Axel Hacke liest und erzählt
»Aua! Die Geschichte meines Körpers«

Axel Hackes neuestes Buch heißt »Aua! Die Geschichte meines Körpers«. Es ist wie alle seine Bücher klug und lustig, tröstend und erhellend und darüber hinaus maximal persönlich. Es geht um solche Fragen: Wie ist es, seit fünfzig Jahren mit einem Pfeifton im Ohr zu leben? Wie kann eine Einladung ins »Literarische Quartett« zu einer Knieverletzung führen? Wie bricht man sich beim Meditieren einen Knochen?

Es geht um Gebrechen, aber auch Triumphe eines Manneskörpers in der zweiten Hälfte der Sechziger – und um das große, nie nachlassende Staunen über dessen Funktionieren. Hacke gibt Einblicke ins Banale und Geheimnisvolle, Lustige und Fürchterliche, Schöne und Abstoßende.

Weil es bei seinen Lesungen nie nur um ein Buch geht, sondern um alle und alles, trägt er auch die heitersten Texte aus seinem Gesamtwerk vor.

Axel Hacke, 1956 in Braunschweig geboren, lebt als Schriftsteller in München. Berühmt ist seine Kolumne »Das Beste aus aller Welt« in der Süddeutschen Zeitung. Seine Arbeit wurde unter anderem mit dem Joseph-Roth-Preis, zwei Egon-Erwin-Kisch-Preisen, dem Theodor-Wolff-Preis und zuletzt dem Ben Witter-Preis ausgezeichnet.

WASIHRWOLLT - Nach William Shakespeare

WASIHRWOLLT
After William Shakespeare
From 14 years

The shipwrecked Viola strands on the coast of Illyria and disguises herself as a man for protection. As Cesario, she enters the service of Duke Orsino and conveys his love vows to Countess Olivia. However, the countess immediately falls in love with Viola*Cesario, whose heart beats for Orsino. And when Viola's long-lost twin brother Sebastian appears, the (love) confusion is complete.

Who am I and if so, why? In "WASIHRWOLLT," nothing is as it seems and no one is what they claim to be. Shakespeare's comedy of errors playfully breaks down gender assignments and raises questions about (gender) identity, sexuality, and the meaning of life.

The production was awarded the Cologne Dance and Theater Prize 2023.

Cast: Janine D'Aragona, Peter S. Herff, Sefa Küskü, Ayla Pechtl, Klaus Schweizer, Maximilian von Ulardt

Brodas Bros - Atemberaubende Musik-, Licht- und Breakdance-Show aus Katalonien

Brodas Bros
Breathtaking Music, Light, and Breakdance Show from Catalonia

The new show is called "Doji," which means simultaneously in Japanese. "Brodas Bros" and "Desilence" have joined forces to create a piece in which visual interaction and dance come together simultaneously. An inner journey, where each piece that makes up the show expresses a natural state.

"Doji" is danced between light and shadow. A brutal landscape, immersed in color, rhythm, light, music, and dance. The "Brodas Bros" enlighten this space with their movement. Each piece is an ode to the different types of light, a celebration of the colors and shadows that surround us and prevail within us. Opening a door to reflect on what we are and how we move in this world of light and shadow.

In 2006, brothers Pol and Lluc Fruitós founded "Brodas Bros" and turned their knowledge of Urban Dance – Popping, Locking, Breaking, Hip-Hop, and Contemporary Dance – into their profession and passion. Together with sisters Clara and Berta Pons, they have created numerous globally successful shows.

vision string quartet - Kammerkonzert eines Streichquartetts mit Visionen

vision string quartet
Chamber concert of a string quartet with visions
Winner of the OPUS KLASSIK 2020 as the best string quartet recording

They play without sheet music and standing up, passionate about both classical and jazz: the four young men are excitingly different. With their unique ability to 'wander' between the classical string quartet repertoire, their own compositions, and arrangements from the realms of jazz, pop, and rock, the four young musicians from Berlin are turning the classical concert world on its head.

Their concert formats are diverse: The string quartet, which also sees itself as a band, performs in classical concert halls such as the Elbphilharmonie. They collaborate with ballet companies, perform concerts in light and video design, or 'dark concerts' in complete darkness.

The four musicians completed their chamber music studies with the "Artemis Quartet" in Berlin and with Günter Pichler, the leader of the "Alban Berg Quartet," at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid. They are prize winners of the Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Competition, the Concours de Genève, and the Jürgen Ponto Foundation.

Doppelte Spaßbürgerschaft - Kabarett mit Fatih Çevikkollu, Anissa Loucif und Salim Samatou

Double Fun Citizenship
Cabaret with Fatih Çevikkollu, Anissa Loucif, and Salim Samatou

Host Fatih Çevikkollu skillfully juggles German and Turkish prejudices, reservations, and fears. Can integration and international understanding also be simply funny? Of course, they can. Fatih makes it possible. On stage with him are two more guests:

Anissa Loucif is a comedian from Berlin. Half Algerian, half German. Part-time doctor and part-time comedian. She knocks people out, at least when she has her anesthesia drugs with her. As an anesthetist, she puts people to sleep, with her comedy, she does the exact opposite. She grew up with Muslim parents and Christian grandparents between Eid al-Fitr, Christmas, and nudist beaches.

Salim Samatou, the master of improvisation. With breathtaking speed and insane changes in perspective, he captivates his audience, is disarmingly honest, and doesn't shy away from direct words. Original and quick-witted, he interacts with his audience, and one thing is certain: When Salim is on stage, there are no rules, no boundaries, no taboos.

Stolz und Vorurteil *oder so - Nach Jane Austen, von Isobel McArthur

Pride and Prejudice *or something
After Jane Austen, by Isobel McArthur
German translation by Silke Pfeiffer

The survival of the Bennet family is at stake. Mrs. Bennet has five unmarried daughters - all of marriageable age. However, only men can be heirs. That's why she is determined to marry off her daughters as well as possible. When the wealthy Charles Bingley announces a visit to the neighborhood, salvation seems within reach.

At a ball at the neighboring estate, the daughters must do everything to catch Mr. Bingley's attention: dance, sing, and seduce. But not everyone is on board. Elizabeth prefers reading novels, Mary can't sing at all, and Mr. Bingley doesn't react as enthusiastically to the advances as expected. But he has brought his friend Fitzwilliam Darcy along.

Five actresses embody almost the entire cast of the novel, which, nevertheless, remains surprisingly faithful to the story. Everything is narrated from the perspective of five maids. Amidst slapstick, pop songs, and a love story, a tale of female self-determination and economic dependence emerges. Wild, touching, captivating, and above all, very humorous.

Matthias Brandt & Jens Thomas - Dämon

Matthias Brandt & Jens Thomas
Dämon
A word-music collage based on a story by Guy de Maupassant

A man begins to suffer under strange apparitions. He sees things, hears sounds that no one else perceives. He increasingly immerses himself in the idea that a terrible, unknown being is taking possession of him. The invisible becomes an obsession, until one day he comes to the realization: "I can no longer want, but someone wants for me."

"The Horla" (in the original French "Le Horla") is Maupassant's most famous fantastic novella, an early masterpiece of psychological horror literature.

Jens Thomas and Matthias Brandt connect here with their joint work in "Psycho" and use Maupassant's novella as the basis for their latest collaboration.

Matthias Brandt, born in Berlin in 1961, can be seen in many film and television roles. The award-winning actor has been experiencing unusual stage productions with Jens Thomas since 2013. Jens Thomas, born in Braunschweig in 1970, studied jazz piano at the Hamburg University of Music.

Eines langen Tages Reise in die Nacht - Schauspiel in vier Akten von Literaturnobelpreisträger Eugene O’Neill

Eines langen Tages Reise in die Nacht
Play in four acts by Nobel Prize-winning author Eugene O’Neill
Translated by Michael Walter

The Tyrones are once again united after a long time. Father James – a formerly successful stage hero – and the older son Jamie are on theater vacation. The younger son Edmund, who suffers from tuberculosis, has returned to the family after adventurous sea voyages. The drug-addicted mother Mary has recently completed a rehabilitation program successfully. It quickly becomes clear that the outer appearance of a harmonious family life is deceptive.

“Eines langen Tages Reise in die Nacht” is a classic of modern American drama, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award in 1957. Eugene O’Neill’s famous, autobiographically tinted family drama reveals the life and suffering of the Tyrone family, whose members, trapped in their neuroses, uncover their innermost selves and their relationships with each other in the unraveling of the past.

As a “dramatic time bomb,” O’Neill’s award-winning masterpiece, set on an August day, has significantly contributed to the author’s worldwide fame.

Falk lädt ein: Das Liedermaching-Festival in Wolfenbüttel - Falk | Fee Badenius | Michael Krebs | Marie Diot

Falk invites you: The Liedermaching Festival in Wolfenbüttel
Falk | Fee Badenius | Michael Krebs | Marie Diot

After the furious premiere in Wolfenbüttel last season, songwriter Falk invites selected friends and companions whom he particularly appreciates. He himself works through the spirit of the times with absurd, contemplative, malicious, and lovingly cheeky compositions from life.

The fine humor expressed in the songs and stories of Fee Badenius feels like a well-dosed wellness massage for the soul. Her songs oscillate between longing and melancholy, between tenderness and strength, but they always have grounding and intelligent, meaningful wit.

Personal, close, and groovingly funny – an evening with Michael Krebs is an event. For 20 years now, the gifted songwriter has been on stage. Even during his music studies in Hamburg, Michael Krebs was the class clown. However, he only learned that music and irony are his personal dream team on stage.

Marie Diot makes music and nonsense, or in other words: a mix of indie pop, chanson, and a lot of fun. Her concerts consist of convoluted, funny announcements and songs that charmingly and straightforwardly tell stories about things that happen in life, with wordplay and irony.

Johann von Bülow & Walter Sittler - »Ich gebe Ihnen mein Ehrenwort!«: Die Weltgeschichte der Lüge

Johann von Bülow & Walter Sittler
"Ich gebe Ihnen mein Ehrenwort!": Die Weltgeschichte der Lüge

On average, a person lies two hundred times a day. Lies are the glue of world history. The documents that established the Papal States and made Hamburg a Hanseatic city: forged. Perhaps even half of the Middle Ages is an invention. And then the 19th century, the great era of impostors. They sell the Eiffel Tower and the city of London in pieces. Not to forget that in the 20th century, of course, nobody intended to build a wall in Berlin.

After the overwhelming success of their reading in honor of Roger Willemsen and Dieter Hildebrandt at the St. Pauli Theater in Hamburg, Walter Sittler (Hildebrandt) and Johann von Bülow (Willemsen) are now taking their entertaining search for the truth about lies on tour.

Newly arranged and gently updated, they throw scandalous untruths and insidious intrigues around. Much to the entertainment of the audience, who should be a few illusions poorer after this evening.

Johann von Bülow, born in Munich in 1972, and Walter Sittler, born in Chicago in 1952, are among the most famous German actors.

Danceperados of Ireland - Hooked – History of Irish Fishing

Danceperados of Ireland
Hooked – History of Irish Fishing

The name "Danceperados of Ireland" is already a symbol of the ensemble's enthusiasm for Irish step dancing. Loosely translated, it means "The Dance Crazies." It’s in their blood. Just like fishing, it is part of the Irish DNA.

With "Hooked" – translated as addicted, hooked, captivated, or under the spell of – the “Danceperados” have created a new captivating show that brings together the fascination of fishing and dancing, as well as music and singing. The songs and stories about the sea take us back to a time when people were self-sufficient and lived a simple but self-determined life. However, it was also a dangerous one. The sea has not only given but often taken away as well. All this will be seen and heard. A multimedia presentation with historical and contemporary images and videos combines with music and step dancing to create a total work of art for the eyes and ears.

Axel Hacke liest und erzählt

Axel Hacke's latest book is titled "Aua! The Story of My Body". It is, like all of his books, smart and funny, comforting and enlightening, and moreover extremely personal. It deals with questions like: What is it like to live with a whistling sound in your ear for fifty years? How can an invitation to the "Literary Quartet" lead to a knee injury? It addresses ailments, but also triumphs of a man’s body in the second half of his sixties. He himself says about his book: "It is outrageous. Also shameless. As always with me." Because his readings are never just about one book, but about all and everything, he also presents the most cheerful texts from his complete works. Thus, what Hacke always creates on stage will emerge: a cheerful evening.

Axel Hacke lives as a writer in Munich. His column "The Best from All Over the World," which he has published weekly for decades in the magazine of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, is famous. His books are bestsellers and have been translated into numerous languages. His work has been honored with the Joseph Roth Prize, two Egon Erwin Kisch Prizes, the Theodor Wolff Prize, and most recently the Ben Witter Prize.

Sabotage - Eine Tanzinszenierung von Sara Angius und Johanna Ehlert

Sabotage
A dance production by Sara Angius and Johanna Ehlert
Who manipulates whom?

"Sabotage" offers a lenient, humorously dramatic look at human nature and its pursuit of power. Dancers interact with human-sized figures within a sophisticated yet absurd power system of strings and pulleys. Without words, a surprising hierarchy of reality and illusion emerges through virtuosic movement. Who manipulates whom?

Poetic, aesthetic, brutal, profound, absurd, surprising, humorous. Human. A theater experience that defies categorization.

Sara Angius, trained at the Accademia Dance House in Milan, has been working as a freelance dancer and choreographer in Braunschweig since 2013. She has created works for both the State Theater and the independent scene, seamlessly combining contemporary dance, object animation, puppetry, and illusion in her work.

Johanna Ehlert completed her training as a stage artist at the Lido - Centre des Arts du Cirque - in Toulouse, France. She is known for her work in concept development, character design, construction, and dramaturgy. Her works have received several awards.

The Joni Project
A Celebration of Joni Mitchell’s »Songs of Blue«

Three women, three multi-instrumentalists, and singer-songwriters come together for a unique project: to revive the magnificent music of Joni Mitchell. With three strong voices and many instruments.

»The Joni Project« takes place in 2021 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Joni Mitchell's legendary album »Blue«, bringing the masterpiece in its entirety to the stage. Anne de Wolff, Iris Romen, and Stefanie Hempel dare to touch the holy grail. No album has shaped the concept of the singer-songwriter like »Blue«. In its raw self-reflection, loneliness, and vulnerability, it set new standards in the world of pop music and above all, opened doors for the female voice and narrative style.

In new interpretations and colorful instrumentations, the three musicians bring Joni's bittersweet songs to the stage in all their dark and light shades. With a lot of knowledge and humor, the musicians also tell the stories behind the songs during the live shows.

Die weiße Dame - Komische Oper in drei Akten von Eugene Scribe

Die weiße Dame
Comic opera in three acts by Eugene Scribe
In German

Avenel Castle in the Scottish Highlands is on the verge of falling into the hands of its unscrupulous steward. The rightful heir is missing, and his childhood friend can do little on her own. Suddenly, double help arrives: a lost soldier and a legendary castle ghost, the white lady. Adventurous spirit and supernatural magic join forces to fight against corruption and tyranny. And at the end of a wild race against time, after mix-ups and treasure hunts, good triumphs through the very earthly magic of love.

“The white lady,” which playfully touches upon a hint of thrilling romance, once had its firm place in the repertoires of German-speaking opera theaters. Its fading into obscurity is not least due to the vocal demands of its two main roles.

Since 2004, the Kammeroper München has stood for sophisticated music theater, audience-friendly direction and stage concepts, and unusual musical arrangements. The exceptional vocal and acting quality of the young singers is at the center, making the Munich opera ensemble a forum for the promotion of young talent.

Der ewige Spießer
Nach dem gleichnamigen Roman von Ödön von Horváth
Bühnenfassung von Michael Stacheder | Ab 15 Jahren | Abiturthema 2025

Munich, 1929. The world economic crisis dominates everyday life. In satirical sketches, we get to know various examples of the type Spießer – always conforming, always acting selfishly according to Horváth. Such as Alfons Kobler, a not particularly likeable car salesman who invests his more or less obtained money in a trip to Barcelona. Anna Pollinger, an unemployed seamstress and former lover of Kobler, who decides to get paid for love services. The unemployed Josef Reithofer, who is also a "bad guy" but still wants to do something good. They are all united by the fact that they somehow adapt – to a world – where humanity plays only a subordinate role alongside profit greed, prestige, and success mania.

Horváth's first novel from 1930 is bursting with irony, which is already visible in the subtitle "edifying novel". The world-famous author sketches episodically, pointedly, and cleverly a colorful and impressive picture of a type of human that endures through all times.

An entertaining and moving evening that will leave traces in heart and mind.

Biedermann und die Brandstifter - Ein Lehrstück ohne Lehre von Max Frisch

Biedermann und die Brandstifter
Ein Lehrstück ohne Lehre von Max Frisch

Mr. Biedermann is a virtuoso of gullibility. Although the many fires in the city make it obvious that arsonists are at work, he ignores the danger. He even consciously plays with fire when he welcomes two strangers into his home. Although he soon realizes that the two men are arsonists who want to set his villa on fire, he allows himself to be manipulated by them due to his own fears, insecurities, and passivity.

The play exposes a mindset that helps the technique of the totalitarian to succeed. "Biedermann und die Brandstifter" is a political parable that derives its critical power not from the exposure of lies, but from the bourgeois defenselessness towards criminals, who from the very beginning state what they really want.

The Swiss writer Max Frisch (1911 – 1991) became world-renowned with works like "Andorra" and "Homo Faber". After working as an architect, he achieved his literary breakthrough in 1954 with the novel "Stiller". Frisch is of utmost importance to German-language literature of the 20th century.

Die Tanzstunde - Romantische Komödie von Mark St. Germain

The Dancing Lesson
Romantic Comedy by Mark St. Germain
Translated into German by John Birke

Ever Montgomery urgently needs to learn how to dance for an award ceremony. However, he detests any form of physical contact. As a professor of geosciences, he suffers from Asperger's syndrome, a specific form of autism.

Upon the advice of the janitor, he approaches his neighbor, Senga Quinn. She is a dancer, but after a leg injury, it is questionable whether she will ever dance again in her life. So, Ever offers her $2153 for a dance lesson. Initially, Senga rejects this offer as "immoral". However, curiosity eventually triumphs, and they begin their lessons.

Quickly, absurd situations develop between the mismatched pair since Ever takes everything Senga says literally and panics when it comes to first touches, which are unavoidable while dancing.

Mark St. Germain has written a very amusing and touching comedy about two lonely souls who can barely keep the same rhythm but eventually both become brave and remarkably close.

Ben liebt Anna - Die musikalische Geschichte einer ersten Liebe

Ben Loves Anna
The musical story of a first love
Based on the novel by Peter Härtling | For ages 8 and up

For Ben and his friends, the school routine offers an unusual experience when "the New Girl" joins their class. Her name is Anna, and she and her family have moved here from Poland. Anna speaks differently, looks different, and seemingly behaves differently from everyone else.

Her new classmates greet her with mixed feelings - a mixture of rejection and curiosity. Ben feels the same way. On one hand, he is drawn to Anna, but on the other hand, he also finds some things about her strange. When she is teased by his friends, Ben defends her. And thus, it is said: "Ben loves Anna." At first, he resists because he is embarrassed, but somehow it is true. It's clear: Being in love is beautiful, but also difficult. There's excitement, feeling hurt, jealousy, arguments with friends, and the big fear of being laughed at.

The first love, dealing with social differences, and having the courage to stand by one's own feelings are the main themes of this production.

Martin Fromme - Glückliches Händchen

Martin Fromme
Lucky Hand
Provocative Inclusion Comedy

With the goal of social equality, comedian Martin Fromme pokes fun at disabled and non-disabled people alike. Germany's only asymmetrical comedian sings, reads, improvises, includes, and provokes with great skill. He is not only empathetic and authentic but also cheeky.

In his solo program "Lucky Hand," Martin Fromme proves that people with disabilities don't always have to be handled with kid gloves. With a lot of self-irony, the comedian addresses important and unimportant questions of life and pokes fun at himself. As the possible inventor of the Chinese lucky cat, he seeks solutions for politically correct terms for little people or the question of whether wheelchair users can also be ramp hogs.

Born in 1962, Martin Fromme is a comedian, author, moderator, and actor.

Cum-Ex Papers - Eine Recherche zum entfesselten Finanzwesen

Cum-Ex Papers
An investigation into unleashed finance
Awarded the German Theatre Prize "Faust" 2019

"We offer you a deal. We give you 100 euros. You give us back 200 euros. Sounds like a bad deal? Welcome to the world of criminal tax fraud!"

On October 18, 2018, nineteen media outlets coordinated by the independent research center "Correctiv" simultaneously released the largest tax robbery in European history: The "CumEx-Files." As part of this collaboration, the theater project "Cum-Ex Papers" premiered on October 25, 2018. For a year, journalists from twelve countries conducted research in secret. They uncovered how investors, banks, and stock speculators enriched themselves at the expense of the German state to an unprecedented extent. At least 55 billion euros were illegally refunded as tax to the participants through carousel transactions.

Based on the research results, the multimedia production tells a gripping economic thriller about the parallel society of an unbridled financial system. In 2019, the production was awarded the Faust Theatre Prize in the category of Directing Theater.

Ich hab da so ein Gefühl - Nach dem Bilderbuch von Katharina Grossmann-Hensel

I have this feeling
Based on the picture book by Katharina Grossmann-Hensel
For empathizing, rejoicing, and feeling angry | For ages 4 and up

Fear, anger, joy, sadness are just a few of the emotions that every person, regardless of age, feels. Often we manage to sort our feelings directly into the right drawer and give them space. But what exactly do you do when anger wells up inside you or joy starts to tickle in your stomach?

Do you spit everything out loudly or swallow it quietly? And what if you don't even know what it is that you are feeling right now? I feel something, but I don't know what. For some feelings, the right word simply hasn't been invented yet.

Theater Karo Acht interweaves biographical stories with motifs and themes from the successful picture book to create a collage with a lot of feeling(s). Karo Acht is a professional children's and youth theater from Hildesheim, founded by graduates of the Cultural Education program. Since 1999, Theater Karo Acht has worked closely with the Theater für Niedersachsen.

Koffer auf Reisen - »Es geht ums Wachsen und nicht ums Großsein!«

Koffer auf Reisen
»It’s about growing and not about being big!«
From 8 years old

Two people, on their way to different destinations and as different as day and night, suddenly find themselves facing each other. Fully packed, they cannot find a way past each other and get tangled up in the chaos of their belongings. Soon no one knows anymore which piece of luggage belongs to whom and what exactly is inside which. They clash and realize in their wild argument that fighting with each other can be a way to understand each other better.

Director Deborah Krönung narrates with »Koffer auf Reisen« not only humorously about fighting but especially about how beautiful it is to meet other people, to be open, and to let life surprise you.

»A cleverly orchestrated psychodynamics provides the dramaturgy. And when it threatens to dry up, Deborah Krönung surprises with pointed directorial ideas that offer a fantastic theater experience.« (Kölnische Rundschau)

Die drei ??? – Signale aus dem Jenseits - Basierend auf einer Geschichte von André Minninger

The Three Investigators - Signals from the Beyond
Based on a story by André Minninger
Stage adaptation by Axel Schneider | Recommended for ages 12 and above

Making contact with the dead? The three investigators - Justus Jonas, Peter Shaw, and Bob Andrews - don't believe in it. But that's exactly what the mysterious fortune teller Astrala seems to achieve. The three detectives follow her trail and find themselves in the crosshairs of an extremely mysterious criminal.

Author André Minninger is well versed in "The Three Investigators." His collaboration with the cult crime series began in 1983 at the legendary Studio Europa and since then, he has successfully worked as a book and screenplay author for the three famous detectives.

"Johan Richter plays the lovesick Bob, who increasingly doubts his sanity, with wonderful nerdy charm. Baran Sönmez portrays the clever Justus with amusing meticulousness. And Hannes Träbert captivates as the athlete Peter in a mix of vitality and defiance. (...) The play ignites from the start and is accompanied by many laughs. Yet, the direction by Lea Ralfs also manages to build up the drama of a psychological thriller at times." (Hamburger Abendblatt)

Die Entführung aus dem Serail - Singspiel in drei Akten von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Die Entführung aus dem Serail
Singspiel in drei Akten von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto von Johann Gottlieb Stephane

The young Spanish woman Konstanze, her English maid Blonde, and the servant Pedrillo were abducted during a pirate raid and sold into slavery. They end up with Bassa Selim, a native Spaniard who was once Christian but is now a Muslim. To free the prisoners, Belmonte, Konstanze’s fiancé, plans a secret operation. He is discovered, but there is no punishment. To everyone's surprise, Bassa Selim lets both couples go.

Mozart accompanies his heroes with great musical love through hope, joy, and sadness, making this play a vibrant lesson that tolerance and humanity are the keys to peaceful coexistence.

The Singspiel premiered on July 16, 1782, at the Vienna Burgtheater and was a commissioned work for Emperor Joseph II. The aim was to establish a national Singspiel in the vernacular as a counterpart to the Italian-dominated court opera.

Anna Mateur & The Beuys - Kaoshüter

Anna Mateur & The Beuys
Kaoshüter
Winner of the German Kleinkunstpreis and the German Kabarettpreis

Times change, but crises persist. There are still more order guards than "chaos guards," which is why Anna continues to guard the "chaos." What she will bring to the stage remains uncertain. One thing is certain, however - there will be everything except a bouquet of colorful melodies. And for the right groove, Frau Mateur surrounds herself only with the best musicians: Samuel Halscheidt and Kim Efert on guitars.

Anna Mateur is this magnificent, miraculous presence who, with her fabulous vocal volume and the abyssal comical wit-seriousness, overshadows everything that tries to assert itself here as major art, minor art, side or in-between art. Anna Mateur is special art.

"Anna shows an incorruptible political stance that is directed against petty-bourgeois, nationalist, and other brazenly foolish sentiments. She is an extraordinary artist, a tragicomic anti-diva with fascinating female power, who, with her sensitive, sometimes brutally ironic art, certainly does not only make friends in conservative circles."

Unendliche Sterne - Eine musikalische Spurensuche von Linda Riebau

Unendliche Sterne

Eine musikalische Spurensuche von Linda Riebau

Ein Theaterabend prall gefüllt mit Emotionen und überraschenden Geschichten.

Sie alle waren erfolgreich, schön, charismatisch, besonders. Amy Winehouse ist nur das jüngste Beispiel einer Reihe wegweisender Ausnahmekünstlerinnen, die das Rampenlicht gleichzeitig liebten und hassten – und an ihrem Ruhm und ihren Exzessen tragisch zerbrochen sind: Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Billie Holiday oder auch Whitney Houston.

Sie alle liebten, wie sie sangen – voller Sehnsucht und Schmerz. Sie erlebten Höhenflüge und tiefe Abstürze, suchten Halt bei den falschen Männern – und waren immer einsam, auch wenn sie nie alleine waren. Sie lebten mit allen Fasern ihres Körpers und vergaßen dabei das Wichtigste: die Liebe zu sich selbst.

Die Schauspielerin Linda Riebau setzt mit ihrem Stück »Unendliche Sterne« besonderen Frauen ein Denkmal und begibt sich auf musikalische Spurensuche. Zwischen den großen Songs, die untrennbar mit den Künstlerinnen verbunden sind, wirft der Theaterabend Schlaglichter auf ihre Lebensgeschichten. Glitzernd und berauschend, dann wieder berührend und erschreckend, werden die Abgründe einer nur scheinbar glamourösen Welt sichtbar.

Alle Kassen, auch privat - Solo-Theater-Comedy mit Nebenwirkungen

Welcome to a very ordinary general practitioner's office. The waiting room is bursting at the seams, the medical assistant Natia is ready to go, and Doctor Frauke arrives at work already quite stressed as usual.

Just as Dr. Annegret Kern is about to start her consultation, water starts dripping from the ceiling. A water damage in the consultation room. Dr. Kern keeps her patients entertained in the waiting room and begins to narrate her daily work routine filled with consultations, emergency services, further education, pharmaceutical consultations, and paperwork. Along the way, cracks in the health care system become apparent.

Heike Feist transforms the theater hall into a waiting room in a spectacular triple role. With heart and a sharp eye, she satirizes the relationship between doctors, patients, and even takes a dig at the pharmaceutical industry and health insurance companies. And over the course of this equally captivating and informative theater evening, a doctor, whom we think we know based on many stereotypes, becomes a doctor we all wish to have.

Marie-Antoinette oder Kuchen für alle! - Ein wildes, brüllend komisches Theaterstück und eine bitterböse Warnung an die Gegenwart

Marie-Antoinette or Cake for Everyone!
A wild, roaringly funny play and a bitterly dark warning to the present
By Peter Jordan, revised and supplemented by Leonhard Koppelmann

In Paris, there is revolution, while in the Palace of Versailles, discontent reigns: While the people outside are raging, inside Marie-Antoinette and her husband King Louis XVI have been awaiting their announced execution for fifteen years. But then and now the same problems persist: bureaucracy, intrigues, and power struggles at all levels. One simply cannot work like this.

And then this Napoleon appears. When the ice is out and the champagne is warm, Marie-Antoinette has had enough. This really goes too far.

Located between Monty Python and Quentin Tarantino, between slapstick, screwball comedy, and lavish historical drama, Peter Jordan has written a seriously turbulent comedy that sheds new light on familiar things and shoots bitter arrows of time into our present. A celebration for four actresses and actors who rapidly switch attitudes and identities.

"Plenty of slapstick, an absurd Louis-de-Funès interlude, and some chansons turn the evening into a theatrical celebration." (Berliner Zeitung)

In every migration lies a utopia, a plunge into the unknown. The group "Poets of Migration" seeks the experiment, the transformation of meanings. The stage show with texts, images, video clips, and music takes the audience on a journey - through a world of fluid identities.

The literature project "Poets of Migration" was founded in 2019 in Berlin by Wolf Farkas, Ok-Hee Jeong, and Zoran Terzić. In their stage shows, they juggle with new diversities until something familiar or crazy emerges in the end. Shaking up origins until they become the future.

Wolf Farkas, author, journalist, cultural organizer, and employee of Humboldt University. Ok-Hee Jeong, author, translator, journalist, and filmmaker, lives and works in Berlin. She studied art and Korean studies. Zoran Terzić, studied fine arts in New York, has been working as an author, stage performer, and jazz pianist in Berlin since 2001.

"A unique symbiosis of texts, sounds, images, and moods. With a varied performance, the quartet effortlessly manages to captivate the audience." (Christine Schirmer, Our Newspaper)

Cast: Wolf Farkas, Ok-Hee Jeong, Zoran Terzić

Operettengala - Große Melodien aus der Welt der Operette

Operetta Gala
Great Melodies from the World of Operetta

The best of the operetta world makes this evening as warm as the Berliner Schnauze, cheeky as Offenbach's humor, and charming as the Viennese way. Musically, noble beauties, descending politicians, love-struck gods, merry widows, jolly farmers, cheeky servants, and almost normal people come along. This illustrious bunch of colorful characters hits the sore points of human existence with their wit and chirps the most beautiful melodies.

The operetta gala with the Harzer Sinfoniker has gained a large fan base. This is mainly due to the diverse program that Music Director Johannes Rieger compiles anew each year. The program includes both well-known and lesser-known pieces, which he charmingly moderates with great knowledge and passionately conducts.

Johannes Rieger, music director since 2005 and artistic director of the Harztheater since 2009, studied at the State University of Music in Munich. He was the permanent conductor of the Ensemble for New Music European Music Project and led numerous radio and CD recordings. Guest engagements have taken him to many German theaters and orchestras.

Das tapfere Schneiderlein - Ein inszeniertes Märchenkonzert nach den Brüdern Grimm

The Brave Little Tailor
A staged fairy tale concert based on the Brothers Grimm
Ages 5 and up

The stage is simple. Chairs are placed on small podiums, with music stands in front of them. The classical concert begins. But before the intro is finished and the tale of the brave little tailor can musically pick up pace, noises mix into the music, and before the host realizes it, the fairy tale concert in front of her eyes turns into a play:

An unknown person pretends to be the real tailor and from then on gives the narrative a new direction. After all, it is wrong from the start to assume that he killed seven flies with one blow. Yes, seven flies with one blow. But the good tailor surely did not kill them, but swallowed them. And so, the flies become a constant companion and advisor for the tailor.

Bass flutes bring giants to life, recorders and jingles transform the simple stage into a royal court, and the bass clarinet becomes a melodious wild boar. Thus, the well-known fairy tale becomes a virtuoso musical plea for rediscovering one's own gut feeling.

Director: Sinem Altan

The Brave Little Tailor
A staged fairy tale concert based on the Brothers Grimm
Ages 5 and up

The stage is simple. Chairs are placed on small platforms, music stands in front of them. The classical concert begins. But before the intro is over and the tale of the brave little tailor can musically gain momentum, noises mix into the music and before the presenter knows it, the fairy tale concert transforms into a play right before her eyes:

An unknown person pretends to be the real little tailor and from then on, the story takes a new direction. After all, the basic assumption that he killed seven flies at one stroke is already wrong. Yes, he did kill seven flies at one stroke. But the good little tailor certainly did not kill them, but rather swallowed them. And so, the flies become constant companions and advisors for the little tailor.

Bass flutes bring giants to life, recorders and jingles transform the simple stage into a royal court, and the bass clarinet becomes a sonorous wild boar. Thus, the well-known fairy tale becomes a virtuoso musical appeal to rediscover one's own gut feelings.

StandUp Deluxe: Nektarios Vlachopoulos - 60 Minuten pure Unterhaltung

StandUp Deluxe: Nektarios Vlachopoulos
60 minutes of pure entertainment

Nektarios Vlachopoulos is probably the best person in the world because he likes honesty, peace, and everyone to like him. The incredible power of self-irony allows him to effortlessly deal with any obstacles and makes him immune to reason and maturity. This nearly unbeatable superhero has only one weakness: his panicked fear of conflicts. Additionally, he is emotionally fragile, has a variety of allergies, and regularly fails to meet the basic requirements of his own life.

However, he excels in language. Nektarios masters the entire spectrum of absurdities from Ringelnatz to Pimmelwitz, uses the prefix "bums-" to intensify adjectives, and surprises himself time and again with finely crafted rhetoric and clever thoughts. A true gangster who has never been in a fight.

"StandUp Deluxe" is a new format on the studio stage of the Lessing Theater. An intimate setting with a maximum of 100 audience members and 60 minutes of pure stand-up.

Das Alles Archiv - oder der Dominoeffekt der Dinge

The Everything Archive
or the domino effect of things
Ages 10 and up

In the "Everything Archive," there is everything that can be lost, preserved, forgotten, and found. And everything in it stands side by side on an equal footing. For some things, we know the underlying story, and for others, we have to imagine it: Have you ever wondered why individual shoes are lying on the roadside? Or how many types of tears there are, why shopping is so much fun, and why we always want more and more?

Three actors search through the archive in search of how we give value and meaning to things. They invent stories, research with their bodies, think with the audience, and ultimately ask themselves: What do I really need?

The production was nominated for the Cologne Dance and Theater Prize 2023.

Die Wanze - Ein Insektenkrimi nach dem gleichnamigen Buch von Paul Shipton

The Bug
An insect thriller based on the book of the same name by Paul Shipton
Ages 11 and up

"My name is Muldoon, Bug Muldoon. I am a sleuth, a private detective, if you want to know exactly. Not only the best sleuth in the entire garden, but also the cheapest. At least the only one you can hire. More precisely, the only one still alive."

Bug Muldoon is actually a quite ordinary beetle, and how he got his name seems to be an endless story. In any case, he is - like many well-known figures in his profession - a bit shabby, quick-witted, and pretty cool. In his first case, he encounters unusual incidents in the ant colony, narrowly escapes a four-member wasp killer commando, and almost falls into the deadly clutches of the dreaded spider.

"The Bug" is an exciting and also humorous storytelling solo for little and big fans of detective stories. Themes such as the prevention of dictatorship and solidarity are entertainingly addressed.

Spatz und Engel - Die Geschichte der ungewöhnlichen Freundschaft zwischen Edith Piaf und Marlene Dietrich

Spatz und Engel
The story of the unusual friendship between Edith Piaf and Marlene Dietrich
Play with music by Daniel Große Boymann and Thomas Kahry

One comes from a Prussian officer family, the other is the child of a circus acrobat and a street singer. One grows up in a boarding school in Weimar, the other in a brothel in Normandy. One changes her men like her wardrobe, the other always dreams of true love. One dies at 91 and is the greatest star Germany has ever produced. The other barely reaches 47. When she dies, France goes into national mourning, with 40,000 people following her coffin.

Edith Piaf (1915 to 1963), the "little sparrow of Paris," and Marlene Dietrich (1901 to 1992), the "blue angel," meet in New York in 1948. From then on, both divas share an intense friendship that largely goes unnoticed by the public.

From their first meeting to Piaf's early death and Marlene's retreat to her Paris apartment, "Spatz und Engel" connects the story of these two world stars with their unforgettable chansons.

SPOTTED - Netzwerk für Tanz-Gastspiele in Niedersachsen

SPOTTED
Guest performance of the newly established dance network in Lower Saxony
Contemporary dance

The idea behind SPOTTED is to provide high-quality dance ensembles from Lower Saxony with performance opportunities and to make the diversity of contemporary dance in our state visible. The dance pieces that go on tour as part of SPOTTED are selected by an independent jury through an open application process.

The Lessing Theater is also part of this network and offers a stage to the selected SPOTTED productions on two dates. The dance company selected for this date was not yet determined at the time of printing. Please check the current schedule at http://www.lessingtheater.de.

SPOTTED is a collaboration between the State Association of Performing Arts in Lower Saxony and the cooperative TANZKOOP. The project is funded by the Niedersachsen Foundation, Klosterkammer, Braunschweigischer Kulturbesitz Foundation, Hameln-Pyrmont Landscape Association, and Stade Landscape Association in 2024. The continuously growing network of venues and the selected dance pieces will be available on http://www.tanzkoop.com and http://www.laft.de, as well as on Instagram at @tanzkoop.

Café del Mundo - Guitarize the World

Café del Mundo
Guitarize the World
The musical diversity of two flamenco guitars

Jan Pascal and Alexander Kilian are Germany's most successful guitar export. With the incredible musical diversity of two flamenco guitars and a repertoire that weaves a fine line between classical and jazz, techno, and world music, the two award-winning virtuosos conquer their audience by storm.

It is their distinctive tone, their love for the authenticity of a Paco de Lucía, combined with the joy of modern pop music like Coldplay or U2, that makes these two concert artists unique. In dealing with the great music tradition from Bach to de Falla, "Café del Mundo" shows the highest sensitivity and powerful sovereignty.

Jan Pascal and Alexander Kilian come from the Franconian-Badisch-Hessian tri-border region, which they lovingly call "Alemándalucía." They are as contrasting as fire and water - and complement each other precisely because of it. Their joint live performance is the captivating dialogue of two gifted guitarists who soon caress, soon challenge each other, and bring out the best in each other.

Line-up: Alexander Kilian, Jan Pascal

Die Bücherinsel - Nach dem Roman von Janne Mommsen

The Bookshelf
Based on the novel by Janne Mommsen
A tribute to reading

Do books make people happy? The members of a book club on a fictitious North Sea island love literature: from Irish novels, to horror stories, to high literature, the range is vast.

Even cleaning lady and beach chair rental woman Sandra Malien knows and loves novels. When she is accepted into the reading circle, she surprises the others with the text of an unknown Danish author who movingly describes the colors and landscapes of the North. Everyone is deeply touched. One day, Sandra Malien cleans the shelves of the bookstore and sorts the books back in by color. Everyone is sure: Sandra must actually be an artist. Especially since she knows the famous publisher Meinhard Gerke, who is expecting an American bestseller author on the island.

However, Sandra's behavior remains a mystery; she acts strangely and inconsistently. Gradually, her energetic facade begins to crack and reveals a huge problem that she has kept secret all her life and no one expected.

Wolf’n’Büttel - Eine Stadtrevue von Christian Eitner mit der Jazzkantine

Wolf’n’Büttel
The city revue by Christian Eitner with Jazzkantine
A journey through 1000 years of Okerstadt history | Revival

Like a settler named Wulferi founding a watchman in the marshy Okerauen. Like Gotthold Ephraim Lessing saving the witch Katharina Sommermeyer from the gallows in Lechlumer Holz. Like Duke Julius paddling through Little Venice and Michael Praetorius playing at the dance tea in the library. Like the Welfs coming and going and suddenly all becoming gardeners. Like Günter Mast giving Paul Breitner a deer antler in the depths of the seventies. Like the pole turning into a bar and hippies tramping to Schlucklum. Like Trabbis being stuffed with bananas at Mattierzoll and then everyone singing "I've been looking for freedom" without knowing what it means. Why Wolf 'n' Büttel is just awesome!

All this and much more will be explained by our Wolfenbüttel locals Louie and Markus Schultze together with Maike Jacobs, Julia Wunderlich, Cappuccino, and Jazzkantine from Löwenstadt. With lots of music, dance, singing, and jokes on the venerable stage of the Lessing Theater.

Director: Christian Eitner

Philharmonia Frankfurt & Konstantin Emelyanov - Leitung: Juri Gilbo | 55. Harzburger Musiktage – Internationale Festspiele | Eröffnungskonzert

Philharmonia Frankfurt & Konstantin Emelyanov
Conductor: Juri Gilbo | 55th Harzburger Musiktage – International Festival | Opening Concert
Organizer: Society for the Promotion of the Harzburger Musiktage e. V.

The Philharmonia Frankfurt and its chief conductor Juri Gilbo conquered the hearts of the festival audience two years ago. "Do you love Brahms?" – this time one could ask the famous question. The program features his Symphony No. 4. Not without reason, this work, with its fabulously beautiful and affectionate melodies, is one of the most popular and frequently performed orchestral works by the composer. After the intermission and the sounds of Tchaikovsky's Polonaise, the audience will get to know a highly gifted young pianist, Konstantin Emelyanov. In 2022, he won the prestigious 11th International German Pianist Award and the Audience Award of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. With the Philharmonia Frankfurt by his side, he will present Rachmaninoff's enchanting Piano Concerto No. 2 to the audience.

The further concerts of the 55th Harzburger Musiktage – International Festival will take place in the Knights' Hall of the Bündheimer Schloss in Bad Harzburg.

Program
Johannes Brahms (1833–1897) | Symphony No. 4, op. 98
Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky (1840–1893) | Polonaise from the opera "Eugene Onegin"
Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943) | Piano Concerto No. 2, op. 18

Axel Hacke - Axel Hacke liest und erzählt

Axel Hacke - Axel Hacke reads and tells

Axel Hacke's latest book is called "Ouch! The Story of My Body". It is, like all of his books, clever and funny, comforting and enlightening, and beyond that, maximally personal. It raises such questions: How is it to live with a ringing in your ear for fifty years? How can an invitation to the "Literary Quartet" lead to a knee injury? How does one break a bone while meditating?
It is about ailments, but also triumphs of a male body in the second half of the sixties – and about the great, never-ending wonder of its functioning. Hacke provides insights into the banal and the mysterious, the funny and the dreadful, the beautiful and the repulsive. He himself says of his book: “It is outrageous. Also shameless. As always with me.”
Because his readings are never just about one book, but about all and everything, he also presents the most cheerful texts from his entire body of work. Thus, what Hacke always creates on stage will emerge: a cheerful evening.

Axel Hacke lives as a writer in Munich. He is famous for his column "The Best from All Over the World", which he has published every week for decades in the "Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin". He is one of the most well-known authors in Germany, his books are bestsellers and have been translated into numerous languages. His work has been honored with the Joseph Roth Prize, two Egon Erwin Kisch Prizes, the Theodor Wolff Prize, and most recently, the Ben Witter Prize.
