Best Entertainment "Handmade"

Songs of Love and Hate ... ... is a studio album by Canadian musician and writer Leonard Cohen from 1971. Since this theme runs like a thread through almost all of his works, it became the title of the first joint production of the Leonard Cohen Project. Musicians Jürgen Gutmann (guitar, vocals) and Manuel Dempfle (guitar, vocals) focus mainly on Cohen's early songs, which are still significantly influenced by Cohen's distinctive voice and guitar accompaniment without large orchestral support. A concert by the Leonard Cohen Project is the best entertainment "handmade". The two guitarists perform these songs in a version entirely reduced to guitar music and vocals, yet authentic, without showmanship, technical manipulations, or imitation of Leonard Cohen. Nevertheless - or precisely because of that - "Suzanne", "Famous Blue Raincoat", "Bird On The Wire", "So Long, Marianne" ... sound absolutely credible and convincing - genuine and yet quite different. The painfully beautiful homage is complemented by anecdotes about the poet Leonard Cohen and rounded off with some songs by friends and contemporaries such as Simon and Garfunkel or Bob Dylan.

Already from 2004 to 2013, Rosenau, together with Theater Rampe, Theaterhaus, Literaturhaus, and Laboratorium, annually organized the "Viennese Week" festival. The idea was to focus on Vienna/Austria for a week and specifically invite cabaret artists, writers, authors, and theater productions from there to Stuttgart. The series "Wiener Blut" now picks up on this idea again. Throughout the year, various Austrian cabaret artists will present their programs at Rosenau: Social, political, and interpersonal topics are entertainingly brought to the stage in a cabaret style! And everything is a bit more biting, sinister, ironic, quirky, and often more poetic than from German territory.
The subscription consists of the following 6 events:
- 09.02.24 Benedikt Mitmannsgruber with "The strange case of Benedikt Mitmannsgruber"
- 04.04.24 Blonder Engel with "Songs that are funny and sometimes a bit sad, but that's okay"
- 19.04.24 Christine Teichmann with "Left right human rights"
- 11.09.24 Magda Leeb with "Pigging out"
- 04.10.24 Blözinger with "New Program"
- 23.10.24 Hosea Ratschiller with "HOSEA"

Explicit Lyrics!
With this album - still considered the best by many fans - J.B.O. invented Comedy Metal in 1995.

After the planned anniversary tour in 2020 fell victim to the chaos of Corona, the fun is simply being postponed now. Since time always flies by so quickly, this thing is almost celebrating another anniversary by now.

Because the just finished tour for the 20th anniversary of the equally iconic album "Master of Music" resulted in frenetic reactions and sold-out venues, J.B.O. decided to start the anniversary celebrations half a year earlier. It's gonna get extended again anyway, so better start early enough.

So from September 2024, "Explicit Lyrics" on the stages of the Republic!
The whole album performed live from beginning to end, with all the craziness and nonsense!

How will it be? A programmed demolition for all those who like it loud and silly!
A party for all fans of erect lullabies, Smurf symphonies, and good times for nose-picking.

Metal for cuddling, no time for yelling, and the ultimate kick-off to the party!
Hopefully, nobody pees their pants...

Doors open: 7:00 PM

"What Anna Mabo thinks, composes, and sings hits the listener like a projectile. But such clarity never comes at the expense of poetry: the songs take detours, lay false trails. Yet in the end, one becomes what the Anglo-Saxon calls 'enlightened.' (Ernst Molden about her first album)

Vienna's city newspaper 'Der Falter' about Anna Mabo: 'Loveliness with sly nuances meets the young Viennese songwriter, poet, and theater director Anna Mabo's delight in the unconventional and teasing. In the stronger moments, pointed, touching, and politely nasty, but in the weaker moments, also a bit too humorous.'

The Austrian daily newspaper 'Der Standard': 'One of the most interesting young artists in the country.'

Embark on a journey through time! During a tour with our city guides and their engaging narratives, the history of the city of Calw comes to life. You will learn interesting facts about the former noble families of Calw, the life and work of Hermann Hesse, and the different buildings in the city. What was the significance of "the Long One" as part of the medieval city fortifications, and what special features distinguish the numerous half-timbered houses? The public tour includes free entry to the magnificent Palais Vischer, today the city's museum, built in the splendid Louis XVI style.

jan SEVEN dettwyler is a thoroughbred musician - in the best sense of the word, quirky and incredibly creative. Most people classified the Swiss musician's debut in 2002 as "international," and in a career spanning twenty years including eleven studio albums, two compilations, four live albums, over 1000 headlining shows, and countless collaborations, the 'Soultrain' has never stopped. His reputation as a gifted live musician was established from the beginning. He was the first European ever to open the Sundance Festival in the USA. Back in Europe, he performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival and embarked on a sold-out "Unplugged" theater tour. At the same time, jan SEVEN dettwyler celebrated his anniversary: "The Art Is King" received glowing reviews in 2012, and with over 30,000 tickets sold, he had made it to the top. The Fantastischen Vier secured a Swiss support for the first time, every show ended with an encore, and the rap professionals enlisted him as the first singer ever for their single. As a result, jan SEVEN dettwyler was invited as the first Swiss musician to participate in the third season of "Sing meinen Song – das Tauschkonzert." Immediately after the broadcast in 2016, he conquered the German festival summer with "Best of 2002-2016" and went on his own club tour through Germany and Austria. Over 22,000 spectators celebrated the mix of trust, skills, and joy of playing that characterizes jan SEVEN dettwyler's longstanding live band. After touring with the F4, he was honored in 2017 with the "Swiss Music Artist Award." With "Brandneu," released in early 2020, jan SEVEN dettwyler published his first own German-language songs, and his latest work – the album "ICH BIN MIR SICHER!" was released in 2022 right on time for the 20th stage anniversary. The album title implies both the continuation of the journey dangerously close to oneself and the adherence to the German pen. All seventeen new tracks are in German. This work is probably the most direct pop-soul album that jan SEVEN dettwyler has ever created. In spring 2022, jan SEVEN dettwyler was once again seen as the host of the show "Sing meinen Song – das Schweizer Tauschkonzert," the 3rd season, after the 2nd season achieved dream ratings in 2021. The year 2022 marks a loop closing in the jan SEVEN dettwyler cosmos: 20 years of solo career are being celebrated!

The Kloster Hirsau was the site of an intellectual revolution in the 11th century, such as history has rarely experienced. The cultural significance of Hirsau and its close connection to German and European history have kept their influence up to the present day. In this tour, the ruins of the St. Peter and Paul monastery will be expertly explained as impressive stone witnesses of history. The participant ticket for the public tour entitles you to a free visit to the monastery museum.

Be prepared for a literary gem, discovered here only a few years ago, now dramatized on stage at the Tri-bühne Theater. Ulrich A. Boschwitz wrote an astonishing book at the age of just 23 in the face of the Reichspogromnacht. His novel "Der Reisende," written in 1938 and first published in German in 2017, humorously showcases how quickly and uncontestedly the familiar environment can turn hostile, in an almost Kafkaesque manner:

The Jewish merchant Otto Silbermann wanders through a Germany radically transformed by National Socialism and anti-Semitism at the end of the 1930s, as a result of the Reichspogroms. He spends his days in trains, on platforms, in station restaurants, and encounters refugees and Nazis, as well as good and bad people…

The production by László Bagossy with Manuel Krstanovic in the title role promises an evening full of literary and theatrical discoveries.

Direction: László Bagossy
Set Design: Stephen Crane
Costumes: Renáta Balogh
Musical Direction: Sebastian Huber

Featuring Manuel Krstanovic

The two go-to-guys for carefully cultivated satire have reached across borders to show that happiness can also be a source of joy for them. After years of coarseness and recalcitrance (1989 - 2014), the two cabaret heavyweights have finally put their wild years behind them and reveal themselves in their new opus as beautiful butterflies, fluttering lightly like the wind from flower to flower on the meadow of life and wetting their long tongues with the sweet nectar of love.
As notorious late bloomers, they have only now and finally been able to open themselves to the joys of the world, humbly admitting to all critics: "You were right! In many ways!" They apologize formally, and this new, now completely perfected and unparalleled in greatness and magnificence program "Redemption" is not only meant to bring the same to all those who are also of good will, but the two babe magnets see it as a way to make amends for all the past offenses, as a gift to the entire universe, especially to women.
Cuteness overload alert! With intermission.
Doors open & refreshments from 6:00 pm

Arkadina is a celebrated pop singer, a true diva, who reacts dismissively and mockingly to the modern compositions of her son Konstantin. When Konstantin presents his latest work at the lakeside estate to the gathered society, performed by his great love Nina, the conflict between the generations escalates.
From now on, no one will be spared from the turmoil of love: Nina falls in love with the writer Trigorin, the teacher Simon loves Mascha, Mascha loves Konstantin, Polina loves the doctor Dorn... More and more, the rural idyll becomes the scene of a desperate struggle for love, recognition, and fame.

Celebrated as a "milestone of Russian literature," Chekhov's famous tragic "comedy" has lost none of its fascination even 130 years after its publication.
The Altstadt Theater presents the classic in a modern interpretation, where the music plays a unique role.

“It would be his works that I would take on a journey to another planet.” – Vladimir Nabokov

“For me, Chekhov remains unparalleled: He wrote comedies about the suffering and desires of people. And because one is entertained by it and torn at the same time, his art is so compelling.”
– Woody Allen

“A genius of human love.” – Eva Strittmatter

Admission from 6:30 pm

From October 8 to 13, 2024, the literature festival WORT WELTEN celebrates the written and spoken word with a variety of events.
This year, with the thematic focus on „Moments of Change“, we want to question literature on how genuine change can concretely succeed, how we can overcome boundaries to face the challenges of the future – and that is: Now! We follow fascinating real and fictional actors into unfamiliar worlds and focus on the so-called „Gamechangers“ – unusual encounters, biographical breaks, and crossing borders. And we hope you will accompany us!
This year's festival edition is opened by the current Ludwigsburg City Writer Lucia Leidenfrost with her new work, shaped by her impressions and experiences in Ludwigsburg.

Tue to Fri 7 PM to 9:30 PM, Sat 9:30 AM to 9:30 PM, Sun 11 AM to 8 PM

Cantatas – today quickly associated with the sacred works of Bach, Telemann, or Buxtehude – were a very popular genre in Italy at the end of the 17th century, transforming lyrical texts, often with themes from ancient mythology, into music. In a small, chamber music setting, they tell in an intimate and moving way about the thoughts, affects, and emotions of their protagonists, making them like a small-scale opera scene. Accademia degli Affetti presents cantatas from the works of Alessandro Scarlatti and Georg Friedrich Händel, framed by instrumental music of the two composers.

The Idiot is back! The first house production of the Theater Atelier became a legend. Many years after the last performance, we are still overwhelmed with requests to restage the play. Therefore, we have decided to bring back our classic. Once a year, there will be two performances. As a small thank you for your interest and trust in our work.

Life and death, mercy and despair, suffering and passion, dreams and reality, greed and jealousy, in a word, the human soul is “a battlefield where God and Satan fight each other.” All of this appears in the staging of the Dostoevsky classic on the stage of the Theater Atelier.

With Kai Plaumann, Marja Rothenhöfer, Femi Morina, and Ksenia Lakmut

Doors open at 7:30 PM
