Loving costumes and innovative stage designs bring the world of the little dragon to life. The well-known hits, including those by Peter Maffay, provide great musical entertainment for boys and girls from the age of four and for all who want to awaken the child within themselves once more.

A long, long time ago, dragons lived and protected the world from the cold of ice with the warmth of their fire. But over time, the ice began to destroy all living things. Arktos, a terrible snowman, aims to cover the world with ice. The old dragon Tyrion wants to prepare his little son Tabaluga for his destined task of protecting the world. But for that, Tabaluga must find the True Fire, for only then can he put an end to Arktos's machinations.

Tabaluga has the support of a magician and now sets off to find the fire. Tabaluga faces many dangers, such as the spider woman Tarantula, and discovers beautiful things as well. Thus, Tabaluga learns that the world, with all its good and evil, is wonderful and worth saving.

Arktos wants to prevent Tabaluga from fulfilling his destiny and creates a beautiful being from pure ice, the girl Lilli. Lilli's only task is to distract Tabaluga from his search for the True Fire. Tabaluga falls in love with Lilli as Arktos planned, but through this, Tabaluga discovers a great and beautiful power: Love.

After the split of Germany's Pink Floyd tribute No. 1 Echoes, the former members Oliver Hartmann, Martin Hofmann, Markus Nanz, and other ex-musicians now continue the legacy of the original under the name PULSE as a newly formed tribute. On Saturday, March 7, 2026, at 19:30, they will bring this unique live experience fresh and new to the stage of the Stadthalle Balingen!

Pink Floyd is a phenomenon in rock history – those who have experienced them live are likely to be filled for a lifetime with these sound worlds and the unique experience. The band featuring David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Rick Wright, and Nick Mason created absolute milestones with their albums like “Dark Side of the Moon,” “Wish You Were Here,” and “The Wall,” which are now indispensable in recent music history. Carrying on this legacy is the mission that the German band PULSE has dedicated itself to. The members of the newly formed group are well acquainted with the material and have performed for many thousands of concert-goers across half of Europe.

At hundreds of concerts, exceptional guitarist and singer Oliver Hartmann (ex-AVANTASIA, ex-ROCK MEETS CLASSIC), bassist Martin Hofmann, and keyboardist Markus Nanz were the core of the successful band Echoes. This band has made a name for itself far beyond the borders of Germany, not only with their live shows but also with the unique acoustic tour and release “Barefoot To The Moon” (DVD 2015 Media Charts Place 20) as well as the production “Live From The Dark Side” featuring special guests Michael Sadler (SAGA), Midge Ure (ULTRAVOX), Claude Leonetti (LAZULI), and Geoff Tate (ex-QUEENSRYCHE).

In addition to the fantastic French drummer and new member Sébastien Angrand, the female singers Carolin Riehemann and Ilka Müller, who will now be seen together on stage, the saxophonist Michael Unger, and the perfectly harmonized technical team remain in the new line-up.

Although the changes may seem subtle, PULSE has clearly made it their goal to convince and enchant their audience with a completely renewed program and enhanced stage show. Under the motto “The Best of Pink Floyd,” the audience can look forward to a fantastic live concert with special moments!

Two violins, a cello, a piano - and an abundance of creative energy: Salut Salon are “Hamburg’s most charming cultural export” (Hamburger Abendblatt). For over 20 years, the four virtuosos have been performing their “Masterpieces of ‘classical’ comedy” (The New York Times) in the most prestigious concert halls worldwide, captivating their audience with insane feats straddling Vivaldi and vocal acrobatics, tango and crime scenes, rap and Rachmaninoff - “Wonderful!” (The Economic Times India).
With their new program “Heimat”, Salut Salon will celebrate the finale of a concert trilogy starting in 2025: Following “Love” and “Dreams”, now comes the next great, almost all-encompassing theme. Because: What exactly is Heimat? Is it a place? Tradition? A feeling? Is it the people around you? Or maybe words, languages, sounds? With the dreamlike self-evidence with which the four musicians transform pieces from all corners of the world into this wonderful concert evening, they also provide their own answer: Salut Salon are at home in the world - and their home is music.

The "Comedy Barn" known from SWR has been touring with live events through the region since 2025!

Swabian, funny, and cheeky: When the Comedy Barn opens its doors, there’s no holding back for “Hillu’s Herzdropfa” (Hillu Stoll and Franz Auber) and the “Gscheidles” (Birgit Pfeiffer and Marcus Neuweiler). With numerous sketches in their luggage, they poke fun at everyday life in the dialect: How can church tax be saved without leaving the church? How does shoe cleaning become a spiritual salvation for the Swabian housewife? And with which ten words can a husband secure his daily survival? Answers, spicy humor, and hearty cabaret à la carte can only be found in the Comedy Barn.

Hillu Stoll and Franz Auber have been exciting audiences of all ages for over 20 years as the Swabian cult comedy duo “Hillu’s Herzdropfa” with lots of wit and charm. Elsbeth and Alois Gscheidle, alias Birgit Pfeiffer and Marcus Neuweiler, have also been impressing for decades, both as a duo and with solo performances featuring spontaneity, improvisational talent, and a passion for playing. The full-blooded comedians can also be regularly seen on television in addition to their live performances. Besides the Comedy Barn at SWR, they are regular guests at events such as Schwaben weissblau – hurra und helau (BR) and the Schwäbische Fasnet from Donzdorf (SWR). At the live events of the Comedy Barn, the two duos take turns presenting their best sketches.

INFO The events take place with tiered seating. Drinks will be sold before the start and during the intermission in the foyer. Drinks in the hall are not permitted.
