(Audience discussion following on Thu/Fri/Sat)

Vati and Mutti hit their children. “Mutti hits with the wooden spoon. Vati strikes with the carpet beater.” Vati and Mutti rely on “The German Mother and Her First Child.” This guide by the NS education icon Johanna Haarer, first published in 1934, unfortunately remained a bestseller until the 1980s and influenced the childhood of millions of German children. Marie-Elisabeth Lüdde narrates how this played out in practice. She bases her work on two educational diaries she found in her parents' estate. Vati and Mutti documented their beating orgies in writing. Through numerous quotes, the author allows these scandalous diaries to flow into her own narrative. To trace the roots of violence, she also outlines the backstory of her parents. A panorama of Germany in the 20th century unfolds. A compelling voice of the culture of remembrance.

Spuren der Flucht - Migration I Mauern I Menschenwürde

Since seven years, photojournalist Klaus Petrus has been documenting escape routes across the Balkans into EU countries. During these journeys, he lived with migrants in shanties, was on the move with traffickers, crossed borders illegally with refugees, documented the violence of border police – and despite everything, experienced a lot of humanity.

Migration is not only the big theme of our time but also one that threatens to split society into a for or against – there is hardly any room for nuances. Klaus Petrus engages at eye level with refugees and shows through his black and white photographs and narratives the everyday life of people on the run, revealing the normality of a situation that is anything but normal.

There is, for example, the story of the Afghan Khalil, who after 1000 days on the run contemplates returning to his homeland, of an Iraqi who pays off his debts as a trafficker, or of 70-year-old Samira from Pakistan, who has been stuck in Bosnia for years with her grandson. Yet he encounters not only tragic and hopeless situations but also much absurdity, moments of happiness, as well as love and hope. Klaus Petrus’ images and stories provide an unusual perspective on migration – and thereby significantly shake our entrenched image of refugees.

Klaus Petrus

Klaus Petrus was a philosophy professor at the University of Bern until 2012. He then set off to the crisis regions of this world: Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, South Sudan, Ukraine. And repeatedly to the Balkan route, where he has been documenting stories of escape since 2016. Since then, he has worked as a photojournalist and reporter. He reports on poverty, exclusion, migration, and wars from Switzerland, the Balkans, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2022, Klaus Petrus was awarded the Swiss Press Photo Award for his long-term project on migration. In 2023, his book “Am Rand” was published with reports and portraits of people at the edge of our society.

Event is canceled and will be reversed.

Maxi Gstettenbauer remains STABLE

The man with the rolling "R" and unique configuration of incisors has become indispensable in German comedy. For 15 years now, the native of Lower Bavaria has avoided regular work and entertained thousands of viewers.

Maximilian Ronald Alfons Gstettenbauer (his full name) is the affable family man who despairs of both the world and his own expectations. Unfortunately, he often does so in a loud manner, which is bad for his blood pressure but excellent for our funny bone! The proto-millennial is one of the few representatives of his craft who masters both the cheeky everyday comedy and delicate social critique.

The future is shaking the fences of our present. No one wants to move so that everything remains as it never was. Yet, the most stable buildings in the world are designed to sway in an earthquake. Because nothing breaks faster than a beam that cannot bend.

This balancing act between reliable delivery of punchlines and overwhelmed world-weariness is the artistic primordial soup of Maxi Gstettenbauer.

When all certainties have been swept off the table, the darkly humorous family man seeks answers to the big questions: Can one defend the EU's external borders in Call of Duty? Can't we just strike against climate change? And how can an atomic bomb be harmful when it's vegan?

To stay STABLE, one must move. Ideally, to a theater near you!

Jan Plewka - "WANN WENN NICHT JETZT?"

JAN PLEWKA sings RIO REISER - When, if not now?

"Jan Plewka sings Rio Reiser", was one of the great successes at the Hamburg Schauspielhaus over ten years ago under the then artistic director Tom Stromberg. The performances were always sold out, the production has been played over 300 times throughout Germany by now. Now there is a second part of the evening, finally!

WHEN, IF NOT NOW? gathers songs from the time of Rio Reiser's solo career again, but focuses more on the songs from the Ton Steine Scherben years. Jan Plewka and Die Schwarz-Rote Heilsarmee bring the Scherben's music into the present. The songs have become darker and harder. The will for change back then is now charged with anger over today's conditions and made tangible. The cheerful hits and tender love songs have given way to political and combative songs. No more "König von Deutschland", no more "Junimond". They will play "Jenseits von Eden", "Warum geht es mir so dreckig?" and "Macht kaputt, was Euch kaputt macht".

A grand, powerful, and vivid show that moves between theater, performance, and concert. And Jan Plewka once again follows in the footsteps of Rio Reiser, making his songs his own on stage. This music is by no means yesterday's news, as even the Hamburger Abendblatt noted - and "Jan Plewka sings Rio Reiser, Part 2" another stroke of genius by Messrs. Stromberg and Plewka.

Fisch fromm Frisör! - Die neue Show

The madness continues! EURE MÜTTER present their brand new show "Fisch fromm Frisör" - a comedy program so bold that it leaves its t-shirt on in the pool! For over 20 years, Andi Kraus, Don Svezia, and Matze Weinmann have been touring the country far and wide, shaking many a cabaret temple to its foundations. With their eighth program, EURE MÜTTER once again delight their audience with the unique mix of funny songs, quirky sketches, and absurd performances that only specialists like the three men in their black clothes can deliver. "Fisch fromm Frisör" is an incredibly varied show, packed with precisely crafted performances and sharp punchlines. No topic is foreign to the trio, as all phenomena of daily life are artistically dissected for one evening. Their YouTube channel has over 60 million views, and those who know them from the internet know: they are really funny. But only those who experience them live truly feel what a gripping "Fuck, yeah!!!" event an EURE MÜTTER stage show is. "Fisch fromm Frisör" offers two hours of never-before-seen comedy - freshly washed, gutted, and twisted. A famous critic recently compared the three comedians to a good bottle of red wine. Not because they get better with age, but because he would find it a shame to just carelessly dump them into a pot of goulash.

Die Deutsche Ayse - von Tugsal Mogul

"The German Ayşe"
by Tuğsal Moğul

"Mama, open the fridge door and now the door of the freezer, take out all the meat and ice there and now put your head in there and stay in that position for a minute: That's how cold Germany is. No sun, lots of rain, and everyone working."

Three Turkish women from the first generation of immigrants. They arrive in a foreign country that is so different from what they had imagined. They do not want to stay long, yet they are faced with the challenge of making friends with their new home. How difficult is it to integrate into another country? And what does this country do for that? "The German Ayşe" is a scenic contribution to the ongoing debate about the success of integration. Author Tuğsal Moğul portrays in his play three strong women, whose life stories speak for themselves on stage.

Tuğsal Moğul was born in Neubeckum in 1969. In his play premiered at the Theater Münster and invited to the 2013 intercultural festival "Made in Germany" in Stuttgart, he assembles his own memories and interviews he conducted with immigrants into a joyful revue about the beginnings of migration in Germany.

"A timeless and sensitive piece that you won't easily forget." - WDR

"What makes the play so enjoyable: It depicts reality, far from ideological, cultural, or religious discussions. It simply tells the story of three people who left behind good and bad to experience bad and good elsewhere." - Ludwigsburger Kreiszeitung

Cast: Larissa Ivleva, Anne Osterloh, Katja Schmidt-Oehm, and Yavuz Köroglu

CAVEMAN - Martin Luding

CAVEMAN by Rob Becker

Men are hunters and women are gatherers. A fact that human evolution has not been able to change to this day. The cult comedy enthuses audiences and critics around the globe. A MUST for all who are in a relationship, have been in one, or want to be in one!

CAVEMAN takes a unique look at the relationship between man and woman. In the "magical underwear circle," Tom, the affable hero in the thicket of relationships, encounters his ancestor from the Stone Age, who allows him to partake in millennia-old wisdom: Men are hunters and women are gatherers. A fact that human evolution has not been able to change to this day. What the average man has always suspected, Tom now knows firsthand and wonders, "Why don't we just consider women and men as completely different cultures? With different languages, different behaviors, and different origins?" Inspired by this realization, Tom analyzes the strange universe of the gatherers: This mysterious world of best friends, shopping, and sex. With an immense need to communicate and dry humor and an ironic outlook, Tom also observes the lifestyle of the hunter. He reveals what fulfillment "sitting around without talking" can bring, why men have to channel surf through the TV program, and that a conversation among hunters begins and ends with the words "Let's go to the cellar, bore some stuff."

American Rob Becker wrote the most successful solo piece in Broadway history with CAVEMAN. After being acclaimed by millions of audiences in the United States, the modern caveman is achieving worldwide success. In Germany, the play premiered in 2000 under the direction of Esther Schweins and the translation of Kristian Bader.

Caveman: Martin Luding // Director: Esther Schweins // Original: Rob Becker // Translation: Kristian Bader

A Theater Mogul production.

7 MINUTEN - Theaterhaus - Schauspiel

7 Minutes
by Stefano Massini

A textile factory has been sold. The new owners demand a reduction in break time of 7 minutes from the workforce. The works council, consisting of 11 women, must vote on this. This seemingly "small" decision about 7 minutes can have devastating consequences for the entire workforce. Is it about the beginning of more cuts or will it stay at 7 minutes? How will each individual decide? An argumentative battle between the women will hopefully bring clarity.
No more will be revealed!

With: Fermesk Abdolrahman, Magda Agudelo Moreno, Dahab Borke, Àngels Capell, Eman Dwagy, Ouldooz Pirniya, Thuraya Sami Qashanna, Karmela Shako, Larissa Ivleva, Katerina Papandreou, Katja Schmidt-Oehm

#AnniversaryTour

Wonderful songs, unforgettable melodies, and the lifestyle of an entire generation - for 20 years, the show ABBA GOLD has been celebrating the Swedish superstars on the stages of Europe with a unique tribute. On Sunday, February 2, 2025, the singers and musicians of ABBA GOLD will bring the super hits of Agnetha, Björn, Benny, and Anni-Frid to life in a spectacular live performance at Hall T1 of the Theaterhaus Stuttgart.

"Waterloo", "Mamma Mia", "Money, Money, Money", "Dancing Queen" - by the third song at the latest, hardly a single audience member can stay in their seat. The grand concert captivates the audience, making them dance, clap, cheer, and sing along. ABBA GOLD presents the music of ABBA in such a lively and vibrant way that one might believe they are witnessing the originals themselves.

All the unforgettable super hits such as "SOS", "Super Trouper", "The Winner Takes It All", "Take A Chance On Me", "Chiquitita", "Fernando", and many more can be experienced in their original versions. The singers and musicians are outstanding, performing some ABBA hits even unplugged, creating a goosebumps-inducing feeling among the audience.

ABBA GOLD – The Concert Show revives the glamour pop of ABBA and the earworms from the glittering world on the concert stage. ABBA GOLD is not only a powerful musical revival, but authenticity is also an essential element of the stage show. Every gesture and even the Swedish accents of the performers are on point. From the original costumes to the stage design of the 70s to Benny's white piano - every little detail is considered. ABBA GOLD – The Concert Show perfectly brings the ABBA myth to life anew - overwhelming, moving, captivating, and unforgettable.

With ABBA GOLD, the audience immerses themselves deeply into the euphoria of the 70s for an unforgettable evening, where the shining eyes of the visitors sparkle in competition with the stage lighting. And in the end, the audience sings along emotionally to "Thank you for the music" - thank you for the music, thank you ABBA GOLD!
