Those who love energetic and sweat-producing live concerts, musical diversity, and bands like The Cat Empire, Manu Chao, Gogol Bordello, or Chico Trujillo should not miss Eskorzo!

The legendary band from Granada, founded in 1995, is considered a pioneer of the "Mestizo" movement in Spain and brings together such diverse styles as Cumbia, Afrobeat, Gypsy-Punk, Reggae, Ska, Funk, and Jazz.

Influenced by artists like Fishbone, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Talking Heads, The Clash, Mano Negra, or Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Eskorzo is now itself a reference for musical fusion at the highest level. Live on stage, the seven musicians not only work like clockwork but also radiate exuberant joy of playing and pure madness. An adrenaline rush filled with energy and sweat that leads the audience to a collective catharsis, no matter if at a rock, jazz, or world music festival. With over a thousand concerts worldwide under their belt, eight released albums, and almost 30 years of musical career, Eskorzo continuously forges new paths and is considered one of the most interesting and authentic acts of the current scene. In November 2023, the band released their seventh studio album titled "Historias de Amor y otras mierdas" (in English: "Love Stories and Other Shit"), which was presented live in 2024 with more than 70 concerts in clubs and festivals across Europe. And in 2025, Eskorzo will go on tour again in Europe to properly say goodbye to this successful album and invite the audience to celebrate with new songs.

Arnd Zeigler is going on tour in 2025 with his third stage program "Immer Glück ist Können". The title is the program, because after over 200 live performances, one can justifiably claim: This is not just luck - skill must also be involved.

We can look forward to another round of packed football nights.

Anyone who knows the television show "Zeigler wunderbare Welt des Fußballs" knows what to expect from the live counterpart. Tough characters, iconic quotes, and goals of all kinds – a composition of and for football. The declared goal remains to get to the bottom of the fascination of football. Not so easy, because commercialization is ever-growing, the rules are becoming more opaque, and in the end, Bayern wins. But with football, it's like with Darth Vader: There’s still a lot of good in it. Who could convey that better than Germany’s "Fairest Professional" Arnd Zeigler? Arnd takes the audience of his live shows on an exciting journey through his football world, with all its highs and lows, always with a lot of humor and the typically ironic wink that we have known and loved for over 15 years.
Because ultimately, football is about emotions: “Football keeps us together in an invisible way. We know during a game, even when we are watching it at two different places, what the other thinks and feels at all times. In this way, we maintain the closeness that only football can give us.” Those who want to reconnect with that will find the perfect place with Arnd Zeigler.

Doors open: 7:00 PM

The world's first museum of KÖRPERWELTEN showcases unique plastinates that provide visitors with easily understandable detailed knowledge about individual organ functions as well as common illnesses.
It offers insights into the highly complex structures of the body's interior and illustrates what connects us, keeps us upright and in motion, and allows us to laugh and love.
We invite you to a unique encounter with life and a confrontation with your body.
The plastinates shown in the exhibition come from the body donation program of the Institute of Plastination in Heidelberg, where more than 22,000 donors are now registered.

Last admission: 6:00 PM

Songs with captivating depth, impressive vocals in weightless harmony, coming of age in reverb.

So Soon, the multi-instrumentalists, songwriters, and producers David Stöbener and Marco Braun create music that, despite an impressionistic approach to sound design and storytelling, develops enormous grandeur and power. Indie pop and folk merge with electronica and post-rock into an emotional whole – both in recordings and in captivating concerts with a full band.

So Soon have not only been friends since their youth, but they have also been making music together for years, investing in their art. And you can hear it in the compositions, the production, and every concert: multilayered songwriting, precise vocals, impressive sound, and enormous playing quality combine into a magical whole. Autobiographical snapshots, growing up in a world that offers much but also demands much, nebulous hope, floating melancholy: the themes of the songs.

“Bruises on your knees / Smile upon your face / Now I tie my shoes / The front-yard is a continent” is a line from “Tie My Shoes.” A song that stands representative of the quality of So Soon: the deceptively simple yet stunning poetry becomes intoxicating when Stöbener and Braun sing the lines and infuse them with music that need not shy away from comparisons to the greats of the genre, overwhelming and clearing the head. The childhood image becomes a cinematic picture. It’s best to tie your shoes: not least a good piece of advice before listening to the music. It could otherwise pull you out of them.

Doors open at 19:00.

Sharon Lewis – The Voice of Chicago

Kirk Fletcher – Virtuosity with Soul
Feeling on six strings. Kirk Fletcher, born in 1975 in Bellflower, California, grew up in his father's church, where he found his musical roots. Inspired by his brother, he began playing guitar early and soon became an integral part of the West Coast blues scene.
He has played with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Joe Bonamassa, and Eros Ramazzotti, toured with Michelle Branch, and participated in Grammy-nominated productions. In 2022, his seventh studio album Heartache By The Pound was released, recorded in the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals. The album blends gospel, soul, and deeply rooted blues – with great feeling and a clear commitment to the dignity of the genre.
Fletcher himself says: "I'm just a bluesman. My guitar is my loudspeaker for all the things I feel and want to express."

The Woman of Tarts - Katja Berlin

The successful author and columnist Katja Berlin is currently regarded as the woman of satirical graphics. Last year, her book "Wofür Frauen sich rechtfertigen müssen" was released, a best-of work of her years-long ZEIT column "Torten der Wahrheit."

Katja Berlin now addresses the critical issues of our time live on stage. A collective of her best humorous graphics with topics such as digitization, climate protection, equality, or progress in Germany serves as the foundation for the probably funniest political retrospective since the invention of the crisis.

Her first book "Was wir tun, wenn der Aufzug nicht kommt" sold over 300,000 copies. This was followed by 16 more books, including several bestsellers. At the same time, Katja Berlin wrote columns for "Handelsblatt Magazin" as well as "Berliner Zeitung" and worked as a podcaster. For nine years, she has weekly commented on politics and society in her ZEIT column "Torten der Wahrheit" and demonstrated with her satirical infographics how humor can work in times of crisis. In 2024, this resulted in the books "Was Rechtspopulisten fordern" and "Wer mit dem Mindestlohn gut leben kann."

Doors open: 7 PM

The best news since the last podcast episode: Giulia and Chris are going on tour again! After the success of their first live shows, the DRINNIES are back.
True to the new tour motto "It can happen anywhere, anytime," they are leaving their natural habitat once again and bringing their attic to the most impressive concert halls in the country.
Whether it's a philharmonic or an opera house, what remains is the promise: no recording, no stream, no archive. This is Los Angeles, this is Hollywood.
We are very happy that we can accompany Giulia and Chris this year in Berlin, Cologne, and Hamburg and highly recommend coming – because one thing is certain: this will never happen again, in this form.

Heinrich von Kleist DER ZERBROCHNE KRUG Comedy

Right and wrong, truth and lie, power and abuse of power – the themes of this classic first performed in 1808 could hardly be more contemporary!

It is court day in Huisum, a small Dutch village. But today, the village judge Adam cannot find his judicial wig, which he desperately needs. It would not only complete his dignity as an official but also cover the unpleasant, large wound on his head that he must have somehow sustained during the night.

On this very day, the feared councilor Walter appears to check the proper conduct of the court proceedings. After all, it’s a clear case: A jug has been broken, and the culprit is quickly identified. But it’s not that simple! Gradually, it becomes clear that much more is at stake.

Tragic and comical at the same time, with unique linguistic artistry and wonderful stage characters, “Der zerbrochne Krug” has been one of the most popular classics on theater stages for over 200 years. In 2026, the material will also be part of the final school examination reading list.

A new, opulent production by director Ulrich Wiggers and set designer Leif-Erik Heine (“Cyrano de Bergerac,” “Kabale und Liebe,” among others) featuring an excellent ensemble around six-time audience award winner Andreas Klaue as judge Adam.

Performances from 31.10. to 6.12.2025

With Andreas Klaue, Stefanie Klimkait, Antonio Lallo, Annette Mayer, Gideon Rapp, Denis Riffel, Marie Schröder
Director Ulrich Wiggers
Stage and costumes Leif-Erik Heine
Dramaturgy Susanne Schmitt
