Theater con Cuore

A puppet theater based on the children's book by Peter Brown
4+

Shouldn't everyone be a little wild from time to time? Absolutely! At least that's what Mr. Tiger thinks from the somewhat different picture book "Mr. Tiger Goes Wild." He would love to break free from the usual daily routine and try something completely new, something wild. Mr. Tiger is actually doing quite well: he has a cozy apartment, goes to work every day, and occasionally plays with the neighbor's children. And yet he increasingly feels uncomfortable. Because everyone around him is always so overly proper, almost boring. "This can't be all there is," he thinks – and suddenly an unusual wildness rises within him...

Theater con Cuore tells in expressive images that everyone needs their own space to develop. Or differently: We all need a good dose of wildness to recognize who we are and where we belong. In this process, the two puppeteers bring the characters to life as independent beings. The magic of modern puppet theater comes alive here – if not even a little wild.

A cooperation between the Cultural Office Friedrichshafen and the Child Protection Association (https://kinderschutzbund-friedrichshafen.de/junge-seiten/aktionen-zum-weltkindertag) as part of World Children's Day 2024.

Duration: 50 minutes

Sometimes things in life change in such a way that one has to realize that they themselves are not so important after all. And for Stefan Danziger, this is a liberating feeling. He pokes fun of himself and his insignificance. Starting from very personal, everyday things to world historical events: Stefan Danziger shows that failures can always be funny.

He gained his stage experience in Berlin, London, Edinburgh, and Amsterdam. The Stuttgarter Nachrichten write about the winner of the Scharfrichterbeils 2023: "His punchlines hit the mark, combining laconic humor with insight into human nature and, yes, education and awareness of history."

Doors open at 6:00 pm, you will be seated.

Informative, historical, popular: The classic tour through the old town is the "hit" among the guided tours. From the Council and the Imperia to the Cathedral and the picturesque alleys of the Niederburg, participants here get to know (almost) all the essential sights of the city center. Simply come along and experience the diversity of the largest city on Lake Constance with a lively journey through time from the Middle Ages to the present day.

Well then, in spring 2024, the ceiling lamps will probably start shaking again, and the hall floors will be lowered when Grossstadtgeflüster, with a new album in their suitcase, rumble across the country. The Berlin trio, known for their rave-punk pop anthems and timeless hits like "Fickt-Euch-Allee" or "Feierabend," "Diadem," or "Ich muss garnix," which are essential for any sophisticated house party, is embarking on a tour for the new album "Das Über-Icke," which is expected to shatter all conventions once again and then joyfully shoot past every target. "Das Über-Icke" will be released in early 2024, but has just given its first powerful sign of life in the form of the bold track "Icke!"

And because the nonchalant Berlin attitude of frontwoman Jen Bender loves nothing more than belting out punchlines with her audience, the band, with Raphael Schalz on keys and Chriz Falk on drums, will be diligently releasing tracks in the coming months to ensure their beloved audience knows every word, ready for sweat to drip from the ceiling amidst smiling nods and mosh pits. Without a doubt, after 20 years of band history, Grossstadtgeflüster is at their well-deserved peak, with well over 100 million streams on Spotify alone, 50 million on YouTube, and collaborations with artists like Danger Dan, Mine, or Fatoni, the traffic lights are glowing neon green for the next thrill ride.

It should be noted: Those who want to be there should not wait too long, as the two hall tours for the last album sold out in no time.

Doors open: 7:00 PM

"Every day is different, Rudi" is the exhibition by Sigrun C. Schleheck at the Bodenseekreis Gallery. Around 100 paintings present essential aspects of the artist's work. The painter from Überlingen-Nesselwangen was awarded the Cultural Prize of the Bodenseekreis in 2023 and is considered one of the most important and fascinating artists in the region.

Schleheck's paintings are picture puzzles in the truest sense. In them, centuries-old figures from art history encounter contemporary actors. Her visual cosmos is imaginative and full of mischievous humor. Impossibilities are put together with the greatest of ease. And so it may be that one leaves the inspiring Meersburg exhibition - with more questions than before. "Who is Rudi, please ...?" will only be one of them.

Tue-Sun and public holidays 11am-5pm Thu until 7pm

The Portuguese composer, singer, and guitarist Carmen Souza has earned an excellent reputation as a world musician in recent years. The audience at Zehntscheuer has already enjoyed the special quality of the programs of the friendly artist several times. In the songs of her new album "Port‘Inglês" (English Harbor), Souza sings about the untold stories of the British occupation in Cape Verde in her unique style. The clarity and directness of her voice convey an immediate feeling of liveliness. Souza, born to Cape Verdean parents, grew up with the Creole language and initially sang gospel songs in the church choir. Since 2003, she has been working with bassist Theo Pascal and smoothly combines the folk music of Cape Verde with contemporary jazz. This has resulted in a charmingly arranged sound that always conveys a southern lightness. Together with her band Theo Pascal (bass), Diogo Santos (piano), and Elias Kacomanolis (drums), Souza will once again delight us.

Admission & dining from 7pm

Entry: 1 hour before the game starts

The benefit concert Rotary Classic Night is a fixed part of the Constance cultural calendar. At the center stage is the internationally celebrated violinist Alina Pogostkina, who honors us with the special occasion of giving her last concert before her sabbatical break. Together with Danjulo Ishizaka, she prepares pieces by Mozart, Bach, and Kodály, and we can look forward to a special concert experience again.
The concert is a central building block for the financing of the social projects in which the Rotary Help Association is engaged. The support of the Wessenberg Legacy Foundation, homeless assistance, or the Children's Hospital Support Association is just a small glimpse into the multitude of initiatives.

Doors open at 18:15.

The Linz native Jo Strauss says goodbye to the cabaret stage after 10 successful years and is now fully concentrating on his passion: music. Letting go of the old creates space for the new. This transformation suits him well. The familiar lyrical qualities are preserved. The lyrics remain the focal point and are tastefully framed and supported by the Jo Strauss Band as usual. Jo Strauss is more honest than ever before, returning to his roots and finally putting the electric guitar back on. A voice like Tom Waits meets the Viennese song of Ludwig Hirsch.
Jo Strauss sings about the world around him. He negotiates human emotions and the depths of the human psyche. In doing so, Jo Strauss always somehow writes about love and dying; and the band plays along.
Or to put it in the words of Marcel Reich-Ranicki: "Literature knows only two themes. Love and death. Everything else is nonsense."
Partially seated!

Doors open at 7:15 PM
