Shouldn't it be called expiration date? one wonders. The expiration date is the date beyond which something is no longer edible. But the world-famous cabaret artist Ralph Richter, known in parts of Saxony-Anhalt, is now at an age where he doesn’t have to be everywhere anymore. His expiration date has passed. But no matter, he enters again into the horror chamber of life, where he has no business being, but still finds something. He is a storyteller, and the audience can be sure that neither leniency nor reason has come to him.

He tests everyday life for its comedic value, without being preachy. Yet, one certainly wants to accompany his absurd views around the next corner. Various forms of amusement must be discussed. Signs of skilled labor shortages, corrective speech, linguistic confusions, utter madness, the spry retiree ruminates about the youth, and the janitor keeps his finger on the small catastrophes of everyday normalcy. One thinks: Thank goodness I’m not like that. And hasn’t even realized that one already is.

One shouldn't expect overly friendly dimmed discontent, but it does get silly. You can think along. But you don't have to. Cheerfully aging or not – at least Richter’s shelf life is not covered up. A program for people who already have everything. All cups in the cupboard, lovable quirks, and humor.

Isn’t it supposed to be expiration date? one might wonder. The expiration date is the date beyond which something is no longer edible. But the world-famous cabaret artist Ralph Richter, who is well-known in parts of Saxony-Anhalt, is now at an age where he doesn't have to be everywhere anymore. His appeal date has expired. But it doesn't matter, he steps back into the horror cabinet of life, where he has no business being, yet still always finds something. He is a storyteller from Saxony, and the audience can be sure that neither mercy nor reason have settled in with him.

He tests everyday life for its humor potential without being too preachy. Its absurd views, however, are ones you definitely want to accompany around the next corner. Various amusing topics must be discussed. Signs of skilled labor shortages, language correction, linguistic confusions, pure railway insanity, the sprightly pensioner reflects on the youth, and the janitor keeps a close eye on the small catastrophes of the daily normal sense. One thinks: Thank goodness I’m not like that. And hasn’t even noticed that they already are.

You should not expect cozy, dimmed annoyance, but it does get silly too. You can think along. But you don’t have to. Cheerful aging or not – at least with Richter the best-before date isn’t covered up. A program for people who already have everything. All cups in the cupboard, lovable quirks, and humor.

A biographical puppet theater for ages 5 and up.

What is Alles Familie?

7-year-old Anni lives with her parents in a large high-rise building. Her parents never have much time and her siblings have already moved out. So Anni often feels lonely. Fortunately, however, many other families with many children live in the building. Whether playing soccer or collecting recyclable materials, jumping on the rubber band or flying kites, hanging out on the carpet rod or playing in the cave, there is always something going on. A house full of children's noise and neighborhood chatter.

Look through the keyholes of Annegret's past, into the most diverse families and the great togetherness. Experience how lovely it is when the scent of favorite meals fills the air and the doors are mostly open.

NOTE: The play is not suitable for children under 4 years of age. We ask for consideration for other audience members. Participation in the play may be excluded under certain circumstances.

Shakti and Mathias Paqué are German songwriters who play "Songs from the Deepest Province."

What drawer could fit? They are not silly enough for music cabaret, and there is definitely too much laughing at their concerts for the singer-songwriter genre. Perhaps small arts pop or the very latest German wave without electronics?

Either way, the likelihood of feeling better after attending a MON MARI ET MOI concert than before is very high.

Shakti (vocals, sometimes also melodica and autoharp) & Mathias (guitar, vocals and other gimmicks) play songs that offer a small escape from everyday life. Eccentric songs, sometimes a bit Dada, held together by peculiar stories. Stories about the right pink, good mood spreaders, girls with provincial earrings, the highlight of the week, chocolate ice cream, or dancers at the edges of the dance floor.

Anyone who feels like a lovely evening can feel wonderfully at home at a MON MARI ET MOI concert.

In 2025, we will celebrate the 200th birthday of Johann Strauss, the unforgettable waltz king, with a splendid anniversary gala. The members of the Gala Symphony Orchestra Prague, internationally renowned soloists, and the Johann Strauss Ballet invite you to an afternoon full of music in triple time to honor the musical legacy of the fathers of the golden and silver eras of operetta. With his operettas such as "Die Fledermaus" and "Eine Nacht in Venedig," as well as over 497 other compositions, Strauss has enchanted the world. The ensemble from the golden city of Prague unleashes a true waltz frenzy and brings the era of kings and emperors of the 19th century back to life. Comedic interludes, enchanting dance choreographies, and world-famous pieces such as the "Emperor Waltz" or the "Radetzky March" promise a celebration of melodies that will be remembered for a long time.

Admission: 3:00 PM

The Prenzlau City Park from the 19th century is certainly one of the most historically significant and politically important park areas in Germany. Not only does the park itself tell the story of its usage, which dates back to the granting of city rights, but many monuments of well-known Prenzlauer individuals also provide information about historical events in the wide world, in Germany, and of course also in Prenzlau.

Meeting point: Prenzlau, at the monument in Wallgasse | at the latest 5 minutes before the event starts

Nick Young & Band
The Great AC/DC-Master-Show
There are many AC/DC tribute bands, but only one Nick Young-Master-Show!
Many bands in which Nick played were great! Only the last 10% of sweat and energy always eluded him. But these details are crucial when it comes to captivating an audience and delivering a truly authentic tribute show.
Nick is a purist and makes no compromises. He has acquired a ton-heavy PA from the 70s and his band only plays with equipment from the heyday of rock music. His trademark: the absolute analog sound.
"Nick could be world class...!" (Robert Ellis, AC/DC tour photographer 1979-1985)
The true powerful rock 'n' roll sound could be on the verge of extinction. But not as long as Nick blasts the enormous energy wave of stadium sounds from the 70s & 80s back into the 21st century.
Over time, Nick has handpicked the best musicians in the scene to put together his own master band.
The band's repertoire includes all the big hits as well as specials that not only make the hearts of die-hard fans beat faster: Highway to Hell, Back in Black, Thunderstruck, the explosive T.N.T and XXX - let yourselves be surprised.

"Could things talk ...", as the title of the program, contains songs and poems, played on the ukulele, sung and presented with heart. Whether it’s the cheeky smuggler story of Mrs. Usel Insedom or a composed, very serious call to talk more with each other and not take things worth telling to the grave, each song carries a message that must be delivered to a woman or a man. The range of themes in his poems also spans from serious to humorous to fun, regardless of whether they consist of four lines or fill an entire A4 page.

Prenzlauer Dirk Werner, born in 1961, learned to play guitar as a student with Joachim Stahnke at the music school, sang in the school's singing club, and played in various student bands. Afterwards, his instruments led a dreary existence in cases and bags until the band F.altenrock was brought to life in 2004. He is still active there today and well-known among many locals. However, he never stopped writing his own lyrics. But somehow the F.altenrockers didn’t want to know much about it. “I think they deserve to be presented!” The solution: a solo program, alone on stage.

In the meantime, Dirk Werner's secret love is the tenor ukulele. “It fits me perfectly. It’s small, handy, pretty, has a great sound, and infinite expressive variations necessary for solo performances.” Is he experienced in a completely different way than with the loud rhythms of F.altenrock music? Yes and no. “I can't completely deny that there are influences from rock and blues. So I also play a few cover songs and, what is certainly not expected of me, a few short classical pieces.” But most of the time, Dirk Werner dedicates himself to his own works.
