specially crafted for the museum based on extensive research in historical techniques, such as the gilded armor of the famous General Albrecht Achilles, or textiles dyed according to original recipes. The Bavarian Administration of State Castles also made significant contributions to experimental historical research, like creating a breastplate from boiled leather, in line with the ambition of creating one of Germany's most important castle museums.

The cultural communication of the Bavarian Administration of State Castles also offers a diverse program of accompanying events, making this exciting history even more intriguing - for the young nobleman as well as the castle enthusiast.

Not only the Middle Ages but also the Cadolzburg itself now comes back to life. After the extensive damage of World War II, original medieval rooms and successful architectural creations of the 21st century can now be experienced. The modern buildings completed in 2017 bridge the medieval era with our present time.

You can expect very special experiences here - it truly is THE CASTLE WITH A LOT TO OFFER.

 

 

The Romantic era was a particularly brilliant period for portrait miniatures, reaching its peak and at the same time signaling the end of this special painting technique. Countless artists created portraits with great empathy and astonishing technical perfection. More people than ever collected small portraits of their loved ones to carry with them or to gather at home as a pictorial family album. 142 masterpieces from the renowned Tansey collection illuminate the heyday of an art that had to make way for photography during the 19th century.

Accompanying the exhibition is a catalog that, in addition to the annotated reproduction of all works, is distinguished by essays by various experts on aspects of miniature painting during this time. Hirmer Verlag, bilingual German/English, 432 pages, 208 color illustrations.

That a thought giant like Olaf Schubert knows the answer to every question is considered basic knowledge. But now Schubert is taking the next big step. He asks questions. Important questions, like the one – “Jetzt oder now?”. So, a question that even asks questions. That the tail bites into the face here is the artist's innermost concern.

In passing, he has created a program title with an international sound with this question. From this, we recognize that Schubert is now multilingual – if not bilingual. Having arrived at the top of the iceberg of globalization, everything is now open to him. The whole world. But still, the exceptional artist remains true to us, as he also gives concerts in Germany, not many, but at least around 745. This shows he has achieved what few manage, to stay grounded despite the gigantic success. He wants to be an Olaf you can touch. Unfortunately, however, hardly anyone does this, as he recently confessed to a major news magazine. On stage, Schubert reinvents himself completely once again, and that’s why he remains exactly the same. He consistently follows his path, but he is not one to cross red lines. No – he undermines them. However, he jumps over yellow lines. As a result, he is able to shift boundaries, even invisible ones, in all directions at the same time.

How he accomplishes this, he probably does not even know himself. However, being able to observe him during his show is a grand fascination, because even this or that flat rocket will be launched during that time.

Therefore, almost everyone (even his grandma) who has ever experienced him live simply says deeply moved: Thank you, Olaf!

His friends Jochen M. Barkas and Mr. Stephan are, of course, there as always.

Doors open: 7:00 PM

“I want people to laugh, feel maximum energy and forget everything around them! I am a comedian - I’m excited about real stand-up and want to celebrate a comedy party for two hours!
With me, there’s no finger-wagging or know-it-all attitude, otherwise I would have become a politician.”

Lukas Wandke, known from RTL, ZDF, Quatsch Comedy Club, 1Live or Nightwash, will be on tour with his live program starting this autumn.

Stadelmann reads Höcke
– a satirical discourse just before the seizure of power

Ingmar Stadelmann, celebrated stand-up comedian, dissected in his previous stage programs (among others “#humorphob”, “Fressefreiheit”, “Verschissmus” and “Komm ihr klar?”), broadly societal phenomena. Now he targets a controversial figure who tramples through the political landscape: Björn Uwe Höcke. With his satirical discourse, Stadelmann dedicates himself entirely to the bizarre upheavals and promises, the words and the career of the AfD leader from Thuringia.

Amidst the social explosions, many remain speechless in shock or indifference. However, some individuals dress up to seize the moment. The wolf in sheep’s clothing is now wearing a suit. Once a trusted teacher, Björn Höcke is striving for national frontal education. But even a wolf sometimes finds its hunter. Here, the populist meets the satirist.

Ingmar Stadelmann, known as the “master of the wicked word” and a virtuoso stand-up comedian, tackles in this satirical discourse the insidious “lesson preparations” of the Thuringian AfD leader, whom many say is the true head of the party, in more detail. Stadelmann uses his colorful red pencil and dissects in book form published conversations as well as public speeches by Höcke. What exactly is so right-wing extremist about Mr. Höcke? After all, he doesn’t use the N-word on television, knows how to articulate himself reasonably well, and is neatly parted. What content can be found if the punchline is not “Bernd”? It is these obviously fascist as well as völkisch ideas that the general German has not heard about for 70 years. Or has ignored. Ingmar Stadelmann does this true to the motto: Antifascism can also be fun! Let’s free ourselves for this evening from leftist moral elevation and treat ourselves to politically incorrect punchlines until the Basic Law glows.

Is Stadelmann about educating? Converting? No. Those who cannot be reached anymore are no longer reachable. No punchline. But for those who watch the whole thing speechless… whether out of indifference or shock, this show is for them! To dissolve what is considered unbearable with humor. For this, everyone will have enough arguments after this show. So, in the end, no one can say: “We knew nothing!”

Doors open: 18:33 Uhr

Sebastian Lehmann is now in his early to mid-forties and has been touring Germany with his solo programs for ten years. But his parents still don’t know what he does for a living: "Something with media, right?" Even his little son is unsure about what his father actually does during the day: "Dad, what do you actually do when Mom earns money for us?"

So that evening, Sebastian presents what he "works" on: He makes phone calls to his son's daycare and explains why Karl Marx is relevant to early childhood education and why it's okay to pick up the wrong child sometimes. His son ranks the grandmothers by preference while Dad worries that he will have to emigrate to Lummerland after an AfD election victory. And surely, Sebastian is also on the phone with the parents in his hometown of Freiburg.

Ganz SCHÖN schnückelig • Die große Daphne Schnückel – Show

Those who know Frau Schnückel know she is lovable, captivates with her shyness, possesses an extra portion of temperament when she dances, and clings to her unique taste when it comes to her appearance. From her very first tiny appearance as an intern at the CLACK Theater, a real fanbase developed rapidly for the cult diva. Since then, a lot has happened for Frau Schnückel. For the big and small lovers of this personified gold-rimmed cup have encouraged Frau Schnückel: "You are quite schnückelig." And thus it shall be called: The great Daphne Schnückel – Show. Experience live on stage the first rendezvous with Frau Schnückel’s Italian lover Taddeo, the effects of training sessions at the gym, and confusing communications at the star restaurant "Zur rostigen Latte". The funniest trash comedy meets powerful singing performances or fast-paced choreography from two lovers whom Frau Schnückel has held dear for many years. From her private living room, Frau Schnückel talks in her lovable, almost childishly naive manner about the major changes occurring in her life and leaves no question from the audience unanswered. Now and then, the quirky home transforms into the grand revue stage, promising an entertainment show par excellence.

Frau Schnückel became nationally known through her legendary appearances on social media during the corona crisis.

60,000 thoughts are generated by an average person each day. Some are good, some are not – but most are primarily one thing: strange!
Wouldn't it be nice to have a retreat in everyday life where the brain can take a short vacation? Isabell has created this in her attic – her little personal Caribbean island. But even there, the carousel of thoughts continues spinning like a roller coaster that has gone out of control, raising incomprehensible questions:
What do we need beauty ideals for and how do I achieve perfect charm hypnosis?
What does work-life balance even mean?
How can I be a good mother and what am I actually going to eat for lunch tomorrow?
And in any case:
If I fall asleep breaded in this hot attic, will I wake up as a fried schnitzel?

Doors open & catering from 6:00 PM
