Berni has problems with nature. Naturally, he's not as smart as he would like to be, his body doesn't look the way he would like it to naturally, and overall, he is naturally a rather dissatisfied person. So he attacks nature head-on - as long as it still exists! He tells the story of the creation of the world, of genders, music, humor, and education as a contraceptive. He sings the story of life as you've never heard it - as a catastrophe and refrain: because what is evolution other than coming out of the water to learn how to drown? Many cabaret evenings ask where we are headed - Rarely is the answer: "Toward amphibianism." Unique humor, self-irony, characters, stories, jokes, and music - In his new show, Berni Wagner throws himself with all means at depression, sexuality, religion, nature, and history: Galápagos is a swim lesson through abdominal muscle training, a game of life and species death, and a declaration of love to humanity.

Doors open & refreshments available from 6:00 PM.

He doesn't give a damn. More accurately than with this edgy Bavarian saying, you can't describe the Munich-based comedian Harry G, who obviously has little interest in the famous "Bussi Bussi" and "Schickeria." Clear words, keen observations, quirky humor, a short fuse when it comes to social injustices, and fearlessness towards everything and everyone: Those who attend a show by Harry G must expect to be entertained in such a multifaceted and emotional way for over 90 minutes that they end up just as exhausted as after a brisk climb up the Wallberg. An evening with Harry G is not for resting, it is an evening full of energy and intensity that as a viewer one simply cannot and does not want to escape.

HoamStories - the title of the fourth program of the successful comedian Harry G, which will start in January 2024 - is another pun that should once again make it clear that Bavaria is much more than the well-known "Mia san Mia." Rather, it aims to illustrate the openness and zeitgeist that can be perfectly reconciled with Bavarian tradition and way of life. In HoamStories, Harry G turns his latest observations from his everyday life into the theme, where the audience often recognizes themselves embarrassingly. Harry G puts the "ordinary life" in such a light that there isn't a dry eye in the house. Almost always due to laughter, but also because some quirks are simply tear-inducing. Stories from and about Bavaria. HoamStories indeed.

What began with amusing videos in social media in 2013 has developed into an extraordinary stage success. In his programs 'Living with the Isarpreiß' (2014), '#HarrydieEhre' (2016), and HoamBoy (2020), Harry G enthralled his audience in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland as a contemporary ambassador of Bavarian way of life, in the Bavarian capital alone with 17 sold-out shows at the renowned Circus Krone. Starting in January 2024, Harry G continues this success story with his fourth program HoamStories.

Markus Stoll is a native of Regensburg and spent much of his childhood at Schliersee. After completing his high school education, he studied business administration in Innsbruck and Buenos Aires. Since 2006, the former investment manager has been living in Munich. Every free minute the father of two spends on sports, including trail running, free skiing, road cycling, and mountain biking. He admires Gerhard Polt and Fredl Fesl and is a fan of Helge Schneider and Harald Schmidt.

WOYZECK
Georg Büchner

The historical model for Georg Büchner's dramatic fragment Woyzeck is Johann Christian Woyzeck, born on January 3, 1780, in Leipzig. Out of jealousy, he stabbed the 46-year-old widow Johanna Christiane Woost in a hallway on June 2, 1821. After a long trial, in which even the Saxon crown prince intervened with an expert opinion on his behalf, Woyzeck was convicted and publicly executed on the marketplace in Leipzig on August 27, 1824.

In Büchner's version, Woyzeck is a soldier with a meager income. He supplements it by shaving his captain and making himself available to science as a test subject. After all, he has his girlfriend Marie and their illegitimate child Christian to provide for. Woyzeck lives in fear and in the extreme tension of societal circumstances, between the social system and love. Büchner's Woyzeck is in motion. The material and its story are in motion, and it will also move us. Woyzeck and Marie will propel us into movement and invite us to a potentially changed and changing perspective.

For all people aged 14 and over who love classics and the magnificent language of Büchner, and who look forward to new perspectives on well-known themes. For all who know the struggle of the individual in and with society all too well.

On a ship journey to Europe, engineer Walter Faber falls in love with the young Elisabeth and offers to accompany her on a road trip to Athens, where "Sabeth's" mother lives. Already in Avignon, the first night of love occurs for the mismatched couple. Although the scientifically-minded Faber soon learns that Sabeth is the daughter of his youthful love, Hannah, he suppresses the possibility that Sabeth could be his own daughter. Shortly before reaching Athens, catastrophe strikes: bitten by a snake, Sabeth falls and hits her head on a rock. However, in the Athens hospital, where the snake bite is treated, Faber fails in his emotional turmoil to inform the doctors about Sabeth's fall. The tragic consequence: the unknowingly committed incest demands its moral sacrifice.
Konstanze Kappenstein will adapt the 1991 film by Volker Schlöndorff of the Swiss author Max Frisch's novel for the stage.

One is probably not entirely mistaken in describing Simon & Garfunkel as the most popular music duo of all time.

Founded in 1964 by Paul and Art, who had known each other since elementary school, both outsiders connected by a great love for music.

With "Sound of Silence," they achieved international breakthrough, and Simon & Garfunkel became not only icons of folk rock but also figureheads for an entire generation of pacifists. However, as much as their voices harmonized in their songs, so great was the disharmony of their "on-and-off" relationship. Art Garfunkel always drew focus with his angelic voice, although the undeniable musical brain of the duo was Paul Simon.

After only five very successful albums, Simon & Garfunkel permanently separated in 1971, although they occasionally performed together for special occasions.

Vanessa Eckart and Katharina Müller-Elmau, in "The Harmony Game," not only dedicate themselves to the music but also illuminate the friendship of the two, largely marked by jealousy and suspicion: What led them to work through their issues with each other, where did the frequent disharmony in their private lives come from, and the perfect harmony on a musical level? And what actually comes out when you view success, ambition, envy, rivalry, affection, and animosity from a female perspective?

"The Harmony Game" – an evening full of harmonies, with stories, anecdotes, background facts, and
above all, almost two dozen outstanding songs.

By and featuring Vanessa Eckart and Katharina Müller-Elmau

"Müller-Elmau and Eckart perform their program 'The Harmony Game' in the wonderful series 'A Bow to...' at the Metropoltheater. The opening number 'Mrs. Robinson' overwhelms the audience so much that the singers were left astonished by its effect on the premiere night." (Abendzeitung)

A program full of contrasts: There are the rich, energetic works of Bach
and Mendelssohn. And then there float, like a silk cloth, impressionistic sounds
through the church space, appearing almost ethereal. One could say that here, time and
eternity meet.

Gentle live music and colorful lights create a sensual celebration for the little ones in this ode to the lullaby by the music collective "Frisse Oren". In a cozy space, a singer, a clarinetist, and an oud player create musical encounters with each other and the audience. Specifically designed scenic features, abstract, moving shapes, colorful lights, and tangible objects merge with the music to create a magical experience. An Arabic lullaby from the childhood memories of the Syrian Jaber Fayad was the starting point for "Rockaby", but Fayad's compositions reflect influences from musical traditions from around the world and from many different times. The music transports the audience with a smile to imaginative landscapes, and for once, falling asleep is allowed. The Dutch collective "Frisse Oren" is dedicated to the formative years of childhood, in which the seeds for creative life and imagination are sown. This begins in the first year of life. The performances are non-verbal and are played in close proximity and in contact with the audience, making them accessible to all small children, parents, and grandparents, regardless of their cultural backgrounds. Last year, the ensemble was with us once and transformed the Peace Church Baumberg with their piece "Wirbel" into an adventurous discovery station.

Entry shortly before the start

Welcome to the realm of knowledge in the Baroque era: Stepping onto creaking floorboards into the quiet grandeur of our historical library hall, one is immediately enveloped by the collective knowledge of the Early Modern period. Like stage sets in a Baroque theater, the original bookshelves jut into the space, housing around 50,000 books from all fields of knowledge. Behind unassuming book spines lie remarkable treasures, such as the first German Bible printed in America.

At the end of the 17th century, the orphanage's library was established as one of the first public libraries in Germany. Primarily through donations, book exchanges, and their own publications, the library grew so rapidly that within a few years, it was comparable to significant German university libraries. In 1728, it received its own building, which is considered the oldest surviving secular library structure in Germany. Not only in recent times has the library been visited by guests and researchers from around the world: Albrecht von Haller, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe all admired its bibliophilic treasures. We present a selection of them for you in rotating cabinet exhibitions in the former reading room of the library.

10 am - 5 pm

The Art and Natural History Chamber is considered the oldest German museum room. It was established by August Hermann Francke for educational purposes and is now once again set up according to the original museum concept of the 18th century in its historical location in the attic of the Historical Orphanage.

Eighteen richly decorated collection cabinets house approximately 3000 natural specimens, curiosities, and artifacts. They provide a unique impression of a Baroque cabinet of curiosities. Unlike modern museums, the chamber follows an encyclopedic collecting approach. A distinction is made between natural specimens and artifacts. The natural specimens are divided into rocks, plants, and animals, while the artifacts are categorized into visual arts, calligraphy, coins, everyday culture, and clothing. The goal was to create a mirror image of the world: a microcosm that made the macrocosm as the wonderful creation of God tangible.

In a series of events, art projects take place around the Art and Natural History Chamber. In the so-called "Contemporary Reflections on the Art and Natural History Chamber," foundations invite artists to engage in an artistic dialogue with the chamber.

Palace-like, the orphanage rises on Franckeplatz. Then as now, it is the centerpiece of the Francke Foundations. Erected in 1698 as the first building of the school city, it represents a new facet of European Baroque, combining confident representation without extravagant ornamentation and setting the tone for orphanage architecture.

Today, the orphanage is our museum and cultural center. Right from the start, two permanent exhibitions guide you through the history of the foundation and the global impact of Pietism. On the first floor, the former prayer and singing hall surprises with its bright architecture. Today, it enjoys an excellent reputation as a concert hall due to its fantastic acoustics. In the adjacent conference rooms, a photo exhibition showcases the impressive renovation work since the foundations were reestablished in 1991. The second floor is reserved for our changing special exhibitions, which provide insight into important themes of the foundation's history from both a historical and contemporary perspective. Passing through the art and natural history collections in the attic, you reach the balcony via a narrow wooden staircase. Here, a wide view opens up over the impressive ensemble with school buildings from three centuries. There is also a splendid panorama of the Old Town of Halle from here. In the basement, children can explore their own paths in the Krokoseum.

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
