TONY BAUER: "We have to die a few times before we can live cool once"

Duisburg stand-up comedian enthuses the audience

Young, likable, and above all funny – that's TONY BAUER. The passionate rising star from Duisburg has brought a breath of fresh air to the comedy scene in a very short time! With his unique humor and an impressive life story, he has made a name for himself and conquered the stages of the country.

Because Tony Bauer has short bowel syndrome, a challenging health condition that requires him to rely on a continuous supply of nutrients through a tube. But instead of letting his illness get him down, Tony has decided to face it with a smile and take to the comedy stage. His motto, which he lives and embodies on stage, is: "We have to die a few times before we can live cool once." This attitude reflects his positive energy and determination.

Since 2022, Tony Bauer has enthralled audiences in many shows with his quick wit and self-deprecation. With one of his first appearances at the "NightWash" Laundromat, he recommended himself for the biggest stage in Europe: at the 1LIVE Comedy Night XXL in October 2022, he impressed over 13,000 viewers.

He is currently on tour with his first solo program "Fallschirmspringer" (Parachutist). With his charm and his very own view of the world, Tony takes the audience on a journey through his everyday life, telling of his experiences with short bowel syndrome and the absurd hurdles that have been put in his way.

Eight Classical Concerts

Tickets may still be available at local box offices or at the door.

The Kurdish musician Yalda Abbasî (vocals, dotar) and the Trio Sêreng (Nure Dlovani violin, Beate Wolff cello, Laia Genç piano) combine the rich diversity of Kurdish music with elements from Western classical and jazz music, bridging different worlds.

The four musicians come together on stage with music from their homelands including Iran, Armenia, Turkey, and Germany, breathing new life into the music of Mesopotamia through their arrangements and original compositions. Their artistic work is always seen as a contribution to Kurdish culture and self-determination.

Abbasî sings and composes in both Kurdish and Persian. Her repertoire is based on a collection of nearly forgotten Kurdish folk music and melodies from her northeastern Iranian home of Khorassan. Since 2016, she has been living in Italy, which has allowed her to further expand her musical horizons and study classical baroque singing at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan.

The Trio Sêreng was founded in 2018 by the Kurdish violinist Nure Dlovani, the German jazz cellist Beate Wolff, and the German-Turkish pianist Laia Genc. "Sêreng" means "three colors" in Kurdish. Each of the three musicians contributes their own color as a cultural and musical experience and sound to the ensemble. The result of their collaboration is a special concert experience with a harmonious blend of Western and Middle Eastern sounds, combining classical chamber music and jazz, folklore, and improvisation.

Melinda Thompson's KIDS FOR CLASSIC THEATER, KIEL presents:

Prague Festival Ballet
Conductor: Pavla Červčiková
Swan Lake
Classical ballet for children

from 4 years onwards

An evil sorcerer has transformed the beautiful young princess Odette into a swan when she ventured too close to the shore of his lake. Near the lake lies an old castle where a beautiful princess lives with her son Siegfried. Prince Siegfried feels magically drawn to the beautiful swans in the lake. He does not realize that they are actually young girls who have all been transformed into swans by the evil sorcerer and who assume human form for an hour at midnight. Prince Siegfried falls in love with Princess Odette and learns from her the secret of her transformation, and that she can only be freed from the spell by the love and faithfulness of a man...
Thus begins the beautiful fairy tale of Swan Lake, the most beloved ballet classic by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Swan Lake is the most popular ballet of all time. For many, it has become synonymous with ballet. Furthermore, the music for Swan Lake is considered one of the most beautiful ballet scores of all time.
Now, a very special and beautiful version of this ballet classic for children aged 4 to 94 is coming to the stage, created for children but by no means childish! This loving performance will be danced for the first time by the Prague Festival Ballet with sophistication and great elegance. Colorful costumes and imaginative stage design promise to enchant every child's heart.
The story will be brought to the audience by the charismatic actress Melinda Thompson as a narrator, who captivates young and old with catchy little poems full of wit, charm, and love.
The Prague Festival Ballet with soloists from leading Prague opera houses will transport you to the wonderland of playful and romantic, magical and dreamy, which should be part of every child's dream! The choreographer is the talented young dancer Pavla Červčiková – her completely new choreography remains true to the traditional style of the famous first choreographer of Swan Lake, Marius Petipa, who is widely regarded as the father of classical ballet.

Together with his guests, he brings the fun to the halls of Germany and celebrates hits from another world - and this time in a Christmas spirit. His guests for the Christmas edition: Olaf, the Flipper, and Pia Malo.
Countless hits like "The famous three words", "Adios Amor", or "The fishermen from San Juan" are the soundtrack of a unique musical career that distinguishes Andy Borg as the personified Evergreen on the European music stage. Quick-witted, witty, and rarely at a loss for words, Andy Borg is celebrating his 40th stage anniversary this year.
Olaf, the Flipper, represents German music history. With his band "Die Flippers", he filled halls and arenas across the country for almost five decades. Over 250,000 people alone saw the farewell tour of the three exceptional artists. Since 2012, Olaf, the Flipper, has been thrilling his fans as a solo artist. With hits such as "Lotus Flower", "Mona Lisa", "The Red Sun of Barbados", "Thousand Red Roses", etc., the entertainer knows how to get his audience on their feet.
What is very important at Christmas? Of course, family. That is why Andy also invites Pia Malo. The daughter of Olaf, the Flipper, has stepped out of the shadow of her famous father and recently celebrated the anniversaries of 30 years on stage and 10 years as a solo artist in her successful career. Perhaps there will also be some duets with her father during the Christmas season? We would say: not unlikely.
A concentrated dose of hit songs and a large portion of atmospheric Christmas vibes, promising one thing above all: fun and pre-Christmas spirit!
