Moderation: Niels Beintker

In the Middle East, there is a struggle not only for the region but also for the future world order. The terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, the war in Gaza, the open confrontation between Israel and Iran, and the military intervention by the USA have radically changed the region. In "Eskalation" (Rowohlt Berlin), ARD journalist and Iran expert Shahrzad Eden Osterer and Richard C. Schneider, former ARD studio director in Tel Aviv, outline the historical, ideological, and geopolitical lines of the conflict. They show how the interests of the USA, China, and Russia intersect – and what this global power struggle means for Europe. An analysis from close range – about a region whose future is also ours.

Die Empörungsfalle - Ein Abend mit Saba-Nur Cheema & Meron Mendel

How can communication succeed when conversations are no longer possible and debates escalate? Calls for boycotts, an exaggerated societal sensitization, and the politicization of feelings undermine democratic coexistence. The Muslim political scientist Saba-Nur Cheema and the Israeli historian Meron Mendel are among the most prominent voices in the socio-political discourse. In their new joint book "Die Empörungsfalle" (Kiepenheuer & Witsch), they question how a democratic culture of debate can succeed that does not level differences but withstands them.

David Berlinghof präsentiert: ZAMGLACHT! - mit Christl Sittenauer, Angela Ascher und Maxi Pongratz - mit Christl Sittenauer, Maxi Pongratz und Angela Ascher

The cabaret success format of last year is back for a second round! Once again, the cabaret artist and musician David Berlinghof, hailing from Illerberg, has invited top stage guests to the Wolfgang-Eychmüller-Haus in Vöhringen. He will host the evening and also provide humorous material.

Guest performers include:

- Christl Sittenauer has been a member of the ensemble at the Munich Laugh and Shoot Society for several years and is currently touring with her brand new program "Komplizin". The SZ recently dubbed her "the noise sister among the female cabaret artists of the Free State."
- Angela Ascher is an actress and cabaret artist and is therefore not only known for her performances at the Singspiel on Munich's Nockherberg. She has also shone in many TV formats, including Tatort, Hubert and Staller, and Dahoam is Dahoam.
- Maxi Pongratz initially gained wider public exposure with the band Kofelgschroa. He is currently touring Germany with his album "rum & num". He is the winner of the Grande Passauer Scharfrichterbeil 2025.

"Oh my, did I just ZAMGLACHT!", you will say when you grin to yourself the next morning over your coffee. Secure your tickets now for this absolutely unique evening.

Saba-Nur Cheema & Meron Mendel - Die Empörungsfalle

Disput should not be shunned, as it is the engine of democracy. However, today’s constant agitation is a trap of outrage: instead of engaging in factual discussions, rigid camps and ideological echo chambers emerge, making public discourse increasingly difficult. Saba-Nur Cheema and Meron Mendel have been bringing together people with fundamentally different views for years. They provoke a debate that they know well due to their own, distinct backgrounds. On this evening, they will discuss what resilient debate practice looks like and how we can cultivate it.

Prof. Dr. Meron Mendel studied education and Jewish history in Haifa and Munich and earned his doctorate in Frankfurt. He is a professor of social work and head of the Anne Frank educational institute.

Dr. Saba-Nur Cheema is a political scientist and anti-racism trainer and advises, among others, the federal government on issues of Islamophobia.

"Schorle, Sex & Saumagen" - Boulevardtheater Deidesheim

Schorle, Sex & Saumagen

The [perfect] disaster dinner

HE - looks forward to a weekend full of Schorle, sex, and Saumagen – eroticism is in the air and the ingredients are ready: a man, a mistress, a weekend house, a perfect plan, and unfortunately also a wife and a strange friend.

This comedy has the perfect recipe for a lot of confusion and chaos. Spicy dialogues, wicked one-liners, and a sweet ensemble.

The hall will be boiling like chicken broth when the "funny" cook adds a cherry on top of the mess and the wife snacks with the friend together.

The two-hour perfect disaster dinner leaves no course out and serves a laughter festival from the appetizer through the main course to the dessert, ranking three stars.

Surprises are served just like a spectacular exit in the finale.

Experience the stars of the boulevard theater stage, Nadja Schumm and Götz Valter in the grand comedy by Marc Camoletti and under the direction of the boulevard theater director: René Weintz.

Navid Kermani & Shahrzad Eden Osterer: "Grenzen"

Navid Kermani explores in his literary work boundaries far beyond political and geographical dividing lines. He is particularly interested in existential boundaries, as well as cultural and societal border areas: the thresholds between the familiar and the foreign, between language and silence, memory and muteness, sobriety and ecstasy, life and death. His texts show that boundaries are not only established and controlled but also told, translated, and continually renegotiated and experienced – and that especially in the in-between, new perspectives on the human emerge.

On this evening at bosco, Navid Kermani will read from several of his own works, including his recently published novel "Sommer 24," which tells of what happens when the familiar world dissolves and what was once valid becomes anything but taken for granted today, as well as from "Entlang den Gräben" about his journey through Eastern Europe to Isfahan. Starting from his novels, essays, and reports, he will engage in conversation with journalist Shahrzad Eden Osterer about boundaries in both a narrower and broader sense – as political reality as well as existential experience.

Karina Syndicus & Michael Krebs - Schmuckeremiten - Kabarett. Songs. Eskalation

Karina Syndicus and Michael Krebs - Two stage alphas, both virtuoso, powerful, and extremely funny.
She plays body and he plays piano. Both are used to filling the stage alone. Together they are a daring combination.

And so their first duo program poses the big question of our time: How do you bring together what seems irreconcilable?

Is that still possible? After all, we all live in our polarized filter bubbles, where we all consume and communicate almost identically – but still hardly find any commonalities?

How well this works and how funny it can be is what you'll find out that evening. And that's exactly why this program is urgently needed.

"Schmuckeremiten" is the first duo program by Karina Syndicus and Michael Krebs. An evening full of body, music, words, clever punchlines, and surprising solutions. Because the only option is escalation.

The artists:

Karina Syndicus
Performance artist and actress for over 20 years. Numerous roles in theater, film, and television, and actually a state-recognized diploma clown.
http://www.syndicunst.com

Michael Krebs
Piano cabaret artist for over 20 years, numerous TV appearances (including Nightwash, Satiregipfel, 3-satfestival).
Awarded over 20 cabaret, small arts, and music prizes.

Stefan Leonhardsberger und Martin Schmid: "RAUHNACHT"

Rauhnacht - every disaster begins with a good intention!

Actually, farmer Erich Höller is already overwhelmed with various animal diseases and a crazy grandmother. When his daughter Nora disappears on New Year's Eve, it's clear to him: something has to change in the new year. But he is not the only one with high expectations. Even in the esteemed gravel pit dynasty Röbelreiter, nerves are frayed between raclette, champagne, and the New Year's concert. Storm front Vladimir brings Siberian snow masses, religious fanatics are preparing for the end of the world, and slowly everyone is asking: where the hell is Nora anyway?

Stefan Leonhardsberger stirs up the established categories of entertainment in his program.

The Austrian actor and singer takes on a variety of roles for this mix of cabaret and alpine western and starkly illustrates why it's better to stay at home on New Year's Eve. Martin Schmid provides the live soundtrack as the acoustic set designer on guitar.

Stefan Verra - Konfliktlöser Körpersprache

Conflict Resolver Body Language

Reading People
Understanding Impact
Experiencing Conversation

Arguments with a partner, disputes with a colleague, escalations in traffic – hardly a day goes by without nerve-wracking conflicts. Studies show that most quarrels arise from trivial matters. The trigger is almost always body language – and at the same time, the earliest warning signal that a conflict is brewing. An arrogant glance, a cocky chin, or aggressive staring suddenly makes words smell like trouble.

This naturally prompts Dynamite-Doris to immediately fire off her verbal torpedoes, while Circle-chair-Susanne ignites every conflict with her “We need to talk.” The slick body language of Drifting-Dieter, on the other hand, reveals only one thing: “I ignore you and your feelings.” Thus, a minor issue can quickly turn into an emotional injury that lingers and can even destroy relationships.
Body language expert Stefan Verra demonstrates with a lot of wit, acting talent, and scientific know-how how to recognize a conflict before it escalates. With much self-irony, he also shows why “Let’s stay objective!” never works.

At the end of the show, you will be able to decipher the smallest signals from your counterpart – and know how to skillfully defuse an escalation with facial expressions and gestures. Family celebrations, meetings, and vacations with your partner will once again be what they should be: harmonious. As always with the body language speaker, in the end, you won’t know if you laughed more or learned more.

Foyer and bar open from 6:00 PM. Admission to the auditorium from 6:30 PM.

EXPEDITION ERDE: NORWEGEN - Abenteuer am Puls des Nordens

It began in 1995 with storms and persistent rain – and the desire to get home as quickly as possible. Back then, Petra and Gerhard Zwerger-Schoner had no idea that this bumpy start would mark the beginning of a lifelong passion. Today, three decades and many travels later, the two renowned travel journalists look back on a connection with Norway that goes far deeper than typical postcard images.

For their new live show, the two filmmakers immersed themselves deeply in the country for another six months and now present a picture of Norway in almost surreal, epic force – a mixture of technical perfection and disarming honesty.
But while their footage unfolds an intoxicating aesthetic, the duo from Tyrol remains wonderfully down-to-earth on stage. They do not shy away from sharing their moments of personal failure nor the fact that often there are vast differences between the perfection on screen and the reality on the ground – whether it’s the months of living far from the comfort zone, the struggle with personal expectations, or the sobering reality behind the perfect "Instagram hotspot" of lonely wilderness. With this honest perspective, a good dose of self-irony, and their engaging manner, they draw their audience directly into their world.

The globe-trotters also portray the people and showcase their extraordinary life paths up close. Like Johann Helberg, who one morning found a 30,000-ton container ship in his front yard – and took the near-disaster with the kind of stoic calm that only the North seems to teach. Or Reidun and Svend Otto, who have created a charmingly quirky refuge with their "Pick-up Café." Behind the façade of 50s vintage cars lies a deeply impressive life philosophy and a Nordic determination that turned nothing into a worldwide magnet.

Norway has changed, and Petra & Gerhard have evolved with it. Their talk invites dreaming but also encourages reflection – on the value of nature, the longing for vastness, and the increasingly rare happiness of simply being "there."

Marianne Schätzle SCHÄTZLE PACKT AUS!

s‘ SCHÄTZLE PACKT AUS
Experience an evening where you can laugh heartily. Leave everyday life behind and immerse yourself in a cabaret program full of wit, charm, and keen observation.
Marianne Schätzle still remembers how it used to be. With playful enthusiasm and a large dose of humor, she fights through modern absurdities. As a craftsman’s wife navigating traditional gender roles, digital chaos, and the ongoing construction site in the living room, she shows with down-to-earth everyday observations how funny life can be when viewed with a good portion of self-irony.
Whether in the kitchen, at the hardware store, or with the GPS. Situations arise everywhere that only real life can script. Even modern technology doesn’t escape unscathed. TVs that no longer function without passwords and updates, GPS devices that literally speak different languages, or bicycles that weigh more than one would like to push.
With warm-hearted humor, a direct gaze, and a winking self-reflection, the program illustrates how to keep your nerves between tradition and progress – or at least tries to.

Das Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

Culinary delight and thrill: Guests at CaRe in Schotten are offered quite a lot: Das Kriminal Dinner – a delicious multi-course menu set in a stylish ambiance surrounded by an exciting crime play:

´The Last Joint of Marie Juana - A Hippie Crime´

The year 1999 is coming to an end. The old hippies Sabine and Michi are still trapped in the flower power era. Gradually, they long for change – they are ripe for the island. The invitation to the grand millennium party "HIGH END" on the tiny island of Hellegraskog comes just in time. This island, owned by beach chair tycoon Tim le Ary, serves as the venue for a retreat for "opening" on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Woodstock. The spirit of the 70s is evoked, and the colorful mix of participants, from the old 68er hippies to the 90s party girls, dive deep into the not yet forgotten world. With and in the grass, they work earnestly and substantially on themselves.

But then the unimaginable happens – a murder amidst the atmosphere of love, peace, and bliss. A lifeless body lies in the white sand. Who pushed Marie Juana over the cliff?

The seductive multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at CaRe. The thrill for nerves and taste buds starts at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m.

Admission: 6:30 p.m. / Multi-course menu and theater piece are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on-site

"SchlagerErlebnis" KERSTIN OTT, Norman Langen, Anna Maria Zivkov, Julian David

“SchlagerErlebnis”
THE SCHLAGER NIGHT with KERSTIN OTT * NORMAN LANGEN * ANNA MARIA ZIVKOV * JULIAN DAVID
„SchlagerErlebnis“
The Schlager night of superlatives starts in 2026.
And as the top act we present THE shooting star of the scene:
KERSTIN OTT!
What a start it was in 2016! “Die immer lacht” made its way into the top 5 of all German and Austrian charts at lightning speed and filled playlists on all available streaming platforms for months. 1.2 million sold recordings and 200 million YOUTUBE clicks gave the remixed version of the catchy sing-along discofox number a release status that is hard to achieve.
And yet all the "naysayers" were mistaken: Kerstin Ott did not surface again as a “one-hit wonder,” but unwaveringly wrote new songs, songs with small stories from reality, believable, special, and danceable. She has gifted her fans four albums to date, all of which have landed in the top 5 in Germany. By now, she is indispensable from any major Schlager production and has delivered duets with big stars of the scene that are impossible to overlook (Howard Carpendale, Helene Fischer). No Schlager party is complete without “Wegen Dir,” “Regenbogenfarben,” or “Nachts Sind Alle Katzen Grau.”
Exactly this can be experienced with great technical effort. And to round off the evening, she has some cool guests with her. A mega-fantastic support is provided by the artists ANNA MARIA ZIVKOV, JULIAN DAVID, and none other than NORMAN LANGEN.
So anyone who wants to celebrate proper GERMAN SCHLAGER again should fold a huge corner in their calendar or best order tickets right away. Attention: the vocal cords will be URGENTLY needed!

Shine & Shade - Sandie Wollasch & Spark

A thrilling mix of classical, jazz, pop, and avant-garde

The ECHO Klassik award-winning group "Spark" meets Sandie Wollasch, one of the most renowned jazz singers in Southern Germany. Both enjoy reinventing themselves time and again and expressing their passion on stage. It's high time to let the sparks fly together! With a keen sense, the six musicians focus on an exciting mix of classical, pop, jazz, folk, and avant-garde, as well as unknown and unheard pieces from various eras and genres.

Here, the impressive virtuosity and the seemingly endless sound variations of "Spark" come to light, as the group draws from a rich array of instruments. With a keen sense for unusual sound connections, Wollasch and "Spark" create different moods. These serve as settings for encounters and events of all kinds – sometimes on the sunny, sometimes on the shadowy side of life.
